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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while fasting for a medical test, my blood sugar became so low that I had heart palpitations and passed out. My doctor's advice? Fast, so he can run more tests. 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
Today, I was working as a stagehand for one of my college classes. I’m diabetic and can’t go without food for more than a few hours. I was told that if I left early, ate anything backstage, or passed out, I would fail the class. I passed out. 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, while at work I passed out due to my blood sugar not being normal. Despite the fact that it took 10 minutes to wake me, no one thought I was in any sort of danger. After the episode, I then got fired for "sleeping on the job." FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, I had to take a drug test for a new job. I ended up spilling the cup of piss all over myself. I had to explain what had happened, then go sit in a waiting room full of disgusted-looking people, while I kept drinking water to fill my bladder back up. FML
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
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 pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow. One on hand, you really should have said "I'm hypoglycemic," instead of just saying that you would faint. But on the other.. Taking juice away on a job test from somebody that claims that they'd faint... She should be getting in trouble for that. Hope you got the job!

I'm pretty sure what she did was illegal. Its just like taking someone's high blood pressure medicine and they have a heart attack, or taking an old man's cane and he falls and injures himself. Its all the same thing really.

#20, stop it. No one is going to mention your number because they agree. They'll only mention it because like #86 said, you're extremely annoying and no one likes you. Maybe the OP did say they were hypoglycemic and the lady didn't believe them. They did say they "tried to explain", so that probably means they mentioned hypoglycemia in there somewhere.

What a bitch.. I know what you mean. My mom, sister, and I are all hypoglycemic as well so we have to eat and drink at certain times to. We can tell when we need to eat and drink something or else we'll go into hypoglycemic shock.. That's just ****** up. She should get written up for that. You have a medical reason for having a drink with you so that you don't pass out and they can't tell you can't have it if there is a medical reason behind it.

YDI for letting her take the bottle. Shouldn't you have some medical card or something saying your problem in the event you did faint someplace

ok even if she did say she was hypoglycemic the proctor may not have believed her anyway. the proctor didn't believe her about the fainting so to all of those saying she should have told... who says they would believe her anyway?

Ugh that sucks. I had a surgery a couple years ago and couldn't do P.E. in school. I know how it feels to not want to explain medical conditions to people who don't know you very well (in my case the teachers). It's not anyone's business! Why would someone lie just to have juice in a test anyway? Sounds like the proctor was just power hungry.
