Can someone please educate the noob here on everything being fucking delicious? It makes me giggle every time but probably will even more so if I actually get the joke.

OMG, I totally figured it out. She threw her OWN lunch away while in her near diabetic coma. Then later in the day, she went back to the fridge, believing her lunch should be there. When she discovered it was gone, she mistakenly assumed someone had removed it and went on to post her PAN.

Just like sleep walking, baby.

Don’t sweat it, dicky49. I don’t know what Anglios are, but if I did, I’d probably like them just as much as I like Anglos!

why would somebody throw out perfectly good string cheese in a tupperware, and not discard a new species growing from a bag of iceberg?…hmmmm.

Kraft dinner? That might work actually… it’s lucky the dawd hasn’t got a crush on me. I’d be defenseless. I’d probably end up the band camp gimp.

ndpity, is your first name Sarah?

#146 – I appreciate the comments and the lessons on diabetes/insulin. It always helps to know more about what were going on and on about, doesn’t it?

Angliophile is right. The noteposter just used the diabetic coma as a ruse to lay a guilt trip on the lunchstealer SOB.

Did I totally read this note wrong? I think: (a) Hungry knows damn well that no one “cleaned” the fridge–they just stole her lunch; and (b) no insulin was actually thrown out, she’s just pissed her portioned out pretzels are gone, and she’s pouring on the drama.

i’d totally say that b/c i’d be pissed as fuck if someone threw away my lunch. It’s typical for people to look at what they’re throwing away…I’m pissed for her!

From what I have read, ndpity, any extreme glucose levels – high or low – can bring on a diabetic coma. I had a look at the Mayo Clinic site and they didn’t seem to indicate that one was more common than the other. Other sites made it seem like hypoglycemia was the most common cause, while some seemed to back up your statement. But as I said before, I don’t have diabetes (though several family members have had it) so I am only going by what I have read, not having witnessed a diabetic coma firsthand.

I agree with everything else you wrote, though. And since it came from a “real diabetic”, I hope hannibal reads it as well.

Just wanted to clear up a few things here (I have type-1 diabetes). The note-leaver is obviously frustrated, and more than a little bit dramatic. But I also would be REALLY pissed if my insulin suddenly disappeared. That’s why I would never put it in the fridge at work. Insulin really IS delicious and makes a great salad. And it smells just like Band-Aids.
A “diabetic coma” usually refers to high blood sugar and ketoacidosis from lack of insulin, although low blood sugar can cause loss of consciousness also.
I would assume that the insulin in question is of the fast-acting variety, and that the note-leaver is on multiple daily injections – meaning, he/she takes insulin at each meal and would have to fast if they were unable to take it. And if that person happened to be a type-1 diabetic, they would be in bad shape within a couple hours – risking long-term complications like blindness and nerve damage. It sounds like this person is being proactive in trying to prevent those complications, which is why they should really keep their insulin elsewhere. It doesn’t REALLY need to be refrigerated after you open it, anyway.
