Health: Today, I ordered Chinese and told them I was allergic to eggs....

Today, I ordered Chinese and told them I was allergic to eggs. I took a bite and I found some egg, quickly spat it out and took my antihistamines. When I returned with it and complained about my potential demise, they gave me a free orange to apologise. I'm allergic to oranges. FML

Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML

Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML

Today, I had a violent allergic reaction to some bread I ate at a restaurant. How did they apologize? By sending me a free basket of bread. FML

Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML

Today, my aunt asked me to babysit my cousin. She gave me a warning that he says he's allergic to foods to get out of eating them. When I brought out my homemade cooking, he told me he was allergic, so I made him eat it anyway. Turns out he WAS allergic. FML

Today, after a really bad day, I just wanted to order DoorDash. When my food came, I saw my burger had tomatoes in it, despite requesting no tomatoes. I’m deathly allergic. FML

Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML

Today, I woke up and poured myself a large glass of orange juice from a carton and took a big gulp only to realize it was liquid eggs. FML

Today, I got a client who ordered ice cream. She seemed really nice and I thought maybe she was into me. When I asked if she wanted peanuts for an additional 50 cents, she said no. Trying to be nice, I added them anyway free of charge. I later had to call the ambulance. She was allergic. FML

Today, I went to get food. I was late so my friend ordered for me. I took a few bites and all of a sudden it got hard to breathe. I realized it was a blueberry muffin, and I'm deathly allergic to blueberries. I looked at my friend, and she was laughing, saying she wanted to see if it was true. I just got out of the hospital.

They only gave you a free orange for almost killing you? They may as well have given you an extra fortune cookie

I guess ignorance is the way to go for the eatery owners.

They gave you orange after you almost died then give you orange and try and kill you again? They should have gave you a refund.

"Oh, yeeessss. Here comes that guy… Yes, the guy we've never met before. He's no regular. I'm certain that he has at least two food allergies we could take advantage of. Yeeeesss… Surely he would be allergic to eggs. Eggs and citrus! Yes!" Get real.

Perhaps the orange was a cultural thing? One of my mom's friends is from China and I think I remember her telling us something about oranges being a symbol of good fortune or something, so maybe they gave you the orange as an apology and a wish for better fortune later in your life. I don't know for sure, I'm just trying to give the benefit of the doubt here. Sucks about your allergies though, I agree with what others have said: Learn to make your own Asian dishes, that way you can be absolutely sure nothing will get into them that can harm you.
