[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2097107, member: 352098"] I've never been good at producing a witty or light-hearted response to a stupid or pointless question. There is a delay before my brain gets round to spotting that my husband has made a joke, but at least that makes him laugh. The question 'Are you sure you're a type 1 ?', asked recently by an ignorant nurse at a hospital clinic had me shocked and immediately angry. That's the way I react, but it's a relief to know that it's not just me that is driven nearly crazy by the tick box business. This nurse acts as if nobody ever doubts the need to ask the same question at every appointment and behaves as if there's something really strange about my reaction. I think I will consult my husband and son as to a suitable witty response and learn it by heart in order to cope with this woman in future. [/QUOTE]
