Not that I give a shit because it's Nubblies, but as an I'm pretty astounded at the sheer number of people who lack complete lack of social forethought of people who find now qualms with asking questions like "OMG WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT/COME IN CONTACT WITH ______________, especially when it's something gastronomic in nature, like lactose intolerance, celiac, etc. I have always thought asking somebody their symptoms of a chronic condition is just a pretty fucking rude thing to do, especially when you can look them up anyways and save people of thinner skin (not me, i'm an improv master) loads of potential embarrassment.
What person in their right mind wants to hear about explosive diarrhea and cramps, in public, at a restaurant, around a bunch of our friends? People who do this in public are generally dumb as shit.

Interesting. I hadn't really thought of that aspect. Now that you mention it though, I'm pretty sure I just naturally would have known not to ask someone about a medical condition that I wasn't already intuitively comfortable asking personal questions to.
When I asked, I was asking purely from a scientific standpoint. Maybe I'm a little bit more curious because of the nutrition class but even still, given the candid nature of nubblies, I never considered it might be an embarrassing topic. For the record, I'm lactose intolerant and shit liters if I eat more than a couple of slices of cheese.
Do you find yourself explaining it a lot or something? You got a little defensive.
