Today, when I told my family I was a vegetarian, I expected them to make fun of me because that's just my family. But what I wasn't expecting was my dad to use raw meat as a puppet and make it say, "Eat me! Eat me!" then throw it at my face. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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've been a vegan for a year. It's also the day that I met my dad's new best friend, who happens to be a retired butcher. They tried to pull an intervention on me for not "being sensible" by eating meat. FML
Today, my mom told me that when my sister and I were born, the first thing my dad said was, "I hope they don't turn out vegetarian." I did. FML
Today, my daughter said she wanted to be vegetarian like me. Beaming with pride, I made her plant-based burgers for dinner. She took one bite, screamed, "EW!" and started crying and begging for beef burgers. FML
Today, we had guests coming over. My dad wanted me to make some bacon, but I refused because I'm a vegetarian, and don't like to touch meat. His response? 'Good joke honey, now make the bacon.' FML
Today, my dad announced to the whole family that we will be having a vegetarian dinner this Christmas to make my step-mum happy. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, I told my younger sister that meat comes from cute animals like chickens and cows, hoping she'd want to be vegan like me. Instead, she laughed and made up a song about how chickens turn into tenders and cows turn into cheeseburgers. I ended up being the one who got upset. FML
Today, after being a vegetarian for 5 years, I found out that my boyfriend of 2 years has secretly been feeding me meat. His reason is that he thinks it's "funny" that I still call myself a vegetarian afterwards. FML

No masshole can be a vegetarian, it's an unwritten rule that was just passed by nobody -concerned masshole

Your dad is a horrible person. Hide all the meat from him so he will suffer.

Well, you shouldn't be vegetarian anyway. Animals were meant to be eaten. You being a vegetarian does nothing to help the ”poor little animals” becaused every sane person on this planet eats meat.

She doesn't like meat. Big deal! Animal were not meant to be eaten! What weirdo though, " hey you see that cow over there? Let's kill it and eat it". That's the weird thing. I'm not a vegetation but I totally support them.

You sound really narrow minded. It's a lifestyle choice that should be left up to the person. People who don't eat meat aren't sane? You haven't met every vegetarian. Maybe meat makes them sick. You don't know, so stop making blanket statements.

Thank you, 72. There is a wide variety of reasons someone might choose not to eat meat. Health, the environment, animal cruelty, allergies, religion, and much more. It's harmless, so why do you care so much about what OP eats or doesn't eat?

Take it from him, then send it to Lady Gaga with a note: "Wear me! Wear me!"

My food ***** on your food. :P Seriously though, I sometimes wish I could hunt or afford to buy free range meat because of the way the meat industry treats animals. I can't be a vegetarian because I'd starve because I simply can't eat vegetables. They make me gag. :( But good for you making that noble decision for yourself. Maybe in a few years you'll look back at your dad's stupid behavior and laugh.
