I mean, I love animals, probably more than most people! But I also love meat. mmm... steaaaak. Thats not saying I don't have a ton of respect for people whose moral guidelines or animal love prevents them from indulging in carnivorous behaviors. I do, however, have a problem with those vegetarians who just do it to be different. Over a meat-centric meal last week my girlfriend and I were discussing our shared hatred for the attention-seeking type of vegemaniacs.
ME: "Um, I hate the way they don't even bother looking at the menu before announcing to the world that they are better than us"
GF: "I know. 'Excuse me, do you have any vegetarian options?' might as well be 'yes excuse me, do you have food for special people?'"
Granted, they are not the only people I try to avoid restaurant dining with. There are generally 3 other types:
1) The "Usual" guy: Who eats there all the time and is always ready to order before the menus even arrive.
2) The Indecisive girl: the opposite of the "usual guy," Who changes her mind again and again, forcing the other patrons into waiting to order; Then laments throughout the entire meal how she should have gotten one of the other 32 options she was considering.
3) The Dumb one: the most tolerable of the 3 and DEFINITELY easier to handle than a vegetarian. This guy either can't pronounce anything on the menu or straight up can't read and tends to order things that have pictures he can simply point to.
However, like previously mentioned, ANY of these pale in comparison to a snooty vegetarian on a scale from one to annoying as hell.
"THE USUAL" GUY INDECISIVE GIRL THE DUMB ONE VEGETARIAN
Snooty Vegetarian is always soooo pleased with himself when he gets to announce to the entire table that he is better than them.
"I'm so awesome."
He expects some sort of restaurant-wide celebration simply because he has chosen to abstain from eating animal products. Maybe a song and dance like some restaurants do for a birthday.
"Attention everyone, sorry to interrupt your meals, but there is a vegetarian in the house!!"
"WOOT!"
"Hell yea!"
"Good for him!"
"Congratulations!!"
Snooty Vegetarian thinks the world revolves around him and his eating habits.
Guess what SnootyVegetarian Guy... NO ONE CARES! Except maybe Peta.
And the cows. Maybe the cows will throw you the party you feel you deserve.
I'm offended that you used a TCU girl to represent indecisive. Sure...they may wear christmas tree shirts with leggings (essentially having no pants on)...but that doesn't mean ALL of them are indecisive! Your stereotyping is shameful bloggerkate!
