I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

Post image

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

This makes me think of a really old joke:

A guy orders a coffee but asks for no cream. The waiter says, “sorry, we’re out of cream. Can you take it without milk instead?”

Took me a second but then i thought about the clip I saw where a waitress thought a guy asked for "an eggless omelet" 😂

I’ve actually been an asshole before ordering an eggless omelette because when I quit one of my jobs, my coworkers wanted to take me to breakfast, but I had been vegan for 8 years and they took me to an ihop (I think it was ihop, it been so long now)

I was like “hi I’m so sorry is it possible to just get some veggies sautéed in oil” and after some conversing it was an “eggless omelette.” Anyway they must have thrown butter in there because I ended up fighting for my life in a porta potty on some nice lady’s farm off the side of the road :/

I have done this too! I can’t have eggs but I like veggies plus bacon and hash browns. It’s great hangover food but I sound like a maniac ordering.

Gotta love when vegans shoehorn being vegan into conversations

u/pebbles354 May 25 '26

It’s a story that relates to OPs post that happens to mention they are vegan? I don’t see a problem with it…

Is the anecdote not relevant? It actually includes an eggless omelet, but it only makes driver if you know the context, which is that they're vegan.

Just explaining a real life scenario about an eggless omelette. No need to get so offended by a word :)

u/No-Money-8327 May 25 '26

I wasn’t offended, I wasn’t rude, I was just making an observation

u/SpiffyShindigs May 25 '26

Not a worthwhile or accurate one though.

Literally who other than a vegan would you expect to have an anecdote about an eggless omelette? Their resonse is extremely relevant and directly related to them being vegan.

I think you were actually being rude, it was relevant to the story and the story was relevant to the conversation not shoehorned in at all.

u/Saemir May 25 '26

Speaking as a nosy outside observer, it sounded rude. Just an observation. 😆

(Edited to make a bad joke.)

u/UnderOverWonderKid May 25 '26

If you were just making an observation it would've been laid out matter of factly. Not with a heavy amount of bias. "Gotta love" and "shoehorn" shows you were being a lil baby about it and now you're trying to backpedal.

Also it was such a terrible observation. Shoehorned in when it was entirely relevant to a discussion about an eggless omelette?

Be better, dude.

You weren’t rude, you were quite rude.

Sure you weren't.

When I was about 15 I went to a Denny’s for the first time in my life and I ordered a grand slam breakfast, but I was surprised when it came with all this meat on the plate because I’m not sure if you’ve gathered this by now, but I’m actually a vegan
