"When you've got time, can you........." (the implication being that I've got nothing but time)

"Sharp scratch" (venepuncture time)

"This might sting a bit" (any medical/dental procedure)

"I've been thinking..."

"it'll be all-right"

By way of context, it took me a little while to realise that nearly every time I'd hurt myself or broken something expensive , that little phrase had run through my mind beforehand. I now treat it as a warning and have another think before acting. I was already reasonably OK on "what happens if?" but needed to make sure I did actually address the "what" rather than believing "it'll be all right"
