I'd like to hear this long story about why you didn't take it off/out sooner.
Earlier in the week, while I was visiting my dad, I scratched my back and there was a lump that hurt like hell. I reached back to feel it, and it felt strange, but I don't have eyes on the back of my head so I had no idea what it was. I ask my dad, who has poor vision and who always assumes nothing is ever wrong with anyone, if he could take a look and tell me what it looked like. This was a mistake, but hindsight is 20/20. He said it looked like it was just a scab and that I should leave it alone.
So I left it alone, despite increasing discomfort.
Finally, today I'm again over helping my parents out trying to set up this piece of crap BluRay player they got a few years ago and are only now trying to use (a quick search of the internet revealed that it's a faulty model and that everyone had returned it for a different model long ago, but that's a story for another time), and I scratch my back again, and I end up scratching the lump again and feeling the sharp pain, and so I get fed up and ask my dad to take another look and tell me what's going on back there (I mean I've had scabs before, and they don't usually hurt when you scratch them). He says it looks like it's still scabbed up, and my mother's comes over and says "Let me see... THAT'S NOT A SCAB, YOU STUPID ASS!" Cue the revelation that I've had a tick on my back for somewhere around half a week, and the subsequent removal.
Overall probably not an interesting story, but you asked, so yeah.
