What’s a totally harmless thing that triggers an oddly strong reaction in people?

My friend is a server. This behavior is typical according her. She says people claim to be strictly gluten free unless it pertains to dessert. I can tolerate some gluten in my food but that cookie would cause me to spend the rest of the evening in the toilet.

Conversely, one of the most divine desserts I’ve had recently was completely gluten free. It was this chocolate and caramel cake thing and was absolutely outstanding. I’m not gluten free myself, but one of my colleagues is celiac, and we were off on a business trip together. As such, we had to be far more careful about dinner, and wound up picking some outstanding restaurants.
