Today, an old man started telling me about the high price of meat. I told him I wouldn't know, since I'm a vegetarian. His reply was, "Oh, most vegetarians are slimmer." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on my first date in 8 years. While we were looking at the menu, the guy said: "So if you're vegetarian, why're you so fat?" FML
Today, despite feeling healthier than ever, losing fat, gaining muscle and having perfect blood results, my morbidly obese relatives keep telling me that my new vegan diet is "unhealthy". FML
Today, the unhealthiest person I know, weighing in at around 350 pounds told me she was now a vegan. I then told her the Cheese-Itz, as well as the leather boots she was wearing wasn't vegan. She said I was wrong. I'm a nutritionist. FML
Today, I was taking a customer's order when she said she'd better go for a salad, because she was getting fat. She was actually very slim, so I told her she wasn't fat at all. She took one look at me and snorted, "Yeah, not compared to you, that's for sure." FML
Today, my morbidly obese mother gave me an angry lecture at dinner, saying without any trace of irony that my vegetarian diet is "unhealthy and utterly unacceptable". FML
Today, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Today, a customer bitched me out, saying he wouldn't eat his vegetarian dish because it didn't "look vegetarian enough." He then demanded a refund and a plate of the same vegetarian dish. FML
Today, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML
Today, I saw an attractive, thin woman eating a salad. Trying to be smooth, I approached her and told her that she didn't need to eat so scarcely, because she was beautiful. She promptly gave me a dirty look and informed me that she was a vegetarian. FML
Today, I saw a homeless man asking for money for food. Not wanting to give him money so he'd spend it on booze, I decided to buy him a full big mac meal from McDonalds. When I went to hand it to him, he quickly waved his hand, denying it saying, "Thanks but I'm a vegetarian". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How do you know if someone is a vegetarian? Don't worry, they'll tell you...

Try cutting down on processed carbs. Also, as convenient and yummy as faux-meats might be, try to avoid them. They're the vego equivalent of maccas. You can make veggie patties yourself, and that way you know exactly what goes into them.

Old people are a bit tactless. He MIGHT have been getting at the points that vegetarians tend to look malnourished (or at least in his opinion). Although he wouldn't have hesitated at indicating that you were fat (you might be, i don't know)... he's old, he doesn't care about what people think anymore, we're all 5-year-olds to him.

I realized that my comment made no sense to the FML after posting, my bad, sorry. The old man probably just meant you have more meat on your bones then most vegetarians. That is healthy than being freakishly thin.

I'm vegetarian (trying to b vegan), and I'm not stick-thin either. The "all vegetarians are stick thin" stereotype can get really annoying. I'm a size 12, naturally, so I just ignore people's comments like that.
