So I'm out for supper last night at a decent restaurant (entrees were about $20, so it's not McDonald's or anything), when the guy at the table across from me pulls out his little diabetes kit, fills up the syringe, and injects what I assume to be insulin.

I can handle needles fine, but seriously, this completely put me off my meal. I was sitting directly across from him and couldn't help but notice (our tables were in the middle of the restaurant, so we didn't have the small amount of privacy a booth could have afforded).

IDK, I thought this was totally rude. Not sure why he couldn't have done that in the bathroom or in his car or something. Am I out of line here? Should people do their best to keep their medical issues like that somewhat private so the rest of us don't have to be subjected to them (whenever possible)?
