Nowadays dramas need very little reason to ensue. They can literally be caused upon any topic, you just need one thing to feel offended about and there you will have a full fledge drama set in place. One important thing for drama to be caused is that the topic has to be sensitive. One topic that is very sensitive these days to people is a topic related to food, specifically dietary preferences. These days there are so many different types of foods that people like to eat and so many different foods that people prefer not to eat, and they have their reasons for that. And those reasons and preferences must be respected. You cannot tell a vegan to eat meat because you like eating meat, or you cannot disrespect a vegan for saying they do not support animal cruelty which is why they don’t eat meat or dairy products. It is what it is! Today’s story, as you may have already guessed, is about not respecting this dietary preference. OP shares on the infamous subreddit ‘Am I The A$$hole?‘ that she is a vegetarian and everyone in the family knows about it, even her sister-in-law. One time, OP’s SIL along with her family came over to OP’s house and she decided to cook a meal for everyone. Knowing that OP was a vegan, she still cooked a non-vegan meal and when OP told her she couldn’t eat it because it is non-vegan, SIL responded by saying she will just have to deal with it because she is not cooking a separate meal for her. This caused a proper drama to ensue. Scroll down below to read how it all went down.
#1 A drama on diet preference, this will be interesting.
#2 OP has been a vegetarian for over a decade and everyone in the family knows about it, even her sister in law.
#3 One night OP’s sister in law cooked a non-vegetarian dinner for the whole family. OP said he couldn’t eat it and got told to deal with it by eating or not eating the food.
#4 OP decided to have a salad instead because no way he was going to eat the food her SIL cooked. This of course made the SIL mad as she called OP an AH for disrespecting her.
#5 OP should tell her brother what his wife did with her.
#6 She is following a code “Your house, my rules” that does not make any sense at all.
#7 She went out of her way to start a drama.
#8 She did it on purpose.
#9 Next time tell them to stay at a hotel when they come to New York.
#10 She was eagerly waiting for a day to come when she could finally confront OP for being non-vegetarian.
#11 OP was NTA!
The tantrum thrown by OP's SIL was absolutely worthless and had no meaning to it. She knew very well that OP does not eat non-vegetarian food and hasn't been eating it for over 10 years. Had it been just a few weeks, this "mistake" could've been acceptable but we are talking years here. A simple solution to this could've been a separate meal cooked for OP. She had already decided she was going to cook all that food that was going to take her 3 hours to cook. She could've cooked a non-vegetarian meal simultaneously which would've taken 30 to 40 minutes max, and OP would've been a happy woman.
SIL being all dramatic about the situation shows she is the true AH here by staying at OP's house and not respecting her dietary preference.
#12 I know right, this is what entitlement does to you.
#13 She spent 3 hours to cook all that. It is impossible that not once did it occur to her that her SIL does not eat meat.
#14 Yeah, she seems to have a mental problem.
#15 She cooked that meal to show her hate for people who eat non-vegetarian food.
#16 It wasn’t even a proper meal what she cooked.
#17 OP’s SIL must never be allowed to stay at her house.
#18 Exactly what I said. It’s not like it would’ve exhausted her more by cooking a simple non-vegetarian dish for OP.
#19 She said that while staying at OP’s house…for free.
#20 Does not make any sense.
#21 Stay tuned for more stories!
