No, but I (and I imagine others do) value my health over other peoples view of my 'manners and social skills'. Like I said, I'll try to be descreet, but that's not always possible. It's not as if she asked you to inject her.
Yep, tool. 🙄
Absolutely not, I'm needle-phobic ever since I got a knife pushed right through the back of my hand. Can't ever watch a needle going in, can't even look at hyperdermics without feeling queasy.I'd explained this to her but she told me it was just because I wasn't used to it, then made a big song and dance about doing it in full view, drawing attention to herself in the process.
I excused myself - rather than be made to feel ill - and the date never really recovered. This resulted in her getting paralytic. The woman was a complete tool and is still single.
She was fit though, so I did the decent thing and knocked the back out of her.
Looks like there was more than one prick on that date then 😆 😉
Would a breast feeding woman feel comfortable if a man stared?
I think this attitude is symptomatic of a modern society where everyone is hell-bent on exercising their "rights" without a second thought to their responsibilities or other people's feelings.
I'm perfectly within my rights to defaecate in my own hand and smear it all over my face, but I wouldn't do it on a first date or in a busy restaurant.

No, [i]you[/i] made a big song and dance about it.
For future reference- avert your eyes, or if you're that squeamish, you politely leave the table, as it is you that has a problem.

Ironically, this is exactly what you're doing by making people with a medical issue feel like freaks. Why do you think you have a [i]right[/i] to object to someone else going about their life? What else should be shut away because it might be offensive to someone?

Pretty sure that would be covered under the public order act were you to do it in public, so no you aren't. Feel free to try though.
Do you have to do it multiple times a day, in order to stay alive? Again, feel free to do so.
Moron 🙄
edit: As this is just going to descend into a slanging match, I'm out. Have fun kids.
It's never crossed my mind that folk might be offended by diabetics injecting in public.
Are you sure she was paralytic? A hypo in some folk can appear the same.

Wrong. The overwhelming majority of people would rather not see someone injecting themselves whilst eating. Anybody with manners would have excused themselves and found a quiet area so as not to risk offending people they didn't know who were paying to enjoy a dining experience in pleasant surroundings.
Anyone that thinks otherwise is a complete moron and deserves the total lack of respect that I was kind enough to bestow on the young woman in question.
And no, her life did NOT depend on doing it there and then. 🙄
Are you sure she was paralytic?
2 gin and tonics washed down with a bottle of Pinot Noir, followed up with a large brandy... Yep, I'm quite certain she was paralytic. I was driving. 🙁
Shibboleth - MemberWrong. The overwhelming majority of people would rather not see someone injecting themselves whilst eating.
And can simply look somewhere else, [i]if[/i] they notice at all.
I appreciate that phobias are irrational and can be unpleasant so it's understandable that your reaction is also irrational and unpleasant, but your desire to not be offended is secondary to everyone else's right to go about their lives normally.

Deffo second date stuff that.
No surprise that after a during a date with someone displaying such selfish ignorance she decided to blank out reality with alcohol.
Was in a pub once and a woman nearby was changing a small child's nappy on a nearby table. That was a bit much.
Went elsewhere to eat.
If someone said "I'm phobic/squeamish about needles" it takes a bit of a twunt to inject in front of them IMO.

Very true. Does diabetes prevent people from sobering up for 2 days and heighten their sex drive? 😉
Allthepies - comment of the year so far! 😀
Come people, we're veering off-topic here. Happy to read another thread (or not) about the etiquette of injecting in a restaurant, but right here I want hilarious gossip about online dating since, as per the other thread, too many of us are having to live vicariously through threads like this one.
"the overwhelming majority" - really? Is this based on your own research?
Agree with nicko. Start a new topic but not on here
[i]It's never crossed my mind that folk might be offended by diabetics injecting in public.[/i]
So you're diabetic then?
My mate goes out of the office to the back room, when he needs to inject. I'm sure its never crossed his mind to inject in the staff restaurant.
[edit]yeah stop thiese people trying to show how modern and tolerant they are 🙂
This thread was funny till the wierdos arrived.
So it's fine to laugh AT the wierdo's, just not WITH them........ 😉
So you're diabetic then?
No??But this thread has gone way too far off track.
Can we get back on topic
hora - MemberCan we get back on topic
Quite.
So you were saying, it's cross-shaped??
Best read in ages.........
Met a doll from America who was over here at Uni. Went for a pizza.
I picked her up in my car and while eating the pizza I noticed she was eating with one hand, other hand under the table.
Turned out she had celebral palsy down one side.
She was a lovely girl until she wanted me to go to Florida with her to live (second date).
left her home and she gave me a thomas the tank on her sofa, blocked her on skype and never saw her again!
Its a jungle out there!
