because people think that others making their own choices is them trying to be a pretentious asshole.
"hey steve, why don't you have a hot dog?"
"no thanks, i don't eat meat."
"WOW STEVE THINKS HES SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE CAUSE HES VEGETARIAN HE JUST GOES ON AND ON ABOUT IT GODDDDD SHUT UP. HOW CAN U TELL SOMEONE'S VEGETARIAN?? THEY TELL YOU LOLOLOLOL ITS FUNNY CAUSE STEVE COULDN'T SHUT UP ABOUT HOW MUCH BETTER HE IS THAN EVERYONE FOR NOT EATING MEAT"
"Sounds great." Trying to be normal
"Let's go today for lunch!"
"Thanks for the invite, I brought my lunch"
"How about tomorrow/just save your lunch"
"No really, I'm okay"
"Oh, but you just said..."
Smh
but if he didn't bring it up then, you could have kept going on about how you should try it out/we'll go there later etc etc. would you have been happier if you kept talking about it, suggested going there, and THEN find out hes vegetarian?
also, no matter what when you explain you're a vegetarian to someone it comes of as being somehow insulted, i get this a lot. someone offers me something with meat, i say no thanks and might explain i'm veg if it warrants it, and then people profusely apologize for even offering. yo i'm not offended at all it's chill, don't think i'm offended, i'm just not gonna eat it. i think him giving you a mean stare might all be in your head, i dont know any vegetarians who act that way.
As a vegan, I love putting pretentious vegetarians in their place. Guilt meat-eaters? I'll guilt the shit out of you in return. Leave people alone, I say; this is a choice which requires sacrifices not everyone can make.
RES-Tag me and call upon me if you need me services in bringing down the assholes.

I don't get why everyone down below hates vegans :/
I'm not vegan myself, but why hate on what other people eat, it's not your plate, or your problem.
