I think my biggest regret is saying that I'm vegan at work. Now people talk about what they ate over the weekend or whatever, remember that I'm vegan, and then start talking about their reasoning behind why eating fish is okay. I didn't ask bro
And it's like, I care, but you don't want to have the conversation and I don't have time for it in the brief spaces where we can talk.
My favorite story after I came over to the veganside:
At my last job a co-worker called my for help on a system and went on a 5 minute unprovoked tirade about vegans. Like just went off and went down the list checking each carnist talking point along the way. Just very unhinged.
After he got done, I said " you know I'm vegan, right?"
This mother fucker went on and said " oh well I don't care what vegans eat as long as they don't shove it down my throat."
And I'm not even joking but the next thing he fucking said was "you eat chicken tho right?"

You can't write this shit.
I thought I'd just say I was vegan early to prevent the awkwardness of denying every offered meal, as a treat.
