Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

    I took two points away from this:

    1. She has no humor/had a bad day/etc
    2. They are all about the process/procedure and me making a joke broke the line of movement

    Either way, it seemed a stupid reaction and I felt very poorly about her ever since then. It’s been maybe 12 years and I still think of it sometimes.-

      You are hereby granted external permission to stop cringing at that memory. Some people just react poorly to humor, that’s not on you.

        Thanks for that, I hadn’t thought of it in those terms. Shockingly, being given permission somehow helped? I’ll have to remember that the next time I see someone in distress.
