Well I genuinely was handed a pack of these things and I genuinely am a vegetarian.

My thoughts exactly - I can only presume that your I AM A VEGETARIAN badge was temporarily obscured by your anorak. These people are not mind-readers, it is your duty to ensure that your badge is visible at all times.

Like I said, the dossiers!

These corporations know everything about you, it's part of their strategy. Their dossiers are alarmingly comprehensive.

Tesco knows everything about you if you've got a Clubcard.

I can take a joke but this is pushing it. Everyone that isn't blinded by the glare of my halo can tell that I don't do meat just by looking at me .

I was handed a copy of The Stylist this morning at the station - I was disgusted, my dishevelled and raggedy appearance should imply I clearly have no interest in style. I mean its a disgrace, what if non stylish child had been given it, who knows what vile clothing they might be inspired to wear.

Its an outrage, especially for me with disabled relatives.

:rotfl:

Totally personifies a lot of posters on here!

Where were you when this outrageous occurence, er, occured? I'm a bit hungry you see.

Anyone else picturing meat-based products raining down upon OP's head like a scene from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs?

I always thought being a vegetarian rotted the brain. Now I am convinced.

If you thought that it's probably because your brain has been rotted by meat. Don't worry, though, it's reversible so long as you just think that.

Now I am convinced.

Oops.

No the meat has rotted our brains and the OP believes the brain is replaced with a crystal ball, this makes us all cykick (sorry cant spell).

Precisely! That is what makes it so outrageous to be handed meat when it's reasonable to expect that everyone knows you're a vegetarian! It's like giving a recovering alcoholic a two for one cocktail voucher. Actually, it's worse than that, it's like giving them a taster sample of the cocktail itself! Except this is more offensive, because at least alcoholics want the booze on some level!

It was in Cardiff city centre. I advise you to stay away from these communist infidels, who knows what they will foist upon your gentle self!
