I had an interesting moment of "What? You mean some people DON'T?" this weekend.

[Poll #1308075]

My answer to both of these is "Duh! Doesn't EVERYBODY?" (In the case of mosquitos, how else do you know to swat them?) These are not small sensations for me. They are obvious and can be startling. Last weekend I learned that there are people for whom this is not the case. I was pretty surprised.

At the vet clinic, it's obvious that some animals feel the needles while others do not. That also seems very strange to me.

Yeah, some people are just impervious to any concepts coming in from outside.

(Me, I didn't mind the dragging-aside bit. I wasn't "there". I do chuckle, though, at the thought that everyone else in the room knew exactly what had happened and why. There is no love lost between me and anybody who's condescending or dismissive.)

I've never had a shot or had blood drawn standing up - I had presumed sitting was a standard precaution.

It was in the Army, which might explain some of it ;-)
