Chronically Tired

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

NEW POV: You found a new, better place in the city and have since made better friends who have never made you feel unattractive or shitty!

Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit. 

also if they ARE trying to be healthy you should give it to them to!! Its not your decision to police or question others food choices!!! 

I have Celiac Disease, so I’m very gluten intolerant. When I go out to eat at restaurants a lot of people just assume that I asked for my food gluten free because of the gluten free diet fad (which is usually a bullshit diet btw). 

I cannot tolerate caffeine–it makes me have chest pain and a racing pulse, and also gives me horrible body pain, so I always ask for decaf if I order coffee when I’m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of saying “is this decaf like I asked for?” I always say “oh, did I remember to order decaf?” I shouldn’t have to act like I’m the forgetful one (because I know damn well I asked for decaf) but it seems to work better than implying that they screwed up when I take the blame on myself like that. and if there’s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them, “if there’s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me water–if this is regular, it’ll mess up my heart” and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one. 

I’ve reblogged this maaaany times before but there’s a few new stories on here so i’m doing it again.

Reblogging because it’s so important. I’m “lucky” I don’t have any food allergies or intolerence, but it makes me mad when people take them not seriously, think you are picky or just following a “white girl diet fad”.

Reblogging for all the stories here because this is sooo important! 

I’m allergic to pork. Legit allergic. I can’t count how many times I’ve had to ask it off my food only to receive it with bacon or ham or something on it.

I actually have customers who say they’ll only eat at my restaurant when I’m there, because they know I require all policy to be followed, as in “I will kick you the fuck off your shift if you skimp,” if someone says the words “I have an allergy.” I developed our allergy policies, for that matter, because what we had in place before was “I guess you shouldn’t change your gloves … . ?” On my shifts your gloves get changed, that line gets wiped down with a new cloth, paper under EVERY ITEM for the person with the allergy, bag their food separately to prevent contact. If there’s a risk of cross-contamination with an allergen, like tomatoes in the guac because stuff spills when you’re moving as fast as we do, I’ll open a new bag of food. I learned the ingredients in every item we serve so I could advise people on hidden allergens (e.g., there’s a small amount of wheat in our beef as a thickener; we fry with safflower oil). We have a grease pencil to mark special builds and I use it liberally on allergy orders. If all of this sounds like overkill, you’ve never watched a child suffer from anaphylaxis. I don’t play around.

Reblogging always. I especially hate that things that are legitimate concerns for people, EVEN LIFE AND DEATH SERIOUS, are taken as some kind of “fad” or “trend.” The benefit of a something becoming a trend is that it becomes more readily accessible.

I used to have a milk and eggs allergy as a child (as a baby to about kindergarten age). Both resulted in my having breathing issues and fainting. My parents had to always be watching what the hell went near me so that I wouldn’t have to go to the hospital because they weren’t sure what would happen when I fainted.

You know what’s funny?

Why go out of your way to interfere with someone’s order like that? It honestly sounds like jealousy and bitterness. It doesn’t matter if you think someone is skinny or they’re just taking part in another diet fad and they won’t notice, YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO SERVE THEM WHAT THEY ORDERED!

Honestly if you pull this kinda shit and the person you almost killed sues your fucking ass, I will have no sympathy.

also, dont fucking assume all skinny people are on a diet

as someone with celiac it is SO IMPORTANT that you give someone the order they asked for!! it could make them really sick!! if you want the logistics, someone with a disorder like mine would have issues absorbing the proper nutrients from food for the next few days!!!

also the “white skinny girls” doing the “fads” probably have eating disorders, or might be recovering from a surgery, or might be mentally ill so they can’t consume caffeine/salt/vinegar/sugar/etc due to it triggering somatic symptoms or interacting badly with treatment

also why someone

Adding my own story because I need something to be angry at. Was at the cinema with my dad. He asked for diet coke. Instead tho he got regular full sugar coke. We got through the film and he realised he was feeling sick. He checked his blood sugar which (in my country) shoildve been approx. 6-7 right? NOPE My dads blood sugar level was TWENTY FIVE.

yall how worth it is reading Percy Jackson? Like I get the gist. Half Bloods stay at CHB cause it's dangerous otherwise etcetc
