 Save me from the horror!
How do I deal with this dining nightmare next time??
What ammunition should I bring to the table to defend myself against the verbal 'veg' barrage? |
Are they sitting there nekkid? Because unless they are, they really have nothing to say! (and... well, if they Are, then you've got Lots bigger problems... possibly Literally
)
Lets see... vegans... are they wearing clothes made from chemically (poluting) materials? From naturally occuring materials? (ouch, poor plants, hurting them that way
) Leather shoes? well, lets not go there!
People who pick at others are a real pain in the ass. They aren't making the world better, they're just looking for attention because they haven't done anything to deserve it otherwise.
I was vegan from the time I was 5 or 6, by choice. I changed that around 37, by choice again. I might go back, I might not, but I never felt the need to force my opinions on my dining companions. If yours do, you might want to seek out new companions...just asked to be moved from that table due to allergies.*
*an allergy to an ass is serious business, if there are several of them in your area, you could die from assfixation
