Because the damn thing was acting up, and I was sick and absolutely not hungry, I had not eaten for 8 days. And this moron stabbed me in the elbow about 10 or 15 times trying to find a vein. I come to as he and another corpsman are putting me on a cot, and he's bitching, "Why is it always the fat ones that are afraid of needles?"

I often challenge the phlebotomists, bet you can’t do it, things like that. Sometimes I just make a fist and give them the back of my hand. No problem.

She laughed like hell, then forwarded it to her granddaughter in in Brazil. Five minutes later got a response: I can relate to Joe's answer better~!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite of all time: I was a regular blood donor. In the drawing room, a young black male phlebotomist had kept all us 'waiters' in stitches. When my turn came, I got his chair. I don't exactly remember how it came up, but I made the comment: well, I have my prejudices. He looks at me sideways & says what prejudices you got? I respond: well, I've never seen a man make as clean a stick as a woman. I got an ovation from all the women in the room. Then I made the mistake of saying I was a five-minute donor. This was back when I weighed around 118 pounds. He takes a step back, looks at me, says No ma'am you are not and goes looking for a smaller vein. He tries & tries & finally has to call a woman over to do the stick. The entire room went wild. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She broke 3 minutes a few times. My best was something like 3 min. 15 seconds. We would ask for "A table for two.

Alpo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Dangit.
