Today, I was at the doctor's getting a check up. He asked me if I was allergic to anything, to which I blurted out, "Cats." He gave me a weird look and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you cats." FML

Today, I went to the doctor for allergy testing. Apparently, one of my worst allergies is cats. I'm a "crazy cat lady" who loves anything cat-related and has 3 cats. Allergy shots, here I come. FML
Today, I went to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. While I was there, I started to get really itchy. Turns out they have 5 cats. Guess what I'm allergic to? FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, I went to the allergist. I found out that I am allergic to dogs, cats, wool, fleece, and pet dander. I'm currently planning to go to school to become a veterinarian. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to find out why I've been feeling so sick the past several weeks. Turns out, I'm severely allergic to the cat of my girlfriend of two years. I told her "It's me or the cat." She chose the cat. FML
Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend to my house for the first time. He freaked out when he saw my cat, and had to leave because he's allergic. I've posted many pictures of my cat in Instagram, but he didn't say anything about his allergy because he thought it was just a random cat. FML
Today, after being diagnosed with cat allergies, I explained to my cat-loving boyfriend that the doctor strongly recommended not allowing the cat in the bedroom. At 1:30 a.m. my boyfriend got out of the bed to go sleep in the spare room because, "the cat is sad." FML
Today, I took my cat to the vet for a routine check-up. The vet asked if my cat was stressed at all, so I confidently replied, "No, he's a pretty chill little dude." That's when my cat decided to hiss and spit his way to the top of the shelves on the other side of the examination room. He's not as chill as I thought. FML
Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your doctor never gives cats? I would switch doctors. I have a whole litter after my last check up! :D

Lol his fault for not being specific. I would've said the same thing if I were allergic, too.

Well he did say, "anything". He should have said, "Are you allergic to any medication?". You were right to say cats in my opinion ;)

When I got my cartilage pierced, they asked me about any allergies so I put down cats since that's all I'm allergic to. They should be more specific if they want serious answers!

There is no need for the doctor to be more specific. It only takes a bit of common sense to realize what he is asking.

You should quickly add, "And semen!"

I've done this before as well. My doctor wasn't as witty as yours, though.

You were just answering the question he asked lol He should have been more specific.

Well, like the others said - he asked! He's the one with a medical degree, he should know to word his questions so he gets the answers he's looking for. You can't read his mind, he asked you a health-related question and you couldn't have known he was only interested in answers relating to things he might expose you to.

I ask patients all the time if they have any allergies to any medications that they are aware of. I still receive responses such as "apples, Tide laundry detergent, or Latex."
militarybrat 21
Latex i would count since it is used in medical practices. The other ones i would roll my eyes at lol

I work in a pharmacy haha. It was hard to try and not laugh at the "apples" answer.
catkat1988 17
Well, if you're asked by a pharmacist if you're allergic to any medications, and your answer is apples or laundry detergent, then you're stupid. That happens all the time, too. But I'd say that's way different from being asked by a doctor if you have any allergies - he might as well be trying to make a diagnosis or make sense of a larger picture related to your general health, so he might actually need to know if you have any allergies in general.

Hysterical!! I probably would have done the same thing. ._.

Just like many said and thought, he did ask what you were alergic to. His brain stopped working there for a moment, OP, don't worry about it.
