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 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.

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

To all the people who said she almost died, taking an antihistamine is for mild allergies. Not all allergies are death sentences. I get severe stomach pain when i eat blueberries. Yes, it is an allergic reaction, no it wont kill me. Allergy scale goes from a 0(not allergic at all) to a 6(instant death) and i got that information from an astro-physicist who has a 5.6 allergy to fire ants.

Do you have Chinese before? You shouldn't order food prepared by others.

Sooooo, let me get this straight. People who have allergies should never go out? That's a bit short-sighted, isn't it?

noodles are made with eggs. maybe stick to indian instead of asian. or pick foods that you know are not made with egg. how about pizza? egg may be used in the production of the dough. so steamed rice for you,

Hi OP, im a chinese from Malaysia. We Chinese, practice giving oranges because of the symbolic reason. In Chinese, the meaning of orange literally meant "gold." So they really meant well when they offered u "gold" in hopes that they could make it up to u, in regards to their being careless. Nevertheless, i am sincerely sorry for the trauma u had been put through.
