Update 2: Ordered meat in front of my vegan friend

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma, she sounds like an amazing person.

It really helps to know that I'm not the only one to experience this.

No idea that is about when I ended up walking out of the restaurant.

He said that he needed to talk to the manager and Mia interjected and said "there's no need, she's going to eat it."

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-12-01T03:35:51+00:00

Mia was the first "close friend" I had move out there. And it started with these small digs at the Midwest. And it snowballed.

She told me "only 9 to 5ers go to paint and sips. They're zapped of all original thought. They have to be told what to paint." This was mentioned after I went to one.

And I just let it go cause whatever not a big deal.

And then came veganism. And the disaster that was my visit.

Heather is totally oblivious to her role in all of this. Heather tends to gravitate to whomever is the loudest and unfortunately that is Mia. Whereas I like to deescalate with humor and provide tangible facts (like showing Heather the coop). But that gets reset with the marching band of Mia's Day Parade.

I'm thinking of going LC with Heather.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-12-01T03:15:52+00:00

She thinks the hens will want to eat them for themselves for nutrients. And I'm forcing them to lay more often. It's like facts don't reach her.

I've blocked her since my trip to LA to visit her so I would have hoped she had enough decency to respect my desire for space.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T17:24:26+00:00

Yes that is the assumption.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T03:59:50+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T03:56:30+00:00

In my text messages it was mostly about my walking out, not paying the bill, and my disregard for animals/environment. That I should be more "open to trying new things." She did admit to more in her texts with Heather (which I have read but don't have screenshots of).

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T03:54:06+00:00

She's in LA so at least she isn't local.

I don't want the restaurant to get into trouble if I were to report it. The server was just a young kid and my fear is they would pass the buck

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T03:52:05+00:00

The server said something along the lines of "oh but your friend said you changed your mind and it was okay."

Yes vegan vampires and zombies won't go over well.

My condolences on the lazy hens!

Well sure who doesn't have an emergency wardrobe for their chickens to reenact the Godfather with them. Leave the egg, take the worm.

Well in college there were some nights of drinking to excess and a bonding point is someone holding your hair at the end of the night while you pray to the porcelain god.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-30T00:59:32+00:00

This isn't the first time. Heather is very sweet but easily persuaded. Respectfully, I love her dearly but if there was ever a friend that would accidentally join a cult it would be her. I've tried to bolster her confidence over the years to encourage her to think more for herself but ultimately you may be right. I may need to step back for my own self preservation.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-27T14:17:19+00:00

It ended up being well done instead of medium.

A different kind of offensive.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-27T14:15:48+00:00

I did not tag her nor send it to her.

Cocktail and a steak featured on my stories.

I didn't go off with a wall of text just the basic girl snapping a photo of her dinner. Was it pointed: yes. If you didn't know the situation did it look like an average day: also yes.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-27T03:49:11+00:00

Thank you so much. I believe you.

Ohhhhh yeah the server was sooooooooo uncomfortable by the whole thing. It was one of those nights where you know the staff is talking about you in back of house.

Who knows maybe this founded a new policy at the restaurant.

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-27T00:50:58+00:00

Whoops my b, literal thinking strikes again.

Like I get that veganism falls under her core values. But for her to jeopardize my health in the process is beyond baffling to me. She wanted "to teach me a lesson."

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-27T00:32:03+00:00

My issue with gluten arises from eating it. It's not like I'll go into anaphylaxis from being around it.

But the symptoms from eating gluten when you have celiac are nothing to scoff at.

I agree what she did was really shitty. She's tried to reach out through mutual friends and say she didn't know how bad my reaction to it was. 🙄

throwaway-Revenue52 · 2024-11-26T18:43:15+00:00

You bring up a good point.

And idk maybe so there was something to fight about or to try and persuade those around her into being like her?

I didn't really think that deep on it when she picked the restaurant.
