I have a severe peanut allergy. Like actual EpiPen allergy, not “I avoid peanuts” allergy. I hosted a dinner at my place last weekend and literally put in the group chat beforehand: “Please don’t bring anything with peanuts/nuts into the apartment.” Everyone reacted to it so I assumed it was fine. My friend’s boyfriend shows up carrying this huge tray of satay noodles. I stopped him at the door and was like “hey sorry but I can’t have peanut stuff in the kitchen.” He immediately goes “it’s almond butter.” I looked at the container he brought and the first ingredient was literally peanut paste. Then he starts arguing with me saying it was “cooked” and “there’s barely any in it.” Which already annoyed me because why are YOU explaining MY allergy to me 😭 I told him he couldn’t serve it here. Anyway I go to the bathroom for like two minutes and when I come back he had put the tray in the middle of the table anyway and people had already started serving themselves. My throat started getting itchy almost immediately and I think my face must’ve gone pale because one of my friends asked if I was okay. At that point I was honestly so angry I just picked the whole tray up, took it outside, dumped it in the trash, and told him to leave. And HE got mad. He kept saying I embarrassed him over noodles. Like no??? You brought peanuts into the apartment of someone with a severe allergy after being told multiple times not to. Apparently I’m “dramatic” now according to some of his friends but idk I personally think risking someone’s health because you can’t handle being told no is way more dramatic.
