I had several hassles from pharmacists, cops, campus, etc over syringes and insulin when I was in my 20’s and had long shaggy hair and ripped jeans. It didn’t help that this was the 1990’s when every day the AIDS epedimic was in the news instilling massive public fear of syringes/injectables.
Now that I have totally grey hair and a buzzcut I get no hassles at all.
Also today I see ads EVERYWHERE, including giant billboards, of good-looking people giving themselves their Ozempic shots etc. Very refreshing compared to the attitude to syringes 30-40 years ago.
