I (33M) had my first colonoscopy this morning. I was super anxious, hadn’t eaten in 24 hours, and was already mentally checked out from reality.

When the nurse wheeled me into the pre-op area, she was very kind and professional. We chatted a bit and she said, “Don’t worry, you’ll be in good hands. I hope everything goes well and you get some rest after. Enjoy your colonoscopy!”

My dumbass, running on zero sleep and a gallon of Gatorade, just reflexively replied:

“You too.”

There was a beat of silence.

Then she laughed. I mean really laughed.

She had to stop pushing the bed for a second and wipe tears from her eyes. She said, “That’s a first. I’ll let the doctor know you want him to enjoy it, too.”

I was mortified. Still am. The anesthesiologist walked in shortly after and just said, “So I hear you’re a giver.”

TL;DR: Told the nurse “you too” after she wished me a good colonoscopy. She still laughed while I was being rolled into the OR.
