taxi driver wanting to know ins and outs of hospital visit

JulieElizabeth

I got a taxi to the hospital once. Came out of the house at about 7am and the driver said to me "Oh smile, it couldn't be that bad". I said "Well, I'm going to hospital to visit my mother - she is expected to die today". Thankfully that shut him up.

A young woman once came into my shop the day after New Year on crutches. Assuming it was a party/alcohol-related injury I cheerfully asked "So, what happened you?"

"I've got Multiple Sclerosis"

"Ah, will you excuse me, I have to go out the back and kill myself out of embarrassment"
