So I cut my foot on a piece of glass. One of the most asinine questions that someone asked in response: "Did you remove it?"
The foot? No, I'm rather attached to it still, I'm afraid.
The piece of glass? No, I left it in because the exquisite pain makes the removal so much better later on.
And what makes me sad is a barrage of where, when, how questions that come.
Fr'creeing oot lood! Is a little sympathy that hard to come by? Why can't the first question be "Are you ok?" How is where and when I stepped on it important after I've already been cut? Maybe where, so you can avoid it. But when? How does THAT figure in?
