Similar experience with the empty plastic flip-top containers of about the same size used to hold diabetes testing strips. I use my empties of those to hold my morning or evening doses of diabetes and other medications, and vitamins; it's easier when I'm not eating breakfast or dinner at home to take the 4 to 8 total pills (1 primary and 1 secondary blood sugar med, 1 blood pressure med, 1 cholesterol med, the rest assorted vitamin and mineral supplements) that I will need during or after the meal in one container rather than carry 5 or 6 small plastic bottles of dispensed or OTC pharmacy purchases in my backpack.much ado wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 4:55 pm Then he noticed a 35 mm film canister on the ledge below the glove compartment in front of mrs ado. (Everyone of a certain age will know what those canisters were used for back then.) He asked to see it, so we handed it over. He held it very close to his face and looked into it very intently for quite a while. He did this so long that my wife finally offered this helpful information: "The film is in the camera."
So I get looks when I openly place the little flip-top container on the table next to me. Then at one diner where I was a regular in Florida -- also later in London, again somewhere I was a regular -- one day the server saw me pop open the lid and down my meds, and after that the funny looks stopped. That first diner, in Florida, is a regular cop hangout. So the funny looks mattered, but the cops never once bothered me on the premises even before I was visibly seen popping my meds. I guess they didn't want to annoy the manager by making a scene there. But it was still a relief once word spread, yanno?
