Re: Back to school - don't bring peanuts
The strong smell of peanut butter causes me to throw up (for real, projectile). People are far more concerned about me throwing up on them than that they may cause me to die of anaphylactic shock.

Its absolute bollocks. How many kids have allergies to plenty of other things? Can i get the school to send out notices saying don't send your kids to school with my list of health related demands?
My kids will be sent in with their favourite peanut butter sarnies for lunch. Tastes good, high in protein lower in carbs and they do not require refrigeration.
But how long before "please" becomes "do" followed by prosecution?

Microwave popcorn really has to be the worst. Especially when people make it in the workplace.

As an aside, I've viewed it at least 10 times myself.

Sometimes I just don't know what's wrong with people.
