As far as stories about vegans stirring up some unnecessary drama goes, this one right here very well might take the cake. What we have is one wedding guest who is pretty much just minding their own business, only to later on be bothered by another belligerent vegan who naively assumes that they'll just be able to have another person's vegan meal. Well, that's not really how the world works. What is it with weddings bringing out the very worst in people?

    Font - O 2 S 1 AITA for not trading my vegan meal with vegan who got a non vegan meal? Not the A-hole When I was invited to a friend wedding I got a card to indicate which meal I wanted. They were offering a choice of a meat dish or a vegan dish. The meat dish they were going to serve is one of my least favorite things. When I eat it I have to spit it out and feel like gagging because it taste so bad to me. Since I have such an aversion to the meat dish I decided to check off as wanting the vega

    Font - Some of the people at my table notice obey us of the other guests at a neighboring table is having issues because they got served the meat dish instead of the vegan dish and they are vegan. The waiter goes back to check in the kitchen to get her a vegan dish. Meanwhile my table is being served and I get the vegan dish I ordered. One of the people at my table noticed that I have a vegan dish. He knows I am not a vegetarian/vegan so he questioned if I got the lady at the neighboring tables

    Font - By this time the waiter comes back and explains to the lady that there was a mistake and they do not have another vegan dish as they were only told a certain amount of vegan dishes. So a guy from lady's table comes over to me and asks me to trade. I told him I really can't stand the meat dish. He gets argumentative and says it's doesn't matter if I don't like it, I can still eat it and she can't. I said no again. He says I'm being a picky little baby and tries to take the plate. Than anot

    Font - Later when it's time for cake I get a vegan dessert. It looks just as good as the cake, but I think about offering to trade the vegan dessert with the lady as I see she got the cake. I ask others at my table. They say not to because it will just get the man mad again and they saw that he was drinking a lot so I don't. Later as everyone is leaving though I hear a comment from the guy again saying that me "the fake vegan" apparently has issues with cake too. Edit. Apparently a lot of people

    Font - NTA. I worked a lot of weddings. This isn't your fault, it is the venue's fault (or caterer). If the wedding has multiple options to allow guests to choose from in advance, then the chef or manager is to ensure there is enough for the wedding. I.e. where I worked, they even have a couple of extra options on hand (I.e. a extra vegetarian dish) just in case something happens. Besides, there are also incidents where a person would get serve the other meal option if there is an allergen in th

    Rectangle - VeritatemQuarens · 18h Partassipant [3] NTA, that man was being so obnoxious and entitled.
