Today, I got dragged along to a family dinner. Some idiot invited my douchebag vegan uncle, who spent half the night making condescending remarks and lecturing us on how disgusting it was to have steak on offer at the table. A fistfight eventually erupted, and the cops were called. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML
Today, I reluctantly agreed to bring my boyfriend home to meet my family. He said he wasn’t easily scared and could handle a “weird” family. Two hours later, there was a massive brawl when one uncle hit the other’s wife after she threw wine in his face. Tables were flipped, cops were called. Shit. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house for dinner with his family. His mom cooked up a steak dinner, except that I'm a vegan, but trying to be a good girlfriend, I forced it down. Upon his mother finding out I was a vegan, she called me "disloyal to my beliefs." FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, I went to a family dinner. My grandma wasted no time calling me a slut for not wearing a dress, my dad called my police officer boyfriend a "fucking pig", and then he told my mother to "put a cock in it" when she defended me. No wonder I hardly ever visit these people. FML
Today, it was my birthday. We had a huge family dinner and everyone was invited, including my boyfriend. My family is kind of stuck-up, so I was very nervous about him meeting them. He got into an argument with my uncle over how "awesome" Van Halen is, and ignored me all night. FML
Today, I got dragged to a wedding where I knew no-one. It went on for hours, I got so hungry. We get to the meal, my wife had forgotten to order a vegetarian meal for me. I couldn't eat the main meal, due to allergies and no alternative. I then spent two more hours just waiting to go home. FML
Today, I went on a date with a great vegan guy in my class. We went to a vegi-restaurant, I dutifully ate all the meatless dishes, but he seemed pissed about something, and other diners kept giving me angry looks. After we left, I realised I'd worn my leather jacket to the date. FML
Today, I went to dinner with my husband's family to celebrate our nephew's birthday. He spent the entire dinner flirting with his sister, then got offended when I said that his behavior was weird. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with a girl I really liked. She started crying when an overweight family walked in and loudly sobbed about how the parents were "murdering" their children. This made the father of that family try to fight me. FML

Most vegans I know are very arrogant and annoying.

Hey, vegetables have feelings too; I've heard they grow better when sung to. This is why I subsist on a diet of water and dirt.

I would of bitch slapped him! Yeah Ive had the same lecturing Vegan bullshit! My philosophy: if you eat meat great, if you don't eat meat great, but either way keep your personal choice/opinion/comments to yourself and enjoy whats on your own plate and stop worrying about what's on everyone else's!

Ugh i hate how some people think because they don't eat meat they are better then everyone else. If humans aren't meant to eat meat why do animals taste so good?

Too bad he didn't die.

I dated a vegan once. His only source of protein was his own produce. Plus he never washed his veggies because the manure-rests contains vitamin B-12. And then there is the mom who wouldn't breast feed her baby because milk isn't vegan. The baby died. What is up with this vegan shit?

Seems like people here are not aware of why most vegans are vegans. It's not because "OH THAT POOR BUNNY IT'S SO CUTE I CAN'T EAT IT!!" but because the way animals are brought up and slaugthered under really awful conditions. It's just inhumane. Why would we have the right to keep animals in such conditions just because we are "meant to eat meat"? Eat organic or wild-caught meat instead.

I agree that the conditions we raise food animals in are often not ideal, so even though I still eat meat and animal products I fully respect other people's decision not to. At the same time, I believe this respect needs to go both ways. Diet is a personal choice, and sometimes there are medical or financial reasons that prevent someone from making a major change even if they wanted to. The majority of vegans and vegetarians I've met realize that and only bring the subject up if we're discussing food, but in every group there's always a handful of loud douchebags who give everyone else a bad reputation. Look at any religion or lifestyle choice and you'll see the same thing. It's not "vegans" or "Christians" or anything else- it's just people.

I'm a former vegan (now pescetarian) but I never talked down to anyone who eats meat. I have even cooked meats for my family and friends. it's a personal choice and everyone needs to respect that.

I just make sure to eat before going somewhere where the only food will be meat, or will include meat... I can't expect them to cater to my special wants. That would be ignorant and selfish of me. So I do think your uncle was being pretty douche-y, OP. But not all vegans/vegetarians are. Sorry he had to reinforce a bad stereotype about us. :(
