Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

^dafuq?! Over here, they will always include a veg*n option with their deals. $5 to sub out a side is nuts.

It is! And breadsticks are probably cheaper than the stupid pasta sides, anyway. And I'd asked before if you can leave off the meat, and just have pasta and plain sauce; and they told me it was premade and frozen - like a microwave dinner. Gross.

On a positive note, bf wanted plain cheese on his pizza and wasn't interested in any of the meaty sides. I doubt he will ever fully make the switch (consciously, at least), but we're making progress. :)

That's how it started with my boyfriend - he was leaving the meat off of more and more dishes, until he realised he hadn't had meat in like a month and had no desire whatsoever to eat it again. We live together now, and there are exactly two non-vegan things in our flat - a cream cheese and a pint of milk for his coffee. They will all be assimilated :P

People, just as a reminder, this is the Stupid things OMNIS say thread. In an attempt to stay on topic, perhaps we can start a stupid things stupid people say thread; or perhaps a thread on evolutionism/creationism/homeschooling.

Thanks.

Not to argue but I think I stayed on topic.

A carnivore is a meat eater.
A herbivore is a plant eater.
A omnivore eats both plants and animals.
A vegetarian is an omnivore that chooses not to eat meat.

Maybe in order to follow what you seem to feel the thread should be about it should be retitled "Stupid things people say about vegetarians".


-I'm reading what I wrote and I might appear to be upset, but I'm not, and I have no wish to upset anyone else. I apologize if I do so.
However as we're trying to keep people on this board it seems foolish to chide them for something like this.

And to bring it back around, I have my own contribution.

Last night bf and I decided to order pizza. Pizzahut has a deal, two medium pizzas, five breadsticks, and a side. The sides you can pick from are five chicken wings (gross), pizza rollers, which are rolls with cheese and pepperoni in them, and pasta with either meat and tomato sauce, or chicken alfredo sauce.

BF asks if we can order this, but sub a second order of breadsticks for the side, so I said I would call and ask. The woman on the phone gave me such a hassle, it's like she couldn't even conceive of someone not wanting a meaty side. "But it comes with the deal" she kept whining. "It's easier to just order one of the sides that comes with it". Over and over. Finally, I half blurted half yelled, "yeah, great, but we don't eat meat, they all have meat in them". I could hear her brain explode over the phone. "Are you suuuurrre you can't eat one of the sides?" She finally went to check with a manager, who I guess told her it were possible for a five dollar up charge.

Five bucks to replace an unwanted item with breadsticks. That's a dollar a breadstick. :wtf:On top of that, it took them an hour and 10 minutes to deliver a pizza to a neighborhood literally down the street. Humph.

I would complain to corporate headquarters (easy to do over the internet). At worst the local Pizza Hut could get a letter and possibly improve their service, at best you could receive a coupon for free items.

-I've never done this, but I had a friend who used to do it whenever he got bad service/food, and he almost always was happy with the responses he got.
 
A close friend of mine (omni - but very supportive) was trying to explain to her daughter (3.5 y.o.) that I don't eat meat. She did a good job but got a little exasperated at the end and let slip with something I am still trying to live down:

Mom: Miss Carole doesn't eat meat.
Kid: Why?
Mom: Miss Carole doesn't like to eat it.
Kid: But it is good.
Mom: Well, yes, we think so. But she doesn't think so. And because we don't have to eat things that we really don't like she doesn't have to eat meat.
Kid: Ok. But what does she eat?
Mom: Vegetables and fruits.
Kid: Like what?

At this point a long conversation about what vegetarians eat ensued listing one vegetable and fruit at a time. After about 5 minutes of "What about this?" and "What about that?" questions, in a desperate attempt to end the endless conversation my friend snaps, "They eat beans and dirt okay?"

To which her daughter replied, "No, Mommy. They eat beans and corn."

So now every time I go to their house her daughter gets a can of beans and a can of corn out of the pantry.

This thread is about what stupid things meat-eaters say about veg*ns etc. It always has been, it's very obvious from the other 150+ posts. It's not a stupid thing humans say although I'm sure if you wanted to start a thread for that then people would post in it. :)

Perhaps. Though if that's true then the title is totally misleading, because it does say "stupid thing humans say".
I hate to tell you this, but vegetarians and vegans are still omnivores. All humans are, and you don't stop being one just because you decide to eat a different diet. The term goes with what you can eat, not what you do eat.
Also while not often, I've seen others post things that weren't about "stupid things meat-eaters say about veg*ns" and there didn't seem to be a problem then. I thought the thread was more in following the mindset of the people who are on the board and what they support.
I guess I was wrong.

I was also wrong about my not being annoyed by this. I am annoyed.

While this is a very minor thing and this is an overreaction on my part, I believe I'm going to give this board a break for a while.

I will miss posting here and I feel a fondness for many of you, however I have other things going on in my life that need my attention, and I don't feel like being here right now.
Hopefully, I will feel differently later.
Love to all
 
^ Aww.:( Hope to see you back soon.:)

I have another story from Come Dine with Me (a UK cooking show). There was a really annoying anti-vegetarian woman who resented eating a purely vegetarian meal *shock horror* as the vegetarian woman on the show wouldn't cook meat for the guests in her own home, which is fair enough!

I think the anti-veg woman was wearing a fur coat at one point and she had all these stuffed dead animals in her home. The veg woman was obviously getting ****** off with the other woman and she started being really sarcastic towards her, that bit was quite funny.:D

I would've told them to do one.
 
My friend and I bought some lunch at Sainsbury's today and sat in their café to eat it. I was looking at the menu board and the first item was salmon fillet, labelled vegetarian. That was stupid enough but further down the list were cod and chips and scampi, both NOT labelled vegetarian. Sainsbury's are normally great at labelling vegetarian and even vegan products, I was very confused. Going to write to them and point out the problem.

Just reading a discussion on FB about how a woman freaked out that a man drank some human breast milk..of course it turned into a dairy debate and a girl just made this comment after a guy said 'Animals are not here for humans...etc'

not really mate beause humans live off animals, therefore what they produce is available for us. What humans produce is not for general human consumption. It's only meant for babies until they are a few months old, then they move onto proper foods.

Wut? Humans live off animals? And also, babies need milk for a lot longer than a few months. Some people.
