I'm not looking to discuss medical issues around diabetes. I'm well aware of its severity as I have few family members with the complaint. This afternoon I was sitting down having lunch in the local coffee shop. The place is packed. A stranger sits beside me, no problems there. They proceed to order food and again no problems. Once they didn't start talking to me I didn't care what they done. I was there simply escaping the office for an hour. However, next I see him shifting about and fishing something out of his pocket. He proceeds to take out a syringe and leave it within inches of my plate. The man clearly had diabetes. He continues by unbuttoning his shirt to administer the the medication by syringe into his abdominal. Myself and needles don't see eye to eve and of course I was considering the hygiene aspect of the situation. After he did what he did I asked him could he not have taken care of this somewhere else and not around food. The guy was completely miffed with me.
When I was leaving I mentioned it to the owner and she agreed with the other customer. She said she had absolutely no problems with what he was doing as it was medically related.
I was telling everybody back at the office, of course they all had a great laugh but thought I was in the wrong. I'm now feeling guilty that I peeved this man rightly off for the day!
PatrickJ V's the other customer. Who wins?
