Strange Reaction to Type 1s, a funny story

[Emmotha]

So, this morning I experienced the biggest reaction to being Type 1 yet.

I get the bus to work, and I’m that person that if a drunk / crazy person gets on the bus they always sit next to me. At 8am this morning I’m sat quietly on the bus and a drunk man (yes at 8am) gets on, he’s well known in the area, completely harmless but a bit of a nuisance. He starts to chat to me so I engage in the conversation, he’s quite a lonely guy. Then he says “why don’t you come round my house for a drink”… The first thing I thought of to say was “I don’t drink, I’m diabetic” Then he says “me too, I’m a type 2”, so I say “I’m Type 1”.
Then, he literally screams “AAAARGHHHHH TYPE 1! ARRRRRGH” [Awkward silence as everyone on the bus looks over] “AAAAAAARGHHHHHHH. That means you have to inject in your belly and your legs” (very good knowledge I thought) “AAAAARGH”

Anyway, once it had sunk in he says:
“So can you drink with T1?” Me: (already having said no) “No”
“Can you smoke with T1?” Me: “No”
“Can you gamble with T1?” Well I’ve never heard that one before “Yeah I don’t see why not”

Lol.

Lol.

Oh poor you and at that time in the morning too, oh dear, but you took it well, so well done.
I like " Can you gamble with T1? " I would of probably said " If taking a gamble means having a drink with you, then no !" lol and moved away. lol Take care.
