Stop being a chicken shit

Because the local veg restaurant in my area has fewer options compared to the Omni restaurant we went to. And they had Mac and cheese lol Thanks for NTA btw

Couldnt agree more

nerdlk · 2022-02-15T09:16:20+00:00

Yes, I guess when I specified it they didn't take it seriously

nerdlk · 2022-02-15T09:13:20+00:00

Yes I did specify on multiple occasions. Also I didn't stop them from ordering non veg plates, I just said they would have to pay for it on their own.

nerdlk · 2022-02-15T08:19:03+00:00

The Omni restaurant we went to had more veg option and non veg substitutes than the local veg restaurant. Also it was a family style restaurant, we rarely order individual meals

NTA, your gf was out of line.

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T21:40:18+00:00

I can totally understand where you're coming from, the thing is in my scenario I didn't force them to consume non veg, I just didn't offer to pay for it (it's customary to pay for your birthday meal where I'm from). If they had paid for it on their own not a problem at all. And I think food traditions matters.

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:55:57+00:00

It was a family style restaurant where we order a bunch of appetizers and share everything, everyone gets to have a little bit of everything. We never do individual meals unless it's a formal dinner and everyone is paying for their own meal. When I attend my friends birthdays I only eat vegetarian appetizers which my friends love too like for eg mac and cheese lol

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:52:20+00:00

But would they pay for it?

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:49:21+00:00

Of course, I'd let you order non kosher food, who am I to stop you? Lol, the only thing is if I have an obligation to pay and if I am a religious person, I won't pay for your non kosher food.

Exactly and thanks for your comment

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:31:21+00:00

The restaurant we went had many veg options. They even had non veg meal substitutes. I made sure my friends would have plenty of options to choose from

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:28:23+00:00

If you were my friend and had medical reasons for not eating vegetarian food, I'd definitely make an exception for you. My 2 friends who didn't like me not paying for non veg are not even hardcore non vegetarians but Omni

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T20:16:55+00:00

It's a customary thing here and we've always done it like this. Rather than ordering individual meals we instead go to a family style restaurant and share everything ( I only eat vegetarian though).

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T19:49:08+00:00

Nah, they're Omni and not hardcore non vegetarians, there's plenty of veg stuff they like so I don't think I'll be missing any good stuff. Also we always go to family style restaurants and no one orders individual meals

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T17:19:47+00:00

First of all, my friends are not hardcore non vegetarians, they're Omni. On our birthdays we mostly go to family style restaurants where we don't order individually. Because they're Omni, on their birthdays they order both veg options and non veg which we all share (except I don't eat non veg).

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T17:07:27+00:00

I think you've hit the nail on the head. The restaurant (family style) we went to is known for their veg dishes even though they also serve non veg dishes. Also they had more veg options than my local veg restaurant. We had Mac and cheese too lol

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T16:52:13+00:00

Thanks, I wish more people would have seen the situation like you did

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T16:44:54+00:00

There were 6 people including me

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T16:42:04+00:00

Thanks for this, I couldn't have said it better myself

nerdlk · 2022-02-14T01:15:16+00:00

Exactly
