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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy to butter, she nonetheless put some on my baked potato. When I had her get me another, without butter, she came back with one and then asked if I would like butter with it. FML
Today, I went to the Cheesecake Factory and treated myself to an appetizer, an entree, a dessert, and some cocktails. The bill was higher than I expected and I was $50 short. I faked having a food allergy and had the staff call 911 so they could take me to the hospital, so I would get out of paying. It worked. FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I received a food delivery. The bag was huge. I thought the restaurant had made a mistake and given me extra food. I checked the receipt; it said, “Special note: For our hungriest customer. Extra napkins!” They'd remembered me from last time I ordered a ton of food. FML
Today, I had to go to the ER because of a terrible allergic reaction I had to the cookies my "friend" made for me. She assured me several times that there were no nuts in them. Turns out, she put nuts in them on purpose, to see whether or not I was really allergic. FML
Today, my family picked a place for my birthday dinner. They chose a seafood restaurant. I'm allergic. 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, 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 was so excited that my favorite local spot reopened, I couldn’t wait to go there for lunch. Unfortunately, my waiter’s shirt was so caked with thick smelly cat hair, it sent me into an immediate allergy attack. Not only did I not get to eat my food, the manager refused to give me a refund. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Idiots. The waiter should have taken off the first batch of bread from the bill and given you like a free desert or something. FYL OP.

Btw, they might not know it was the bread you can't handle, it could have been something you just do from time to time.. But I still can't figure out why you eat bread if you know that you shouldn't? Sounds more like you are stupid!

Food allergies can start at any time in life. Maybe they had no idea they were allergic, or maybe the bread had something in it they weren't aware of. Damn.

A lot of people here assume OP was aware of their allergy. Sometimes they develop and you don't know till you have a reaction. It could have been the particular kind of bread. Either way, it wasn't a smart desicion to send OP a basket of bread.

How were they supposed to know what you are allergic too. If anything you should be apologizing to the restaurant staff.

I'm pretty sure they didn't know they were allergic, or they wouldn't have eaten the bread. You can suddenly develop an allergy to something you've eaten your whole life.

It's pretty rare to develop an extremely violent allergic reaction though - and to...bread? Are we really to believe they never ate that until just then at the restaurant? Yeah, that doesn't fly. If they never noticed they were allergic before this, they're just a good candidate for a Darwin Award someday. The restaurant was probably pissed they were blaming them for their own stupidity.

it's not their fault that you ate the bread, they shouldn't have even had to say sorry, they prob gave you more bread cause you were blaming them.

I guess I just don't understand what the problem is. It's not the restaurants fault you're allergic to the bread, why should they apologize in the first place?
