"And now, we wait."

Mood: annoyed
Music: Queen - Killer Queen

Nothing wakes you up quite like a surprise 8am root canal!! (Just reading about it makes me wanna barf.)
Anyways. Long story short, my dental hygenist is a lying hag. I went in for my appointment because I had hot/cold sensitivity on one tooth (I was expecting them to tell me to brush with Sensodyne and I'd be on my way, imagine the shock when they're pulling out my nerve) and so they're like "We're just going to take a few X-rays, la dee da" and then out of nowhere appears everyone's best friend, the huge-ass stainless steel freezing needle.
"Umm... can I get my X-rays taken without the freezing?"
"No. No X-rrrays witout freezing." (She had a bit of an accent.)
"Oh. Okay." She's the boss. I wasn't going to argue. But I was a little confused when they proceeded with the X-ray before the numbing juice had really set in, however I was delighted to see that the dentist was back and it was only 8:15, which meant I could go home and do my hair before class. Boy, was I mistaken.
He sat down, put on his mask, leaned towards me while rubbing his hands together in glee and announced: "And now, we wait."
Um. "What exactly is it we're waiting for...?" I glance around anxiously.
"The freezing to set in."
"...But you already took the X-rays!!"

Silly. You don't need freezing for X-rays! But you DO need it when they clamp a dam on your tooth, drill a hole in it and scrape out the insides. Which is precicely what they did to my tooth.

...Gross.
