Most of the lactose free ice cream options use shit that upsets your stomach even more than dairy hitting a lactose intolerant stomach. I thought I was gonna die after eating lactose free ben and Jerry’s, but I’m totally fine eating their regular ice cream with some lactase enzyme. There’s some brands that just add lactase enzyme and those are fine, but the ones I’ve had were just generally low quality ice cream and you’d be better off taking lactase enzyme with a good ice cream…

I’ve so far defied conventional wisdom by just saying flat out when I don’t want to deal with off-hours ‘fun’ time. Which has pretty much been every time. During work hours? Sure no problem. No I’m not going to a team dinner or evening movie. Most egregious one was a couple decades back when the team was arranging a nice holiday dinner. This was early in my career so I hadn’t yet developed the comfort to reject, but the event was “pay your own way” and the restauraunt was a $120 a person, and that is not an inflation adjusted figure. I had barely enough to make rent at the time so there’s no way I was going to piss away $120 just to eat with coworkers that I get to see every day anyway. I was so nervous declining, but it got a bit easier when they acted offended I wouldn’t do it and said $120 wasn’t really a lot of money.

Right, one employee has a common digestive issue that’s common to many, and they devote an entire dairy free ice cream machine to him, and make him a diversity case study? That doesn’t sound remotely plausible.

Bro just keep running with it at this point he’s made enough waves for those whoa rs lactose intolerant and you know what the best thing he can do is: tell everyone that he’s taking a prescription grade Lactose intolerant treatment and if anyone asks him how is it going he can tell people, “he’s, starting treatment and it’s going slow but he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to really enjoy Lactose.” Then!!! He can go one step further and every time there’s a birthday he can, “forget,” his prescription grade Lactose intolerance pills and not participate while still getting to enjoy a creamy coffee.

I once leaned into my social anxiety to try and get out of some company outings and dinners etc. Instead of being able to get out of them, the company made a big deal about being inclusive of me and booked a “quiet meal” at a restaurant. It was meant as a place for people with sensory overload issues. Instead it became my awkward silence hell. Nobody talking but looking with that look at me occasionally.

Tell him turn up to the ribbon cutting, try the dairy free ice cream, say"Christ that’s rank!" and then vomit on the CEO’s shoes. Problem solved.
