Not sure why I did this...
Back in the somewhat grotty days of my youth, I had just begun a (quite unexpected) relationship with a young lady in my year. It was early days and we were going though the phase of buying each other things and generally being quite pleasant.
One day said girl skips across the netball courts at lunchtime and presents me with a Snickers bar. A chocolate, nutty symbol of her love.

Now I loved Snickers (not so much now, the peanuts stick in my wisdom teeth) but for some unknown reason I declined.

"I'm allergic to peanuts, I can't eat things like that!" I cried, visibly flinching as if the peanuts would leap out and attack me.

And so began two weeks of her checking and re-checking everything she brought for me, making sure the meals her and her mother cooked were peanut free and generally protecting me from a peanut induced death.

Imagine the look on her face when she caught me tucking into a bag of dry roasted peanuts. We broke up shortly afterwards.

So I faked a peanut allergy, for no reason whatsoever. I suppose it was quite funny at the time. Either that or I was a sad little bastard.
