This morning I was on my way across the road on my usual milk run and discovered the most irritating person on my planet has moved into my block. In one minute, he managed to say three of the most annoying things you can say to someone with chronic illness:
-1) But you look so WELL. (Thanks. I had three seizures yesterday and i had to take an hour's sleep to work up the energy to do my across-the-road milk run. But I'm so glad I look well.)
-2) But you still have that smile. (Thanks. I was crying my eyes out two hours ago and had to wait until I looked half decent to take my milk run. I smile because if I didn't, I'd be in a loony bin. And are you seriously flirting with me right now? Seriously?)
-3) Let's go out next week. (Hellooooo. I told you two months ago I was too sick to socialise. Aside from that, you're the dullest person I've ever met. Aside from that, if I ever had to spend an hour with you, first I'd chop off my own head with a butter knife. Aside from that, I don't socialise with people who don't care enough to actually offer to help out when I'm ill.)
