Today, I donated blood for the first time, and all the nurses kept complimenting on how good my veins were. That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me in the past 2 months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to go to the hospital to get blood taken. The nurse mentioned how pronounced and easy to see my veins are. I guess that explains why she missed five times in a row. I'm surprised my arm doesn't look like a heroin addict's right now. FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, I went to a blood drive. The nurse taking my blood mentioned that she'd been called in on her day off, and she swore she wasn't drunk. I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled and blinked back tears as she savaged the vein in my arm. FML
Today, I went to get my blood drawn for the first time. After I explained to the nurse how nervous I was, she replied, "Oh honey, don't worry! This is my first time too!" FML
Today, I gave blood for the first time, since I'm a universal donor. After it was done, I passed out, woke up, puked, and passed out again. The kind nurses told me I was the worst case they had seen all week. So much for doing something to help others. FML
Today, I got my first compliment in over a year. It was from my gynecologist, saying I have a beautiful cervix. FML
Today, I went to the blood bank to donate plasma. All went well until the machine went to return my red blood cells. It turns out the nurse sliced my vein and the blood built up in my tissues. I now have a massive swollen arm and bruising, and look like a junkie. FML
Today, as a veteran blood donor, I made a friend who was donating for the first time- I told her not to be scared and that I've been doing it for six years and that it was a great way to help people. While at the snack area afterwards, I passed out, started convulsing and went into shock. FML
Today, an ultrasound tech complimented me on my "exceptionally full bladder." That's probably the best compliment I've received this week. FML
Today, my nurse girlfriend told me she's more attracted to the veins in my arm than any other part of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If the nurse was a guy he was probably just trying to get in your pants....don't be too flattered!

Sounds like you may need some new friends. Everyone deserves to be complimented once in a while, right? Oh and I have to be careful when I leave after getting blood drawn or anything like that. There's a high possibility I'll pass out several minutes after, with no warning, and I've been close to passing out in the street before. At least that doesn't happen to you. #22, seriously? That's about the least sexy thing you could possibly say as a pickup line. Gross.

#23, who actually uses pickup lines? Gross...and...Retarded. Eh. I'm sure you are a cool person. Down to earth and chill. Find yourself some new friends and some nice people to be around.

I love giving blood just for the fact that the nurses are always so nice. One time one of them even told me I looked like Clark Kent, for whatever reason. Plus they make sure you get tons of juice and cookies.

i really don't get these FML's where people are upset b/c they don't get complimented often enough, or they observe they have no life. just get out there and do something with yourself, quit your whining and appreciate your life.

I get told that everytime I donate blood. I never really know what to say to that. It's like, "Thanks, I grow them myself?" haha
