    Me: I don't eat meat. Them: What, not even a hamburger?

    Or (my favorite recently):
    Me: I don't eat meat. Colleague: I'm taking the team out to Buffalo Wild Wings and you have to come.

    DON'T GET THE VEGGIE BURGER!! I'm a meat-eater who likes a good veggie burger from time to time, so I made that mistake. It was so bad I couldn't even get halfway through it.

    I like veggie burgers.. but I'm a meat eater.. Is it as good as burger.. no! Is it acceptable and still pretty good.. overcooked they are hideous!!!

    Depends on the Veggie burger. I have had some that were tasty and I am a meat eater.

    I'm both. xD I'll bake like crazy, have one, and then bring the rest in and leave it in the work kitchen.

    Right, as have I. See above. I'm speaking about the one specifically at that restaurant.

    Oh yeah definitely, B-Dubs is bad all around, their wings are way over rated.

    I have a friend who is lactose intolerant and her parents are dairy farmers. To this day they refuse to believe it and she cannot eat at her parents house because her mom will put dairy in the food and tell her she didn't, and she will be sick all night. Good thing it isn't a peanut allergy.

    Wow, that is terrible. Poor friend.

    Haha, reminds me of my ex mother in law. She wanted to cook dinner for my side of the fam and when she was told my sis is a vegetarian she thought making a fish dish was the right thing bless her heart.

    In my experience, it's sometimes easier to pass on the first one than to stop at one. But plan your day around tasty meal and tell yourself that you have to save calories for it...

    I have the same problem!! I've been vegetarian for about 10 years and with my boyfriend for 5. His family are all huge meat eaters and even after 5 years, my diet is still the main topic of discussion. It makes me still feel like an outsider and that I can't fit in. I always have to bring my own food to meals because literally everything has meat. Then I get the looks like they think I think I'm better than them when I'm really just trying to have a family dinner. So frustrating!

    People love to do this, see if they can sabotage you. I'll tell them "okay, bake what ever you want, but be advised up front I am not eating it." If that ticks them off, too bad.

    Department upstairs: We have cookie bars for everyone!
    Other Department: We have breakfast tacos for everyone!
    Coworker: I brought in cinnamon rolls!

    Yeah. I'm not even full-on vegetarian (I drink milk and eat cheese and eggs and everything!), and it still causes issues at work and for my dad's family. "I don't eat meat" has become like a mantra. Someday, they will get it. If they never do, well...I tried, and nothing in this world will get me to consume red meat again. (It makes me physically sick.)
