Either diabetics have completely taken over the security industry, or everyone in the security industry is a profoundly shameless fuckin' liar. I'm talking security guards, bouncers, TSA agents, anyone responsible for trying to keep you from getting your stuff where you need it to go.
Let me just say I'm pretty young. I hit up bars here in DC. I travel often to go visit family, go to conferences, what have you.
When I go into bars and bouncers spot my sugar supply (soda, juice, whatever I have that day), they are inevitably diabetic. They don't have a diabetic family member, they are, themselves diabetic. Amazing. Either my people have taken over that particular profession, or they're all goddamn liars. 3/3 in the past month. That's just the last month. I can't count how many times the sodas I smuggle have been spotted, but it's never been by a non-diabetic.
TSA agents are some sort of distant cousin. It's them or their mother. Guaranteed. Never an aunt, father, cousin, kid, uncle. Them or their mother. This is every damn time I travel. "No, it can go through the x-ray." That's the insulin that says, specifically, "Do not expose to sunlight" on the bottle. X-rays are a wee bit more energetic and damaging than sunlight. "My mother puts it through all the time."
One might suppose, "well, maybe it's just security personnel." Facts is facts, and I can't think they're a statistically unusual group. I was at a liquor store not too long ago, a nice one with a large beer selection. One I frequent. I've used their bathroom a few times. I say to the guy in the back, the guy standing in the hallway to the bathroom, "hey, can I use the bathroom?"
Guy says, "No. There's no bathroom back here."
I say, "Dude, I've used the bathroom back there."
He says, "Oh." He looks defeated.
Fuckin' liars. I'm surrounded by liars. And people wonder why our nation's in decline.
