Now, there was no need for that...Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

Death or embarresment. Which would you choose?I was 14 and was rushed to hospital with a burst appendix and a potentially life threatening case of acute peritonitis (if you want to know why it was so acute, set the question "How dumb are you?" in the near future and I'll oblige with the stupid story).
Anyway my mum was sat by the bed, a nurse put the curtains round, then came in with a (small) bowl of shaving foam and a razor.
"What's that for?" I asked in my weakened state.
"I need to shave your pubic hair before the operation" she replied.
She lifted up the hospital gown looked for a minute, considered, then said "Actually, I think you'll be ok as you are."
Great, I'm actually at death's door and I've just been informed I'm underdeveloped. While my mum is in the room, sat right next to me.
Nurses, next time some kid is in your ward and might not make it, don't give him a puberty complex as his last living memory.
