10 Awkward Situations That Only Happen To Vegetarians (In GIFs!)

Meat eaters just don’t get it.
April 16, 2014

These days, being a vegetarian isn't as hippie-dippie as it used to be. In fact, it's pretty common! Even so, there are still tons of scenarios where not eating meat can make things a tad uncomfortable...like these:

1. Your boyfriend brings you to his parents' house for dinner for the first time...and they slap a steak down on your plate.


2. You're heating up your super-healthy black bean quinoa veggie burger in the office microwave, and your douche-y frat boy of a co-worker informs you that it looks like bird poop.


3. At dinner out, you tell your server that you're a vegetarian and ask if you could have the entrée minus the meat. He asks you if you would like it on the side instead.

4. You forgot to bring vegetarian fixings to your friend's summer cookout, so you put wilted lettuce and tomato slices on a potato bun, slather it with ketchup and mayo, and call it dinner. #Fail.


5. ...And then some random dude tells you that you brought your situation upon yourself and could avoid such #fails if you just ate meat like a normal human being. You channel your inner Kevin Gnapoor...


6. You're walking by a PETA protest with your boss, and she asks you if you want to join them. Instead of launching into your "not all vegetarians are into picket signs" speech, you pretend like you don't hear her to side step the issue.

7. At your friend's wedding, everyone at your table is eyeing your veggie pasta all enviously because their roasted chicken looks sad and dry. You try not to look too into your meal, which is hard because every bite tastes like heaven.


8. You order the veggie chili, take one bite, and realize that it has meat in it…

9. Your boyfriend really, really, really wants you to try his favorite burger, and he asks you if there's any way you would be down for trying at least one bite.


10. Another study comes out that finds that vegetarians are healthier, will live longer, and are generally more awesome than meat eaters. Commence gloating.
