So my mom texts me and says she and my dad are having bbq pork ribs for dinner. I text back 'Eeeeew' because I'm vegetarian and she knows telling me those things grosses me out. So then she texts me back 'You don't know what you're missing.' Cue eye twitching. So I text her back 'Offensive answer is offensive. I do know what I'm missing. I'm missing eating the body parts of a dead pig. Fine by me to miss that!'

Ugh, I just can't even. Being vegetarian is a personal life choice for me. MY choice. Not theirs, not anyone else's. If they want to eat meat, fine...it grosses me out and I ask them not to tell me about it, but ugh, fine, do whatever - your life. But why can't they respect MY choice?! MY life?! I don't think she means to be offensive, but I've asked her multiple times not to tell me about her eating meat. But hell, that's not even the most offensive part. If she tells me 'You don't know what you're missing' one more time I'm going to lose it. I DO know what I'm missing - dead animal parts filled with digusting chemicals and death. No thank you. Respect me and stfu about it.

Okay, rant over. For now... -_-

Anyone else have people tell them offensive shit and they don't even realize it?

Yup... my nose piercing closed up somehow and my mom told me "Now since you've blown a $100 on it or more, you'll never get that money back. I told you it's not meant to be for you".

Yes, it is. I like it. I'm going to get it redone.

My one aunt was positively thrilled that I have a chance at a "real job" this summer since it's full time. -_-

That was one fight I wasn't going to pursue.

Yes, the job I have right now is totally fake, I have fake keys and fake responsibility and fake clients and fake money. Yep, totally fake.

"You're so skinny, how do you eat so much?"

Yep, you got me, I totally have a black hole in my stomach.

Well, that or I just, you know, eat normal amounts of food. You know, like I should.

"You're fat, do you practice any sports?

No, of course not. I've just been going to the gym and training like I'm going to die for the last 3 years.

"You are at home? Lost your job?" No, actually I have one week of vacation tyvm. >>

"You should go get pregnant to fix your PCOS and endometriosis" I seriously had one of my teachers at school tell me that.

"You need to get over yourself and stop being depressed! It makes you look ugly and self centered. Don't you realize there are worse things in the world right now?" Same teacher said that to me.

I know how you're feeling girl. I've recently gone from vegetarian to vegan and I feel like everyone is making such a big deal out of it. Like you said, it's a personal choice, why are people even getting involved?! And it makes me so mad when I go to restaurants and have to be that 'fussy customer'... geeeeez I'm sorry that I don't eat animals like everyone else.

Two Christmas' ago, I told my aunt that I had been given Christmas Eve off from work, and she said "Oh wow, they wouldn't give that day off to people who have relationships instead?"

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize not having someone fucking me at the time gave me less rights than other people??

RIGHT?! Sometimes I get so shocked and think I've heard the dumbest comment ever about 'not eating animals' and then someone goes and says something worse. -_- I don't think I like the human race very much anymore.

"You'll change your mind" about me not wanting kids (yeaa no. Hate kids, wife hates kids, aint happening!)

I GET THAT ALL THE TIME TOO. I don't want to pass on my genes because of a few health problems. That's one reason. Then there's the reason that I just can't freaking stand all the screeching and mess and general...kid-ness of kids. That's another reason. But why the hell do I even need a reason?! I don't want kids. End of story.

Eek, sorry for the double post!

THIS, good lord. I lost a bunch of weight when I moved out because of cooking my own meals and not being a lazy ass, and everyone acts as if I'm hiding some secret pill for weight loss. And now when I am seen eating pizza or another treat, that MUST be all I ever eat, how am I so thin.

OMG yes! I get this all the time. I found as I'm getting older, I'm more and more against having kids, plus I don't think I can even have kids because of my PCOS and endometriosis.

-is in a hurry and decides not to get dolled up every single morning of my life- Cue the remarks from co-workers "oh, you look SOOOO tired today!" "Oh my, are you feeling sick?"

Yes. Yes, I feel just fine, albeit better before you passive aggressively told me I look like crap today.

Right? The lettuce jokes get super old, super fast. I'm also a vegetarian and I'm pretty sure everyone cares more about it than I do. I'm literally just a picky eater, but I'm incessantly asked about it. A new girl at my work had a whole line of questioning about it, like, "What made you become a vegetarian?" and "Is your whole family vegetarian?" And I'm just like, "Nope, munching on flesh squicks me out and that's about as deep as it gets. Hope you weren't expecting some meaningful speech about kittens." :I My family likes to act like I have some weird aversion to food, too. And it's like, yup, I just hate food. That's totally why I'm on my third slice of pie.

I hate kids. HATE. Nothing about them holds any remote appeal to me. I get that comment a lot and it drives me insane. And it's incredibly condescending. Like, yeah, you definitely know what I want in my own life more than I do.

I just want to put a sticky note on their face that says "NO" on it. Just slap it on there and make them sit in the naughty corner.

Oh, god. I'm an insomniac (which pretty much means permanent dark circles, super fun) and I never leave the house without slapping some eye cream on because that gets so annoying.

But personally? Just say, "Yeah, you know, I am feeling sick," and cough all over them. For giggles.

Anything that suggests my fiance "is a baby" or suggests I'm "a cougar" pisses me off. Yes, I'm 4 years older than my fiance. Why is it such a big deal that a male is younger than the female in a relationship? I never had these sorts of comments when I was dating men a few years older than me.

i wouldn't really say offensive, but many of my friends are often making remarks or jokes about how "innocent" i am and it has gotten very. bloody. old. like, i'm not a saint. just because i'd rather play pokemon than leaf through a porn magazine, it doesn't mean i'm still "too young". i'm an adult who doesn't think about his genitals 24/7, that doesn't make me a kid for god's sake. e . e

I'll bet you also get, when you're at a restaurant that doesn't have vegetarian options, someone who says 'Just have a salad!' Because the salads at most restaurants are totally meals - some shitty lettuce, one tomato slice, and a shriveled cucumber slice. eyeroll I wish more people would learn what quinoa is.
