Banana-phobe Swedish minister’s staff insisted on ‘no traces in the room’

Colleagues speak up in Paulina Brandberg’s support after leaked emails reveal efforts to spare her from the fruit

www.theguardian.com

According to other emails, her staff said there must not be any bananas in any of the spaces she entered at an event she was attending. “We will secure the conference so that there are no bananas,” read the response.

Bizarre. The woman just needs to seek help for her phobia, rather than getting government employees to waste time ensuring no bananas are in any room she enters.

I sincerely hope the irony isn't escaping you here.

OH NO A BANANA"


Probably shouldn't let mentally ill people in your cabinet.

Can't wait for that guy to go blasting
Edit it's a girl?! Did she get some SenjutsuSage trying to play hide the banana or some weird shit?

Bananas are a good source of potassium and vitamin K.

sharing this story with the world is not going to in any way help her

 

[bundylove]

WHat?

 

[Days like these...]

Maybe we can get West Texas CEO to "find" some dildos and go litter her office with them. I wonder what her reaction would be.

She is so to easy prank, it's guaranteed fun for everyone all of the time.

It’s not even that. « Gender equality » in Sweden is probably the highest in the world, what is your job then? Trying to convince Muslim immigrants to treat their wives like human beings?

What did bananas ever do to her?

The correspondence, published by the newspaper Expressen, includes an email to the Swedish speaker’s office in September stipulating that “no traces of bananas must be in the room” before she attended a meeting with a colleague, owing to a “strong allergy”

Right there in the article. Banana allergy is a thing and symptoms can be quite severe.

An allergie is not the same thing as a phobia.
Plenty of people live normal lives despite having some allergie and don't freak out if there is something in the room.

I dont know that. People with nut or cat allergies definitely try and avoid being in the same room as such things. And i can definitely see people develop phobias of said objects due to said allergies.

And before you ask. Yes, the associated particles for banana allergies can be airborne too.

People don't have panic attacks if there are foods they can eat in the room.
They just make sure that they don't eat those foods.
Otherwise, people with allergies could never go to a restaurant, a bakery, supermarket, etc.

No. This is ridiculous. An allergy is a physical reaction of the body due to elements it cannot assimilate. It’s not the same as a phobia, which has a psychological base. She is just fucking stupid, that’s it.

I just saw the House of the Dragon season finale and one of the characters described his banana being split like a sausage on a spit after being severely burned by Dragon Fire: I’m glad I did not see his banana after this incident

 

[GymWolf]

I bet it was a racist banana

Is there some Rick and Morty banana thing.

Did you just stereotype a woman with your outdated ideas about personal hygiene?
