[QUOTE="richardinglis, post: 333790, member: 28515"] I haven't come across any really nasty incidents, I inject in the canteen at work in front of workmates who all know I inject and have done at many restaurants, although I do try to do it as discretely as possible as what we must all remember is that there are people out there who are needle phobic. I recently saw a woman openly inject herself in her arm with a lilly pen and no one even noticed, the waiter didn't say anything either and he was watching. we do need to be mindful of others feelings on seeing someone inject, but it shouldn't come directly from the staff. If someone complains then fair enough as far as I'm concerned, some people have severe needle phobias. I used to be one of them and I can tell you now, if i saw someone inject while eating I wouldn't have been able to finish my meal. I had to learn to get over it, as its only a small needle I'm pretty much OK with it now but it still makes me feel queasy from time to time. [/QUOTE]
