Alarmed: did you know? When GiGi the horned owl sustained a near-fatal head injury, she was nursed back to health by Doug Pojeky at an animal rescue in Mississippi. He soon left town to visit family, but when he finally returned, she danced on his arm, put her head on his shoulder, and hugged him with her wings.

When Doug was growing up, a great horned owl used to perch on the top of his family barn. His father saw the owl often, but he and the rest of his family rarely did. However, on the morning of his fatherā€™s death, the owl was spotted overlooking the farm house, where Pojekyā€™s father had passed away, before flying off into the woods. ā€œFor some reason when that bird was hugging me, all I could think of was my dad.ā€ Source Source 2 no no no no no this owl is not a happy owl this owl is an injured, weak owl with a head injury this owl is not displaying appropriate owl behaviors and is ill-equipped for life as a wild owl. this owl should be trying to escape and/or murder this man because that is just what owls do, especially great horned owls apparently this owl got released which really alarmed me because either she made a miraculous recovery or she was completely not in any way ready for release and doesnā€™t have great chances of survival believe me, i wish owls were all cuddly sweethearts who gave hugs and appreciated our care but that is so very much not reality. even the sweetest owl i know - who is the light of my life and a joy to work with - likes to murder stuff and will hiss and threaten you if he doesnā€™t trust you or wants you to gtfo. and when i sayĀ ā€œsweetest owlā€ basically i just mean that heā€™s bonded to his two main trainers and is comfortable with us but if you ask anyone else heā€™s a grouchy old man with sharp talons. because heā€™s an owl. heā€™s not a snuggly pet. and heā€™s a 14-year-old captive-bred barn owl who has lived with humans and been an education bird his whole life, not a wild great horned owl who is clearly injured and having a shitty week of being grabbed and handled by giant mammals. this great horned owl is not a happy owl and it certainly isnā€™t feeling any sort of gratitude. mostly sheā€™s too sick/injured to have enough energy to defend herself or hold her wings up or keep her eyes open. when wild animals get released itā€™s nice to think that they are silently thanking us for saving them, but thatā€™s what we donā€™t want. we want them to be ready for life in the wild, which means we want them to hate us and want to avoid humans forever, because that gives them the best chance of survival. the best thanks you can get from a rehabilitated wild animal is when they fly/run/swim the fuck away from you as soon as you open the cage and never look back. those are the successes. I can preach what @talons-mcbeak said This owl obviously is not aware of anything that is going on and is showing signs of a very very serious head injury (trust me, Iā€™ve seen my fair share). You can see in the gif she attempted to bite him. She is just too weak and sick to be able to stop this person from manhandling her. This man is not handling this bird right at all, and wild great horned owls are never friendly. That owl should not be put into those positions or used to promote such a disgusting lie by a man who obviously doesnā€™t know what heā€™s doing. It is a wild animal not a domestic. Do not believe this bullshit story! This! This 100 times over! UGH. I keep seeing this owl picture and story passed around on Facebook, Tumblr, etc. with captions of ā€˜awwwwwā€™ and ā€˜Cute!ā€™ and so forth. No. Itā€™s not ā€˜cuteā€™. That owl is so unfit to be released and weak and probably in high states of stress. Anyone who knows the slightest thing about owl behaviour knows that this is not a ā€˜thankfulā€™ or ā€˜happy animalā€™. Owls canā€™t even feel any love-related emotions to humans. Period. Please share the truth about this story. The above two comments say a lot. :/ Shame on that ā€˜rehabberā€™ for passing on such false information and for treating that poor injured owl in such a way.

Alarmed: work theater ab a movie and when sklnny biEches order diet, coke.laive them regular. Wahahahaha pomrania: fibrochemist: iambloggingthat: tired-philosopher: prismatic-bell: trickstersgambit: greenteamoon: 40yodater: fiaspice: carnistprivilege: evilythedwarf: untapdtreasure: willowfae82: minnigem: iopele: obstinate-nocturna: sailornightfury: toboldlygowherethewinchestersare: classykatelyn: housebuiltbyghosts: kimchicutie: acorn-burglar: theforcekeepers: DO NOT DO THIS. This makes me so angry. If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you. My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic. When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die. If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded. Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing. Please signal boost this so people know. This also applies to baristas Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit.Ā  I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte. 5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the ā€œOh! time to poop!ā€ kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now Iā€™ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a ā€œpretentious white girl for wanting soyā€and so my friends got the manager. I had to explain that I had stomach ulcers that were still healing and if I were to go to the hospital for this incident, they would be responsible for it. Manager flipped his shit and the barista was terrified out of her mind. Pretty sure both thought i was gonna sue. Manager actually fired her on the spot because of the negligence. My friends managed to get me home in one piece while I stayed home for 3 days in absolute agony and missed my midterm. So remember kiddies, if someone is asking for Diet orĀ ā€œSkinnyā€ orĀ ā€œsoyā€ or anything that is not regular, give them what they requested because it may not be them being healthy, but a dietary need that can possibly be life or death 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!!!Ā  also im lactose intolerant AND ive had stomach infections/ulcers so i feel this.Ā  I have Celiac Disease, so Iā€™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).Ā  Last month I went out to dinner with a friend at an italian restaurant that had a small gluten free menu. I had been there once before and had their gluten free pasta and it was great! I think one of the managers had been there and was super helpful when taking my order to make sure that everything was gluten free for me. When I ordered the gluten free pasta again this time though, the waitress who took my order all but rolled her eyes at me. I didnā€™t think much of it at the time, because the restaurant was so accommodating before, I just assumed it would be the same this time. But sure enough, they brought out my pasta, I ate it, and about an hour later I had extreme stomach pains and was throwing up (in a movie theater no less). Barfing and agonizing pain aside, eating gluten when you have celiac causes a lot of internal damage thatā€™s hard to notice. The biggest thing is that it damages your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can take months to heal. So PLEASE, if you work at a restaurant or anything with food and someone asks for something a certain way, please listen to them and donā€™t just disregard someoneā€™s order. Itā€™s not funny and it can have serious consequences. I will reblog this with every single story about someone getting sick because of an asshole giving them the opposite of what they ordered until it sinks in for everyone. Recently on the news a 16 year old boy with a dairy allergy had gone to eat at IHOP with his family. The specifically asked if they could make dairy free pancakes and they said yes. Not too long after he had a reaction and was rushed to the hospital. This kid died because the was dairy in his pancakes that they asked for no dairy. His epi pen that his mother had wasnā€™t enough to help him. I know working in fast food or any job thatā€™s serves food and beverage sucks but not as much as causing someone to get sick over negligence. My youngest cousin ā€“ who is now five, he just started kindergarten ā€“ has Celiacā€™s disease. You would not BELEIVE the amount of times Iā€™ve heard my aunt say sheā€™s ordered something gluten free, only to watch the waiter or waitressā€™s eyes go huge when she gives it to my cousin ā€“ my cousin with the medical id band on his tiny five year old wrist proclaiming I HAVE CELIACS and have to take it back.Shit like this could kill my cousin. Knock it the fuck off. I cannot tolerate caffeineā€“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 Iā€™m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of sayingĀ ā€œis this decaf like I asked for?ā€ I always sayĀ ā€œoh, did I remember to order decaf?ā€ I shouldnā€™t have to act like Iā€™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 thereā€™s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them,Ā ā€œif thereā€™s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me waterā€“if this is regular, itā€™ll mess up my heartā€ and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one.Ā  but I shouldnā€™t HAVE to share my personal medical history with strangers just to get my order right! no one should! how is it their business? it makes me really uncomfortable to have to do that. JUST GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ORDER! Iā€™ve reblogged this maaaany times before but thereā€™s a few new stories on here so iā€™m doing it again. cut this shit out donā€™t be that kind of asshole. As a diabetic, this would make me so beyond angry. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t have a life threatening illness. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they can process sugar the way you do. People that do this are the worst kinds of people. DO NOT DO THIS! Me and my family went to a restaurant a few years back and one of the dishes we ordered was made with wine vinegar, which I am allergic to, so we asked the waiter to skip it, and he said sure, no problem, thatā€™s fine.So my food gets to the table, and I start eating and then my throat closes and I canā€™t breathe and then I start coughing and throwing up right there in the middle of the restaurant and it was very fortunate that I was with my family and they knew what was happening to me. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and admitted, and I came damn near close to having my throat cut open so I could breathe through a whole on my neck. Because they put wine vinegar in my food when I explicitly told them not to, because they were assholes, and I could have died.They probably didnā€™t mean to hurt me but they did. I missed class, and work, and, again, I COULD HAVE DIED. i have cyclic vomiting syndrome and canā€™t tolerate dairy or red meat. violating my dietary restrictions triggers an acute episode, and i have to be hospitalized and given iv saline, ativan, and anti-emetics to stop the (extremely painful and incapacitating) vomiting. if somebody put regular milk instead of soy milk in my latte and i didnā€™t notice the taste immediately, i could wind up in the er and then spend several days in bed recovering, eating nothing but saltines and dry toast and clear liquids until my body was able to tolerate food again, unable to work or go out or do anything besides rest. whenever i go to starbucks, i WATCH them make my drink. cvs episodes are horrible and i hate them, and i can prevent them if i do everything right, but that means my damn barista has to cooperate. if somebody decided i was a stuck up white girl and gave me whole milk instead of soy they could put me in the hospital and cost me days of income. give ppl the food they fuckin order. itā€™s not that hard. Reblogging because itā€™s so important. Iā€™m ā€œluckyā€ I donā€™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 ā€œwhite girl diet fadā€. 90% of people donā€™t take my cats and dog allergies seriously when I tell them Iā€™m allergic and wondering if a cat or a dog is present at X place. They think itā€™s just watery eyes. Nope. Well yeah, watery and itchy eyes, but I start wo wheeze and have trouble breathing. They donā€™t give epi-pen for those (anyway you have to go to the hospital after) just inhaler. Itā€™s no miracle, specially if I didnā€™t take other meds before. When people tell you about their allergies or restriction, trust them! Reblogging for all the stories here because this is sooo important!Ā  I have a severe allergy to gluten and relate to MANY of the stories above. My daughter has a severe allergy to milk fat, and I have had to hold her hair many times while she vomits on the side of the road because we couldnā€™t even make it home from theĀ ā€œaccidentalā€ whole milk instead of skim.Ā  Iā€™m super lactose intolerant so accidental milk is always fun. Severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, and gas like you wouldnā€™t believe. Better than death you might say but, I have other medical conditions, so that diarrhea could lead to vomiting(itā€™s so bad the vomit comes out my mouth AND nose) and dehydration that in turn becomes low cortisol and adrenal crisis. A bitchy barista can land me in the hospital with an intramuscular shot and saline iv. Hun, it takes no time to listen and follow my order. It takes me at least 24 hours to get out of the hospital. Be nice. Iā€™m allergic to pork. Legit allergic. I canā€™t count how many times Iā€™ve had to ask it off my food only to receive it with bacon or ham or something on it. Please respect peoples food requests. It costs 0.00$ to not be a dick. I actually have customers who say theyā€™ll only eat at my restaurant when Iā€™m there, because they know I require all policy to be followed, as inĀ ā€œI will kick you the fuck off your shift if you skimp,ā€ if someone says the words ā€œI have an allergy.ā€ I developed our allergy policies, for that matter, because what we had in place before wasĀ ā€œI guess you shouldnā€™t change your gloves ā€¦ . ?ā€ 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 thereā€™s a risk of cross-contamination with an allergen, like tomatoes in the guac because stuff spills when youā€™re moving as fast as we do, Iā€™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., thereā€™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, youā€™ve never watched a child suffer from anaphylaxis. I donā€™t play around. Like, I bitch about my job a lot, but food allergies and special needs are not something I will ever bitch about. Even if youā€™re a complete asshole I wonā€™t risk contaminating your food. (Although people with allergies seem to be way nicer than the general population, I gotta say.) Donā€™t do it. If someoneā€™s a petty asshole to you, give them too much ice in their drink. Donā€™t play with their health. DO NOT FUCKING SCROLL PAST THIS P L E A S E Reblogging this again because it is important. Doing the right thing has no cost but doing the wrong thing can cost a personā€™s life. Donā€™t be a dick, give the person what they ordered This is why turning legitimate illness into fad is stupid! Youā€™re fucking killing people. Just donā€™t be a dick. Seriously, if you hate a customer, just badmouth them once theyā€™re gone, or give them the finger under the counter; youā€™ll get just as much satisfaction, and you wonā€™t run the risk of accidentally killing someone.

I cannot tolerate caffeineā€“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 Iā€™m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of sayingĀ ā€œis this decaf like I asked for?ā€ I always sayĀ ā€œoh, did I remember to order decaf?ā€ I shouldnā€™t have to act like Iā€™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 thereā€™s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them,Ā ā€œif thereā€™s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me waterā€“if this is regular, itā€™ll mess up my heartā€ and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one.Ā  but I shouldnā€™t HAVE to share my personal medical history with strangers just to get my order right! no one should! how is it their business? it makes me really uncomfortable to have to do that. JUST GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ORDER! Iā€™ve reblogged this maaaany times before but thereā€™s a few new stories on here so iā€™m doing it again. cut this shit out donā€™t be that kind of asshole. As a diabetic, this would make me so beyond angry. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t have a life threatening illness. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they can process sugar the way you do. People that do this are the worst kinds of people. DO NOT DO THIS! Me and my family went to a restaurant a few years back and one of the dishes we ordered was made with wine vinegar, which I am allergic to, so we asked the waiter to skip it, and he said sure, no problem, thatā€™s fine.So my food gets to the table, and I start eating and then my throat closes and I canā€™t breathe and then I start coughing and throwing up right there in the middle of the restaurant and it was very fortunate that I was with my family and they knew what was happening to me. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and admitted, and I came damn near close to having my throat cut open so I could breathe through a whole on my neck. Because they put wine vinegar in my food when I explicitly told them not to, because they were assholes, and I could have died.They probably didnā€™t mean to hurt me but they did. I missed class, and work, and, again, I COULD HAVE DIED. i have cyclic vomiting syndrome and canā€™t tolerate dairy or red meat. violating my dietary restrictions triggers an acute episode, and i have to be hospitalized and given iv saline, ativan, and anti-emetics to stop the (extremely painful and incapacitating) vomiting. if somebody put regular milk instead of soy milk in my latte and i didnā€™t notice the taste immediately, i could wind up in the er and then spend several days in bed recovering, eating nothing but saltines and dry toast and clear liquids until my body was able to tolerate food again, unable to work or go out or do anything besides rest. whenever i go to starbucks, i WATCH them make my drink. cvs episodes are horrible and i hate them, and i can prevent them if i do everything right, but that means my damn barista has to cooperate. if somebody decided i was a stuck up white girl and gave me whole milk instead of soy they could put me in the hospital and cost me days of income. give ppl the food they fuckin order. itā€™s not that hard. Reblogging because itā€™s so important. Iā€™m ā€œluckyā€ I donā€™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 ā€œwhite girl diet fadā€. 90% of people donā€™t take my cats and dog allergies seriously when I tell them Iā€™m allergic and wondering if a cat or a dog is present at X place. They think itā€™s just watery eyes. Nope. Well yeah, watery and itchy eyes, but I start wo wheeze and have trouble breathing. They donā€™t give epi-pen for those (anyway you have to go to the hospital after) just inhaler. Itā€™s no miracle, specially if I didnā€™t take other meds before. When people tell you about their allergies or restriction, trust them! Reblogging for all the stories here because this is sooo important!Ā  I have a severe allergy to gluten and relate to MANY of the stories above. My daughter has a severe allergy to milk fat, and I have had to hold her hair many times while she vomits on the side of the road because we couldnā€™t even make it home from theĀ ā€œaccidentalā€ whole milk instead of skim.Ā  Iā€™m super lactose intolerant so accidental milk is always fun. Severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, and gas like you wouldnā€™t believe. Better than death you might say but, I have other medical conditions, so that diarrhea could lead to vomiting(itā€™s so bad the vomit comes out my mouth AND nose) and dehydration that in turn becomes low cortisol and adrenal crisis. A bitchy barista can land me in the hospital with an intramuscular shot and saline iv. Hun, it takes no time to listen and follow my order. It takes me at least 24 hours to get out of the hospital. Be nice. Iā€™m allergic to pork. Legit allergic. I canā€™t count how many times Iā€™ve had to ask it off my food only to receive it with bacon or ham or something on it. Please respect peoples food requests. It costs 0.00$ to not be a dick. I actually have customers who say theyā€™ll only eat at my restaurant when Iā€™m there, because they know I require all policy to be followed, as inĀ ā€œI will kick you the fuck off your shift if you skimp,ā€ if someone says the words ā€œI have an allergy.ā€ I developed our allergy policies, for that matter, because what we had in place before wasĀ ā€œI guess you shouldnā€™t change your gloves ā€¦ . ?ā€ 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 thereā€™s a risk of cross-contamination with an allergen, like tomatoes in the guac because stuff spills when youā€™re moving as fast as we do, Iā€™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., thereā€™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, youā€™ve never watched a child suffer from anaphylaxis. I donā€™t play around. Like, I bitch about my job a lot, but food allergies and special needs are not something I will ever bitch about. Even if youā€™re a complete asshole I wonā€™t risk contaminating your food. (Although people with allergies seem to be way nicer than the general population, I gotta say.) Donā€™t do it. If someoneā€™s a petty asshole to you, give them too much ice in their drink. Donā€™t play with their health. DO NOT FUCKING SCROLL PAST THIS P L E A S E Reblogging this again because it is important. Doing the right thing has no cost but doing the wrong thing can cost a personā€™s life. Donā€™t be a dick, give the person what they ordered This is why turning legitimate illness into fad is stupid! Youā€™re fucking killing people. Just donā€™t be a dick. Seriously, if you hate a customer, just badmouth them once theyā€™re gone, or give them the finger under the counter; youā€™ll get just as much satisfaction, and you wonā€™t run the risk of accidentally killing someone.

Alarmed: work theater ab a movie and when sklnny biEches order diet, coke.laive them regular. Wahahahaha youcannotbesirius: flufferanian: iambloggingthat: tired-philosopher: prismatic-bell: trickstersgambit: greenteamoon: 40yodater: fiaspice: carnistprivilege: evilythedwarf: untapdtreasure: willowfae82: minnigem: iopele: obstinate-nocturna: sailornightfury: toboldlygowherethewinchestersare: classykatelyn: housebuiltbyghosts: kimchicutie: acorn-burglar: theforcekeepers: DO NOT DO THIS. This makes me so angry. If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you. My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic. When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die. If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded. Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing. Please signal boost this so people know. This also applies to baristas Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit.Ā  I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte. 5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the ā€œOh! time to poop!ā€ kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now Iā€™ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a ā€œpretentious white girl for wanting soyā€and so my friends got the manager. I had to explain that I had stomach ulcers that were still healing and if I were to go to the hospital for this incident, they would be responsible for it. Manager flipped his shit and the barista was terrified out of her mind. Pretty sure both thought i was gonna sue. Manager actually fired her on the spot because of the negligence. My friends managed to get me home in one piece while I stayed home for 3 days in absolute agony and missed my midterm. So remember kiddies, if someone is asking for Diet orĀ ā€œSkinnyā€ orĀ ā€œsoyā€ or anything that is not regular, give them what they requested because it may not be them being healthy, but a dietary need that can possibly be life or death 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!!!Ā  also im lactose intolerant AND ive had stomach infections/ulcers so i feel this.Ā  I have Celiac Disease, so Iā€™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).Ā  Last month I went out to dinner with a friend at an italian restaurant that had a small gluten free menu. I had been there once before and had their gluten free pasta and it was great! I think one of the managers had been there and was super helpful when taking my order to make sure that everything was gluten free for me. When I ordered the gluten free pasta again this time though, the waitress who took my order all but rolled her eyes at me. I didnā€™t think much of it at the time, because the restaurant was so accommodating before, I just assumed it would be the same this time. But sure enough, they brought out my pasta, I ate it, and about an hour later I had extreme stomach pains and was throwing up (in a movie theater no less). Barfing and agonizing pain aside, eating gluten when you have celiac causes a lot of internal damage thatā€™s hard to notice. The biggest thing is that it damages your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can take months to heal. So PLEASE, if you work at a restaurant or anything with food and someone asks for something a certain way, please listen to them and donā€™t just disregard someoneā€™s order. Itā€™s not funny and it can have serious consequences. I will reblog this with every single story about someone getting sick because of an asshole giving them the opposite of what they ordered until it sinks in for everyone. Recently on the news a 16 year old boy with a dairy allergy had gone to eat at IHOP with his family. The specifically asked if they could make dairy free pancakes and they said yes. Not too long after he had a reaction and was rushed to the hospital. This kid died because the was dairy in his pancakes that they asked for no dairy. His epi pen that his mother had wasnā€™t enough to help him. I know working in fast food or any job thatā€™s serves food and beverage sucks but not as much as causing someone to get sick over negligence. My youngest cousin ā€“ who is now five, he just started kindergarten ā€“ has Celiacā€™s disease. You would not BELEIVE the amount of times Iā€™ve heard my aunt say sheā€™s ordered something gluten free, only to watch the waiter or waitressā€™s eyes go huge when she gives it to my cousin ā€“ my cousin with the medical id band on his tiny five year old wrist proclaiming I HAVE CELIACS and have to take it back.Shit like this could kill my cousin.

Wahahahaha youcannotbesirius: flufferanian: iambloggingthat: tired-philosopher: prismatic-bell: trickstersgambit: greenteamoon: 40yodater: fiaspice: carnistprivilege: evilythedwarf: untapdtreasure: willowfae82: minnigem: iopele: obstinate-nocturna: sailornightfury: toboldlygowherethewinchestersare: classykatelyn: housebuiltbyghosts: kimchicutie: acorn-burglar: theforcekeepers: DO NOT DO THIS. This makes me so angry. If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you. My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic. When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die. If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded. Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing. Please signal boost this so people know. This also applies to baristas Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit.Ā  I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte. 5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the ā€œOh! time to poop!ā€ kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now Iā€™ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a ā€œpretentious white girl for wanting soyā€and so my friends got the manager. I had to explain that I had stomach ulcers that were still healing and if I were to go to the hospital for this incident, they would be responsible for it. Manager flipped his shit and the barista was terrified out of her mind. Pretty sure both thought i was gonna sue. Manager actually fired her on the spot because of the negligence. My friends managed to get me home in one piece while I stayed home for 3 days in absolute agony and missed my midterm. So remember kiddies, if someone is asking for Diet orĀ ā€œSkinnyā€ orĀ ā€œsoyā€ or anything that is not regular, give them what they requested because it may not be them being healthy, but a dietary need that can possibly be life or death 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!!!Ā  also im lactose intolerant AND ive had stomach infections/ulcers so i feel this.Ā  I have Celiac Disease, so Iā€™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).Ā  Last month I went out to dinner with a friend at an italian restaurant that had a small gluten free menu. I had been there once before and had their gluten free pasta and it was great! I think one of the managers had been there and was super helpful when taking my order to make sure that everything was gluten free for me. When I ordered the gluten free pasta again this time though, the waitress who took my order all but rolled her eyes at me. I didnā€™t think much of it at the time, because the restaurant was so accommodating before, I just assumed it would be the same this time. But sure enough, they brought out my pasta, I ate it, and about an hour later I had extreme stomach pains and was throwing up (in a movie theater no less). Barfing and agonizing pain aside, eating gluten when you have celiac causes a lot of internal damage thatā€™s hard to notice. The biggest thing is that it damages your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can take months to heal. So PLEASE, if you work at a restaurant or anything with food and someone asks for something a certain way, please listen to them and donā€™t just disregard someoneā€™s order. Itā€™s not funny and it can have serious consequences. I will reblog this with every single story about someone getting sick because of an asshole giving them the opposite of what they ordered until it sinks in for everyone. Recently on the news a 16 year old boy with a dairy allergy had gone to eat at IHOP with his family. The specifically asked if they could make dairy free pancakes and they said yes. Not too long after he had a reaction and was rushed to the hospital. This kid died because the was dairy in his pancakes that they asked for no dairy. His epi pen that his mother had wasnā€™t enough to help him. I know working in fast food or any job thatā€™s serves food and beverage sucks but not as much as causing someone to get sick over negligence. My youngest cousin ā€“ who is now five, he just started kindergarten ā€“ has Celiacā€™s disease. You would not BELEIVE the amount of times Iā€™ve heard my aunt say sheā€™s ordered something gluten free, only to watch the waiter or waitressā€™s eyes go huge when she gives it to my cousin ā€“ my cousin with the medical id band on his tiny five year old wrist proclaiming I HAVE CELIACS and have to take it back.Shit like this could kill my cousin. Knock it the fuck off. I cannot tolerate caffeineā€“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 Iā€™m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of sayingĀ ā€œis this decaf like I asked for?ā€ I always sayĀ ā€œoh, did I remember to order decaf?ā€ I shouldnā€™t have to act like Iā€™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 thereā€™s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them,Ā ā€œif thereā€™s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me waterā€“if this is regular, itā€™ll mess up my heartā€ and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one.Ā  but I shouldnā€™t HAVE to share my personal medical history with strangers just to get my order right! no one should! how is it their business? it makes me really uncomfortable to have to do that. JUST GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ORDER! Iā€™ve reblogged this maaaany times before but thereā€™s a few new stories on here so iā€™m doing it again. cut this shit out donā€™t be that kind of asshole. As a diabetic, this would make me so beyond angry. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t have a life threatening illness. Skinny doesnā€™t mean they can process sugar the way you do. People that do this are the worst kinds of people. DO NOT DO THIS! Me and my family went to a restaurant a few years back and one of the dishes we ordered was made with wine vinegar, which I am allergic to, so we asked the waiter to skip it, and he said sure, no problem, thatā€™s fine.So my food gets to the table, and I start eating and then my throat closes and I canā€™t breathe and then I start coughing and throwing up right there in the middle of the restaurant and it was very fortunate that I was with my family and they knew what was happening to me. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and admitted, and I came damn near close to having my throat cut open so I could breathe through a whole on my neck. Because they put wine vinegar in my food when I explicitly told them not to, because they were assholes, and I could have died.They probably didnā€™t mean to hurt me but they did. I missed class, and work, and, again, I COULD HAVE DIED. i have cyclic vomiting syndrome and canā€™t tolerate dairy or red meat. violating my dietary restrictions triggers an acute episode, and i have to be hospitalized and given iv saline, ativan, and anti-emetics to stop the (extremely painful and incapacitating) vomiting. if somebody put regular milk instead of soy milk in my latte and i didnā€™t notice the taste immediately, i could wind up in the er and then spend several days in bed recovering, eating nothing but saltines and dry toast and clear liquids until my body was able to tolerate food again, unable to work or go out or do anything besides rest. whenever i go to starbucks, i WATCH them make my drink. cvs episodes are horrible and i hate them, and i can prevent them if i do everything right, but that means my damn barista has to cooperate. if somebody decided i was a stuck up white girl and gave me whole milk instead of soy they could put me in the hospital and cost me days of income. give ppl the food they fuckin order. itā€™s not that hard. Reblogging because itā€™s so important. Iā€™m ā€œluckyā€ I donā€™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 ā€œwhite girl diet fadā€. 90% of people donā€™t take my cats and dog allergies seriously when I tell them Iā€™m allergic and wondering if a cat or a dog is present at X place. They think itā€™s just watery eyes. Nope. Well yeah, watery and itchy eyes, but I start wo wheeze and have trouble breathing. They donā€™t give epi-pen for those (anyway you have to go to the hospital after) just inhaler. Itā€™s no miracle, specially if I didnā€™t take other meds before. When people tell you about their allergies or restriction, trust them! Reblogging for all the stories here because this is sooo important!Ā  I have a severe allergy to gluten and relate to MANY of the stories above. My daughter has a severe allergy to milk fat, and I have had to hold her hair many times while she vomits on the side of the road because we couldnā€™t even make it home from theĀ ā€œaccidentalā€ whole milk instead of skim.Ā  Iā€™m super lactose intolerant so accidental milk is always fun. Severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, and gas like you wouldnā€™t believe. Better than death you might say but, I have other medical conditions, so that diarrhea could lead to vomiting(itā€™s so bad the vomit comes out my mouth AND nose) and dehydration that in turn becomes low cortisol and adrenal crisis. A bitchy barista can land me in the hospital with an intramuscular shot and saline iv. Hun, it takes no time to listen and follow my order. It takes me at least 24 hours to get out of the hospital. Be nice. Iā€™m allergic to pork. Legit allergic. I canā€™t count how many times Iā€™ve had to ask it off my food only to receive it with bacon or ham or something on it. Please respect peoples food requests. It costs 0.00$ to not be a dick. I actually have customers who say theyā€™ll only eat at my restaurant when Iā€™m there, because they know I require all policy to be followed, as inĀ ā€œI will kick you the fuck off your shift if you skimp,ā€ if someone says the words ā€œI have an allergy.ā€ I developed our allergy policies, for that matter, because what we had in place before wasĀ ā€œI guess you shouldnā€™t change your gloves ā€¦ . ?ā€ 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 thereā€™s a risk of cross-contamination with an allergen, like tomatoes in the guac because stuff spills when youā€™re moving as fast as we do, Iā€™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., thereā€™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, youā€™ve never watched a child suffer from anaphylaxis. I donā€™t play around. Like, I bitch about my job a lot, but food allergies and special needs are not something I will ever bitch about. Even if youā€™re a complete asshole I wonā€™t risk contaminating your food. (Although people with allergies seem to be way nicer than the general population, I gotta say.) Donā€™t do it. If someoneā€™s a petty asshole to you, give them too much ice in their drink. Donā€™t play with their health. DO NOT FUCKING SCROLL PAST THIS P L E A S E Reblogging this again because it is important. Doing the right thing has no cost but doing the wrong thing can cost a personā€™s life. Donā€™t be a dick, give the person what they ordered reblogging bc that is not only hurtful but also stereotypical towards white women, even if said person is an asshole. My dad is allergic to dairy, if he gets any heā€™s miserable for hours because of the shit it does to his digestive system.
