Today, I overheard someone at the mall telling his friend, "So I'm going in for a brain scan." Trying to be funny, I piped up, "Better hope they find something!" Turns out that had been the end of his sentence, and the scan is to see if his cancer has spread. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my friend with me for a radiology scan. While I was getting injections, my friend muttered, "On the bright side, if you die, you'll glow in the dark at the funeral." FML
Today, I was hanging with my mates when we found an old pregnancy test. Since I’m a guy, we thought it’d be hilarious if I took it. It came out positive, so we were roaring with laughter. That is, until someone looked up why. Turns out, I might have cancer. FML
Today, I had a CT scan done after hitting my head, for fear of a concussion. Good news: no concussion. Bad news: the tumor they "accidentally" found. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for a scan. The tech went wide-eyed and stared at his screen in horror before realizing I could see him. He wouldn't tell me what he saw, apparently only my doctor is allowed to do that. So now I have to wait for god knows how long to get my results back. FML
Today, I overheard a coworker talking about going to what sounded like a dentist's appointment. As she left later, I jokingly said, "Remember to open wide!" Turned out her appointment was with her OB/GYN, not a dentist. FML
Today, I went to the ER after a fall. Before the nurse did an X-Ray, she gave me a pregnancy test. It came back negative. I joked, "No martians have crawled into my uterus, then?" She didn't get it, and I had my head scanned for brain trauma. Never crack a joke in a hospital. FML
Today, my boss walked in and said something I didn't quite hear, but my co-worker chuckled so to be polite, I laughed with him. They gave me some weird looks. My boss was actually talking about his wife's tumor and my co-worker was coughing. FML
Today, my parents brought me to the doctor because I was "faking" a headache. One thing led to another, and it turns out I have a tumor pressing against my spine. FML
Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Today, my buddy told me he was going to get an HIV test at the health department. Without thinking, I told him to "think positive". FML

YDI. Total jerk move to say that to someone you don't know.

YDI. That's a pretty insensitive thing to say, considering you didn't know them and you didn't know the situation.

How could anyone think going in for a brain scan is for anything but something serious? You're a fucktard.

Maybe you need to go in for a brain scan. Ten percent chance they find something, and if they do, ten percent chance it isn't shit.

You overheard someone, which tells me that you weren't involved in the conversation. So YDI for 1) sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, and 2) making a snotty/sarcastic comment without knowing all the facts. Seriously, mind your own business.

Dude, why would you even be butting into strangers' conversations in the first place? That's kinda rude in general, but seriously? When you hear something like "I'm getting a brain scan", your next thought shouldn't be "Wow, this is the perfect joke opportunity!!"

YDI Jerk. I recently had to have a number of brain scans, all thanks to an idiot who, while driving on a license suspended for DUI, ran a red light and hit me. Now I'm 22 and am left permanently disabled, in constant pain and nausea and may need brain surgery. If a stranger said that to me, I'd be in a lot of trouble... for punching them in the throat. You just better hope you're never in a position where you need your brain scanned, cause I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
