'Have empathy for your #plantbased neighbours': Vegan wants neighbors to cook meat with their windows closed

This runner would really, really like their neighbors to be a little more understanding, though the neighbors probably think this person is asking too much of them.

This is a wild tale of a neighbor who thinks the world should revolve around them — specifically, they'd like the neighbors to be considerate during their runs. In a post to the Boulder Collective group, this person asked as a "gentle reminder" that folks in the neighborhood who are cooking meat for dinner should shut their windows. Why? So they don't have to smell any meat cooking while they runs through the neighborhood!

I know what you're thinking — who would ever say such a thing? Is this a joke? Well, in the comments, lots of people dropped their own anecdotes about these types of situations in their own lives. Perhaps it's more common than you'd think to have neighbors concerned about what their neighborhood should smell like, or to have disagreements regarding food.

However, I hope that the vegan runner never finds out that people grill outdoors all summer long in many places! Maybe it's time for them to get an indoor treadmill if the smell is so bothersome during their daily exercise.

Next up, this friend group is really hoping that one of their friends sees the waving red flag in her BF's strange behavior while at a restaurant.
