(I’ve never been a fan of getting shots; I would faint every time I got one until I was around twelve. Despite being in my twenties at the time of this story, when I have to take an intramuscular shot, I am less than enthusiastic, gritting my teeth, planting my heels firmly into the floor, and angrily hissing “son of a w****” repeatedly.)
Nurse: “Okay, you’re all set. Are you all right?”

Nurse: “Do you actually wa–“
Me: “YES.”
(I got grape.)
