I wanted to share with you a story. This weekend I helped somebody move. Trying to be proactive, I packed a bag full of canned food and SF staples. This meant I packed heavy and needed a bag check. I also requested I be able to eat lunch and was snacking during the day.
Boy did I get a lot of grief. I was called a retard for packing so much stuff, and being "obsessed" with my stomach. I was told to just drive and not eat lunch, skip it. Worse, last night I asked to have dinner. I was told the only things that would be open would be fast food, and stated my concerns. I was told "Look you can't always at Morton's steak." Low and behold, I try to be a team player, I eat at Arby's, try, try to find something there, like the chicken roast sandwich. What do you know it contains dairy, and I am still paying for it.
Did you ever go through this ****? Amazing, huh? We are called "high maintenance" and made to feel like slackers for having the nerve to request lunch, dinner, and not go 6+ hours between food. We are also meant to feel like brats for not wanting fast food.
I'm curious if you have been through this and how you deal? I have gotten smarted and spoken up, yet still I ate an iffy place last night, giving into pressure, and am paying for it. What advice do you have when dealing in these situations. It gets frustrating dealing with people who see me as a slacker, high maintenance, food obsessed person. Makes me feel like I need to be a team player and I pay.
Please share your advice, your stories, so we can learn how to handle this better.
