Quarter Pound Bacon Cheeseburger Boy
Normally there isn't anything special about Environmental Biology section 06.
In fact, usually I feel like I am surrounded by a sea of gluten due to the fact my demographic has decided Environmental Biology is a synonym for lunch time.
So today wasn't any different when a friend sat at the desk in front of me eating a quarter pound bacon cheeseburger. I knew my hope for a gluten free class was over. About halfway through the class he got up, taking his gluten infested tray with him, and left the classroom (returning a few minutes later).
After class we walked out together, and our conversation went something like this:
Him: "How are you feeling?"
Me: "Fine why?"
Him: "I know you are allergic to wheat so I made sure to throw out the tray outside. I also washed my hands and face just in case. I didn't want to touch any of your stuff and contaminate it."
Now, how sweet is that? I have maybe told him once or twice about my "allergy" and he was thoughtful enough to make sure I wouldn't get a "reaction". Usually I keep quiet about Celiac Disease unless I feel I need to say something. Having someone be so considerate of my health was incredibly encouraging, especially when he really doesn't know much about gluten.
So yes, quarter pound bacon cheeseburger eating boy made my day. =]
