I would never think of getting involved in another person sorting their meds out.<\/p>\n<p>Another part of me could see how maybe he was trying to be helpful \u2014 but why? I had the pharmacist.<\/p>\n<p>So when she finally spoke up, he didn\u2019t take it well.<\/p>\n<p>So I told him no one asked him anything and that it was none of his business.<\/p>\n<p>He went ballistic.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to gather my pills in peace.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like this guy isn\u2019t the most self-aware guy.<\/p>\n<p>What did Reddit think?<\/p>\n<p>This commenter thinks the pharmacist should have done more to shut this behavior down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-711505\"
