Making rude comments out of complete ignorance
Here's an example:
I was a preschool teacher when I had a bad seizure in front of a bunch of 4-year-olds. When I was taken to the emergency room (against my wishes), the teacher I was working with told all the kids that I was going to the hospital because I was going to die! Of course the kids were scared and told me when they saw me again that they were happy I was alive.
Bottom line: People shouldn't make crude comments when they don't really understand what epilepsy is!
