After seeing Obi's post about vegans (hee hee ) I just thought of another pet peeve: vegans who act like martyrs and feel called on to sulk at any and all food-related functions. Now, there's nothing wrong with being vegan if that's your thing, but to throw it in everyone else's face to try to make others feel guilty is.

Example: There are several vegans in my department at school who come to every departmental dinner and groan because the salad has cheese crumbles or the bread probably has eggs in it or the wine is in bottles made out of fish bladders. They typically get plates and stand over the buffet table proclaiming that they just can't eat anything on it, and end up eating the radishes or lettuce used as a garnish on the fruit or salad plates. (The fruit itself is off-limits because it's usually on a tray with cheese.) Next up is whining about how hungry they are and how absurd it is that they can't eat anything at the dinner. Then, because they don't have cars, they convince someone else at the dinner to take them home early or to a restaurant where they can get vegan-friendly food.

My question is: if you know you won't be able to eat the food provided, why bother to come and make a big spectacle of yourself? Just stay home!

I think there's two possible replies to these dimwits:

1) "Eat it or starve!"

2) "STFU"

...or both together...

Arggh! Just had this happen again... "your" used incorrectly! Often "you're" should be used.
Jack McCall: "Should we shake hands or something, relieve the atmosphere. I mean how stupid do you think I am?"
