Especially those that are supposed to be your friends!
I'm sorry to whine, but I just can't get this out of my head...
While I was out of town this weekend, I met up with a friend of mine that I hadn't seen since July of last year. We decided before I even left Iowa, that we were going to get some food and then go shopping Friday night and that we would meet at the restaurant. We went to Chipotle which is a fast food Mexican place that's very similar to Subway... you go in and stand at a counter and tell them specificly how you want your burrito, or whatever you're ordering. They normally put white rice in their burritos, but I wanted to be as safe as possible, so I ordered a side of rice as well. Well, the gal behind the counter could not understand why I was ordering rice on the side and I had to ask her 3 times... rice on the side please. Even though I was getting irritated, I continued to be as polite as I could. She gave me the durtiest look. 
Finally, as we were at the check out, I had my rice and commented to my friend that I felt that this gal was rude to me, and if looks could kill, I would have been dead on the floor... trying to be a little humerous about it. My friend looked me straight in the eyes, and with a really snotty tone, said "well, you DID ask a weird question", and then argued with me about it after we sat down!
This friend has NEVER been supportive about my IBS, so I'm not completely surprised at her comment, but for crying out loud!!!!!!!!! I just wish she would for once take my feelings into consideration and keep her trap shut!!!!!!! If it wasn't for the fact that we were supposed to go shopping and I was really looking forward to it, I would have left her sitting there. Instead I did my best to let it blow over and burried my face in my food! Unfortunately, now I'm looking back on it, and getting very angry and disappointed, and wishing I would have just left her sitting there. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Why do some people have to be so rude?!
