Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

This reminds me of when my sister and I were talking about how to celebrate one of my birthdays. I suggested seeing a play at the Pantages in Hollywood, and either before or after the play we'd have dinner at Real Food Daily, a vegan restaurant in West Hollywood. Since there was the possibility of my BIL joining us, my sister protested the suggestion of RFD, saying her omni husband would probably prefer "normal" food. This statement struck me as incredibly ridiculous, first of all seeing how we were celebrating MY birthday and I thought I'd get to choose where we'd have dinner. Second of all, my sister used to be a strict vegetarian, and she still couldn't think of vegan food as normal? Third of all, it wouldn't kill her husband to have one vegan meal in his entire life. We ended up cancelling the plans entirely due to other reasons, but what my sister said annoys me to this day.

I'd be annoyed too. It was very inconsiderate. I hate when people are so closed minded when it comes to vegan food. I've read reviews of Real Food Daily and seen pics and menus of the food. There's nothing weird about it at all and I've read reviews from many omnis who loved the food there.

The other day a family member was looking for lemon juice to add to their fish meal :yuck:.
Family member: "I guess we don't have any lemon juice for the fish".
Me: "There are some fresh lemons in the fridge."
Family member: "Yeah but there's no lemon juice".
Me: "No, but there are lemons."
Family member: "Yeah but there's no juice".
Me: "There are fresh lemons! Fresh lemons that you could cut up and squeeze the juice out of to put on your meal!! Lemon juice comes from lemons!!!!"
Family member: "I'll just cook the lemons in the pan with the fish".
:fp:

As a Floridian, I have to point out that it's not uncommon for me to bring a lemon to work or have one in the car in case I get food. Fresh lemon squeezed on lots of things is a win. :)

And I think the vegan birthday person gets to choose the restaurant!!

Friend: "OMG! Jill showed me a video of what they do to chickens to make chicken nuggets at McDonalds! "
Me: "It's terrible and awful, isn't it?"
Friend: "I'm never eating nuggets from McD's again!"
Me: "That's great!"
Friend: "They put the chicks in the grinder alive! OMG! They grind them alive!!!!"
Me: "I know. Even if they don't grind them alive they live horrible lives and suffer horrendous deaths." Then I go on to explain and I get:
Friend: "Lalalalala I don't want to hear it!! Stop! ":rolleyes:

'I don't eat meat anyway just chicken and fish except for mince when I cook Chilli Con Carne...':fp:

The person that said this to me has had many occasions to regret the remark since :sf:

"You can get a salad at McDonalds"
1) I don't think their McSalads are even vegan
2) Why would I want some gross salad when there are a million vegan options that taste good? :p
Ok so let's say the tables are turned and 99% people are vegans, how would they like it if someone said to them "you can order wet dog food!" Because that's how I feel about the salad option.

When my husband asks me what am I eating/making and I answer "chicken sandwich or cream cheese and olives on an everything bagel or chili"...he has to ask "REAL chicken? REAL cream cheese, etc." I mean it's been ten years...I shouldn't have to say veggie chicken sandwich or tofutti cream cheese and olives. And I eat real food. Omnis don't corner the market on what is real food. It took me ten years but I finally told him I'm not answering that question anymore, lol.

The one I often get is, "then you can't drink beer, right?!" Because I guess Saccharomyces cerevisiae is kind of an animal.

To be honest, the whole fungus thing is kind of murky, but I try not to think about it too much.
