Today, my eye started hurting with unbelievable pain. I couldn't see out of it and I asked my father if he would take me to the hospital, since it was hurting so bad. He said he had to wait for the pizza he ordered for delivery. I had to call a cab to go to the emergency room because of pizza. FML

Today, I dislocated my shoulder. I was screaming and writhing in pain, and my eyes were shut for most of the ride to the hospital. We stopped, and I was thrilled because I thought we were at the ER. I was wrong. My dad had stopped to order a cheeseburger. FML

Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML

Today, I was passing a kidney stone. I had to go to the ER but had no one to take me, so I drove myself. They made me wait 3 hours because it was suspicious that someone in "so much pain" could drive. It was the largest stone that doctor had seen in his career. FML

Today I got a call from my daughter's school, because she claimed that she couldn't see out of her right eye. I panicked and went to pick her up. On the way to the emergency room, she turns to me and says, "I'm fine. I didn't want to take a test." FML

Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML

Today, I had to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night. Even though they know I don't have any money, let alone shoes on my feet, my parents have decided it's far too much trouble to come pick me up because we're on vacation and they want to have fun. FML

Today, because of the gas crisis in my state, we had to stop taking delivers at the pizza place I work at. Someone asked if we could walk it to them. My manager agreed. FML

Today, I had to go to the emergency room with vision problems. The nurse was helping my mom fill out the paperwork. When asked for her employer, my mom started trying to sell the nurse Aflac, and got into a serious 10 minute conversation about it, all while I'm going blind in my left eye. FML

Today, I hurt my arm in a scooter accident. When my dad came to pick me up, instead of taking me to the hospital like a normal dad, he took me directly home where he spent a hour shaving and taking a shower so he would "look nice" when we went to the hospital, while I clutched my arm in pain. FML

Today, I went to urgent care for cloudy vision and eye pain to rule out an infection. They freaked out and pressured me into going to the ER, implying I could lose my vision. Several hours and thousands of dollars later, I just have dry eyes. I hate our healthcare system. FML

I don't think I'd have rushed you to the hospital just because your eye started hurting either, presuming it wasn't because of a accident, and I imagine the ambulance people would've been pretty annoyed about being called out for something not urgent. Next time man up a bit and put some ice on it or something before wasting people's time.

Suddenly being unable to see out of an eye is considered serious enough. The EMTs wouldn't be upset.

Um, no. They would not be annoyed. And if your eye hurts or your vision has been impacted, you probably shouldn't be driving yourself to the hospital with one workable eye. Driving around with dry, gritty contacts is distracting enough, forget about intense pain or vision loss.

Calling an ambulance for eye pain is a waste of time. It was most likely just a migraine seeing as he doesn't say it's part of a condition he has where it could actually be something serious. If his Dad had already ordered, an ambulance isn't going to get there that much before his Dad's ready to go and getting an ambulance means you're seen straight away, making the wait time for other people longer.

Just use birth control, ok? We don't really need more parents like that.

Pretty sure OP said he called a cab to go to the hospital, not an ambulance. Read more carefully before you start insulting people.

Even though this is like, four years old and plenty of other people have already said varying forms of this, YOU sir, are an idiot. If you suddenly go blind in one eye, that's pretty ******* serious.

Oh please, as if you don't have another eye to use...really who needs binocular vision and depth perception anyway? So overrated. And maybe if you lose an eye then you could get one of those cool dogs. Maybe.
