Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML
Today, while at work, I suddenly went into diabetic shock. As I was nearly passed out on the floor, a customer yelled at me for not getting his coffee in time. FML
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Today, I was proud of myself for buying the lowest calorie option at a Subway that I could walk to. By the time I managed to get there my blood sugar severely crashed (it didn't help that two people in front of me were ordering subs for their family and coworkers). I ended up buying six cookies to stave off the crash. FML
Today, I took a test as part of a job requirement. I took a sip from a bottle of juice, and the lady leading the test gave me a warning. I tried to explain that if I didn't, I would faint. She took the bottle and hid it. 15 minutes later I collapsed. She thought I was faking. I'm hypoglycemic. FML
Today, after a very long day, I got home from the swimming pool at 10:30 pm. I didn’t have dinner, I was super hungry, so I ordered a pizza while walking back home. 35 minutes later, only a can of coke arrived. Apparently, I that's all I actually ordered. FML
Today, due to increasing frequency and severity of hypoglycemic symptoms, I went to the doctor. Apparently, the pill may have given me a rare form of temporary diabetes. She wants me to be a case study for the next 12 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Also, if the customer asks for diet soda, it's the employee's job to deliver this order, so they don't deserve it.

You are going to bet your life on some fast food place not mixing up two drinks that even you can't tell apart? Yeah, sue them for violating your constitutional right to get a diet beverage of your choice.

I say YDI. You knew you were diabetic, and chose fast food which is FULL of carbs and sugars. If you had decided to make the right choices in your diet (there are many things to eat on the go that are diabetic friendly) you could have avoided a possible spike in your blood sugar levels completely. Choose wisely next time.

Depends on the place, not just the franchise. I've been to a couple McDonald's where they fill them for you. One Burger King And a Jack in the Box. But I'm pretty sure the Wendy's I drive by(don't eat there) fills it for you, but they have a machine to for refills.

Uh, you do realize it's easy to tell the difference between diet and regular, right??

It's your responsibility to taste the difference on the first sip and not finish it. (Not to mention the fact that there are enough questions about the chemistry and appetite effect of that stuff that you should switch to water.)
