I've had blood drawn at least 20 times during the last year and there was only one doctor's office where they didn't manage at first or second try. So the conversation was something like this:
"Wow, your veins are hard to find. I guess you get that comment a lot, huh?"
"Actually, no, in 25 years no-one has ever said that."

"Wow, your veins are hard to find. I guess you get that comment a lot, huh?"
"Actually, no, in 25 years no-one has ever said that."
"Oh, okay."
*silence*
"So, what arm is usually used for drawing blood?"
*shrugs* "Sometimes right, sometimes left."
"Oh, okay."
*pokes me three times without any success*
*meanwhile, I am getting pissed*
"I'll go get the doctor."
Incompetent nurses, I can haz them.
