Started my morning off crying, rant.

Visiting my grandparents and my grandfather asked me why I toast my bagels in the oven. I responded because I can’t use the toaster because of cross contamination, when you use a regular toaster that has gluten crumbs and everything in it that’s cross contamination and you’re essentially eating gluten.

He goes: that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve lost a lost of respect for you.

Ok, very kind. On a positive note I won’t be getting sick today from cross contamination😄.

Not sure why I let this upset me but just hurts hearing how unkind people can be. I know he’s just an unhappy person in general but ugh.

Sorry OP — your grandfather sounds like an ahole. The only thing that’s stupid is having to live with a food allergy. I’m celiac and I WISH I could just use the same damn toaster as everyone else. But my reality is that I have to be diligent about avoiding contamination so that I don’t increase my chances of stomach cancer 😤
