Why would you go to a baseball game and get mad that people are eating peanuts?

Allergies are no joke, especially severe ones. One time when I was working as a cashier at a Chinese restaurant, a dude called in to order for pickup and said his wife was highly allergic to soy. He asked us to please make sure there was no soy in the meal because she would have to go to the ER if she consumed any. I put «Soy Allergy» on the order like 10 times because he was so urgent about it. An hour later, we got a call saying that she had broken out in hives and was going to the ER because of our negligence. That is probably in the top 2 worst things I’ve ever done, but there are two obvious scapegoats. The people working in the kitchen should have said it was impossible to make food at our restaurant without cross-contaminating it with soy. Also, what kind of person with a severe soy allergy thinks that ordering from a seedy Chinese restaurant is a good idea? Honestly, I just hope that woman is okay and that she never has another allergic reaction for the rest of her life. 

People with allergies are often hyper-aware of them and try to make sure at every juncture that they don’t inadvertently harm themselves with food. That can be difficult when the thing you’re allergic to is in so many different meals. For instance, if you’re so allergic to peanuts that your throat closes up whenever you smell them, it might not be super smart to go to a Thai restaurant. The same could be said for a baseball game, because peanuts are often sold in the stands, with patrons throwing the shells on the ground. The family in this story didn’t consider that before bringing their super-allergic son to a baseball game and expecting everyone around them to accommodate them.
