If you were ok with them disposing them, then why wouldn't you just accept them back and dispose of them yourself after the test was performed if you are that worried they are somehow going to contaminate it?
I do. And for the record, having a toddler, I know what battles are worth fighting and what ones to let go, as I'm sure you are...this would have been a battle I personally would have let go
Maybe you misunderstood my initial post. She initially took it to a back room to dump the water down the sink, not to throw the cup out. She then handed it back to me. That's when I told her that I didn't want it. In fact, she agreed with me that she might not want it back either - that's when I asked why she didn't just dump the water in the trash can. I question strange behavior, it's just something I do. Anyway, it was that question that set her off. Maybe she was a janitor in a former life, I don't know.
I didn't take it and throw it out myself because 1) I was startled that she'd taken it out of my sight, 2) was already walking away and 3) didn't want to deal with the fallout when my son saw
me throwing it away.
Regardless, I don't see anything wrong with how I handled it. I was just curios about the question in my original post.
