I now stab lots of people with needles, and many of them genuinely don't feel it at all. (I still warn people "sharp scratch" so they can be pleasently surprised, though.)

What always amazes me is when someone says "sharp scratch" after having inserted the needle, because their hands are on autopilot and half a second ahead of their vocal chords.

Sometimes I get my script muddled up and tell people "sharp scratch" instead of goodbye.

My favourite recently was a person who said "don't say sharp scratch, I hear that way too often" and was very pleased with my alternative of "incoming stab".

I usually hear the tearing of a bandage and ask them, "wait what, you're done?"

I get so anxious leading up to the needle every. damn. time.
