The party pooper diabetic!

[HOBIE]

I made the fatal mistake one year, when arriving at a friend's house on Boxing Day (the chaps were going to an Xmas clay shoot and they were doing lunch for all of em plus wives, but I didn't drive back then so I got dropped off earlier in the morning) and finding his mum still there - of saying Hi and introducing myself, then asking as you do, what I thought was the throwaway question of whether she'd had anything nice for Xmas?

I had the whole bloody list of what she'd had from whom and what she thought of it. I expect she could have told me what they must have paid for it too. I could hear the mate bloody well giggling in the kitchen - well it's true I had heard them moaning about her for a good many years so I spose I should have known, but come on, you're just being polite aren't you, you're not actually that interested, are you!

I reckon your woman and this one, are related Amigo !

They say at a dinner party one should never discuss politics or religion. I think it should go further. At any kind of party one should not discuss politics, religion or medical conditions.

 

[Rosiecarmel]

Why do people do that?

I remember once I went to dinner with my mum, we went to a Spanish tapas restaurant. The waitress asked if we had any allergies so I said yes, I have a very bad shellfish allergy so she went to get the allergy menu (very organised) and when she came back, my mother, very loudly, said "do you need to tell her you're diabetic Rosie??"

No mother, no I don't but thanks for telling the whole restaurant!

Unfortunately when in a party there are "agée" people the small tall tend to go on health and medications 🙂

I also work with a vegan who just talks about the benefits and how disgusting its is for people to eat meat etc ... I think its just an annoying facet of the human condition ...lol x

Yes, Vegans could be really obnoxious. They send every week another monster and you have to leave the farm to combat it with a big giant robot...

 

[Manda1]

I now realise that I may have caused offence so apologies to all the vegans out there that was not my intent ... Sometimes I find this forum a bit of a minefield ... May be its not for me xx

 

[MikeTurin]

I know a woman that is vegan, she a really smart collegue. She's never pushy on food arguments, and can cook well. Guess what? Nobody has a problem with her.
On the other hand I know some vegan "prima donna" that are ready every time to start a tirade if you're eating a piece of cheese. Normally I try to stay away from them....

I suppose that not all people here, being in UK, have had the childhood filled with japanese cartoons with giant robots, or with orphans 🙂

 

[Manda1]

I actually found it funny but then thought oh no perhaps I have caused offence x I don't know I guess I don't use the internet very often except Facebook and the odd email so I am not sure of the etiquette.... Lol x my bad x

 

[Manda1]

Plus being new to this diabetic lark I think I may be a bit of a bore about it too x haha x although I don't feign hypers or hypos like the lady in the original post x lol

Hi @Manda1 , please don't worry you have upset no one.

 

[Ralph-YK]

I'm aware of the robots. They're cool. And scary.

 

[Amigo]

Absolutely no need for anyone to feel offended or upset. It was meant to be light hearted and clearly we all know 'bores' of every description who feel passionately about something and just have to fill their and everybody else's waking moment with it....'did I ever show you all the cute photos of my grandchildren on my phone' being one of them! Lol

Now settle down whilst I regale you all with my medical history since 1973....photos and illustrations of operations to follow!

This will probably get me lynched by half the population but I definitely think it's a female thing discussing illnesses and ailments and the oneupwomanship of who's got the most/worst etc. In my experience you don't get a group of blokes stood around discussing stuff like that.

You haven't met my husband...no seriously. In our household the getting attention cos of ill health is deffo a male thing. I often add 'sympathy fatigue' to MY list of ailments.

Hi @Manda1 , please don't worry you have upset no one.

I could pretend to be upset, if you like?🙄🙂

We had someone at work who got a new Mercedes & insisted on showing everyone pics of it on his phone.🙄
