I Am Beeping Diabetic, B****es!
(I’m diabetic and have a few medical devices and accommodations. One of my devices beeps really loudly when I have high blood sugar. I am in math class and it beeps. The girl next to me tells turns to me.)
Girl: “Silence your phone!”
Me: “My phone is silenced.”
(It beeps again three minutes later.)
Girl: “Oh, my f****** God, turn your phone off! I can’t focus!”
Me: “My phone is silenced.“
(She is super mad, and so when it beeps a third time, she gets up and yells.)
Girl: “TAKE HER D*** PHONE AWAY!”
(The teacher took my phone, but I didn’t mind, because when the fourth beep chimed the girl stared at me, so angry that she just got up and left. The next day in class, it beeped and I took it out and programmed it to stop; she looked very embarrassed.)
