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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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. FML
Today, I got excited when I learned that the fruit on the trees by my apartment building was ripe and free to pick. I picked myself some juicy summer plums and enjoyed them. Minutes later, my tongue started burning painfully. Turns out, I'm allergic to plums. FML

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

Stinks that they almost caused you to die. However it's not like they could have know about the Orange unless you told them beforehand

I'm sorry you had a reaction, but speaking from experience it might be wise to avoid eating certain restaunts you know are likely to have contaminates. I have shellfish allergies (anaphylactic shock reaction) and have learned its easier to avoid chinese restaunts all together, than to try to risk it, never fails something has been cross contaminated, especially. in small family run businesses.

Chinese places really are the worst if you have allergies, they tend to cook alot of the same things in the same pan or oil and they dont take substitutions well.

Is that why it tastes all the same?

Sure, 40, if you go to crappy Chinese buffet restaurants all the time.

I read this and all I could think is who gives someone an orange in that situation?!

I get you, OP. I'm allergic to gluten, and find it very difficult to eat at regular restaurants. As many people suggested, I often make my own food at home. Problem is, when I'm going out with friends, I don't have many options and cannot make sure the restaurant will respect my limitations. I'm glad you had your medication in hands.

Ok, here's the thing: Most Asian restaurants I've attended use eggs and different citrus fruits, why don't you make your own with less of the risk? You know what YOU'RE putting in you food, after all.

A similar thing has happened to my mum. Fyl Op. I wonder how it would have went down if you didn't have your meds?
