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."

More A&E madness...First, I have nothing but respect for the medical staff working in our countries glorious NHS, however some of the staff...
Barbecue round at mine, throwing together some potato salad for people when knife slips whilst chopping chives. Removes top 10mm of my ring-finger (not completely, still hanging on by a few shreds of 'tissue'. Blood everywhere, friend comes to see what's up, passes out on the floor. Wrap tea-towel round end of finger, which promptly turns red and starts dripping. Trip to casualty for me (and friend). Arrive at 'reception'
Receptionist: What's wrong with you then?
Me: I have cut my finger very badly.
Receptionist: Can I take a look?
Me: I don't think that's a good idea, you see it is bleeding rather profusely.
Receptionist: I really do neet to look.
Me: OK...
I unwrap the blood sodden tea-towel and proceed to spray, drip, smear blood everywhere, over the glass, all over her notes, desk and PC screen.
Receptionist: Now look what a mess you've made.
Me:...
I did warn her that there was profuse bleeding didn't I?
Receptionists... Bah.
