I would buy a huge block of cheese and eat it in the car with him. And eat it. If he said anything about cheese, I'd agree enthusiastically.
"You're so right. Cheese is a killer." Then take another huge bite.
Love :drinker:
You should add bacon to EVERYTHING you eat in front of him. *disclaimer I have been vegan and vegetarian in the past and he sounds like an *kitten* hat to me*0 -
Cook some bacon in the microwave at work. Make the whole place smell like bacon!!!0
-
Then he proceeded to say - "well, none of the people in Auschwitz were overweight."
are you effing kidding me?! he honestly compared someone working towards getting HEALTHY to the prisoners or Auschwitz!?
Sounds like this person needs his head checked because there is something seriously wrong with them.0 -
I feel sorry more sorry for the wife. Ugh what a d***. Maybe just tell him that he doesn't need to worry about your diet. And I agree with the jellybeans lol, offer him some. If I was feeling particularly evil, I would give his wife some jelly beans. Constantly talk about cheese, the different kinds, tastes, how you like to eat it, cook with it. If he really thinks he is your friend, ask him for a cheese of the month club for Christmas. You could just ignore it, but his smugness needs a slap.0

Also, a hunk of chicken.0 -
Did I read right in that you want to introduce drugs testing because he smokes weed? Why would you want to do that? Sounds far worse than him talking about cheese.
The company used to do random testing - I work in the chemical industry with lots of things that could blow up, spew crap into the environment or kill people. I just don't like any one who could be drunk, stoned, tweeking, hallucinating, etc. operating heavy equipment on a job site. My suggestion to bring back the random testing is being considered. I've had to let people go in the past for showing up to work drunk or stoned. One situation was really hard - he was a good guy and a good employee - he had a rough situation and had a few drinks before his shift - he got tagged for being drunk by supervisor, tested via breathalyzer, and was fired.0 -

The best way to deal with people who lecture you about what you eat is to eat the foods they're telling you are the root of all evil in front of them, and when they tell you how bad it is, tell them how much you enjoy eating the poison.... seriously. They'll think you're too far gone to bother trying to lecture you again.0 -

I approve wholeheartedly of your use of "asshat" as well. bahahh.

"admits he likes playing devil's advocate" - Sounds like my ex-husband, lol!
But playing devil's advocate about jelly beans and cheese would actually be opening a discussion about the effect consuming those products has on the digestive system, the body as a whole, and perhaps the environmental effects of sugarcane harvesting and mass dairy production. SMH.
Next time he starts a commentary, I'd respond, "I didn't ask for your opinion so please keep it to yourself." If he starts to respond to that, interrupt and say, "Did you not understand what I said? I don't care what you think about my personal choices."0 -

That's what I would do too. I usually skip cheese or have soy cheese but in this situation I'd eat lots of dairy cheddar0 -
Some people just need to be right...it's an ego thing. Even if he wasn't a vegetarian, he would find some other way to be "holier-than-thou". Ask him if he's seen a therapist to talk about his obvious insecurities.0

Defo this - I can be very petty when I want to be - and he IS an asshat.
Cheese is tasty tasty protein.0 -
Stop talking to him. Seriously, just walk off when he opens his yap. In the car, don't respond to him when he starts crap.0
-
Sounds like someone who just likes to argue and win his point. Start responding with a noncommittal "hmmm" so that he has nothing to argue against. Nothing you are going to say anyway is going to change his mind.0

My favorite reply to a vegetarian "If God didn't want people to eat meat, he wouldn't have made them so damn tasty."0
-
In my bio class, I also have to deal with a person like this.
Just ignore him, eventually he will get the idea that you do not wish to engage in further conversations.0 -
Sounds like his cheesestick is too SMALL... and his ego/need to obsess about what women in his life are eating is too LARGE.
Ignore him as much as you can and NEVER share any personal info about your future job change plans.
Listen to ipod/language program/books on tape when it is not your turn to drive the carpool.
Not sure how you made the connection, but you seemed to find a path to penis shaming. Congrats!0 -
Get his wife a gift of a "cheese of the month" club.0
-
just keep bringing up that he isn't a real vegetarian if he eats fish. that will get him going lol.
he sounds like a real turd though. tell him to shut the **** up and mind his own business, or that you will shut his mouth with cheese for him.0 -
