To have asked him to choose a different sandwich

i hope the cheese sandwich man’s wife makes it on here.

And has OP disclosed what she actually had for lunch?

How many posts does this thread have to get until no one can post anymore?

I think it might be a Mumsnet classic. Or make the Daily Mail. It has been brilliant.

Can't you buy bread and put something vegetarian in it ? It seems like a bit of a pointless moan to me.

It happens rarely, because 83% don't do it :) if it became normalised, shops would be much more chaotic places.

Yeah probably best in ethical terms to congratulate the man for choosing a cheese sandwich for him or his wife and grab yourself a pasta pot or something. Oh well.
Im guessing you’re stoned or something @MonderMomen77 and not thinking clearly

You do realise op was trying to get the other guy to take a meat sandwich instead of the cheese one, @MonderMomen77 ?
Where's the net benefit to the sweet little animals?

🙄

Can I just say, I totally get your reasons for asking about the possible sandwich switch. I don't think it's rude if asked politely. His wife needs to mind her own business. And I do think you should get special treatment from random people in supermarkets and elsewhere, for your excellent diet related choices! (Love from the animals....saved from suffering because of your selfless choices!) 🐷🐮🐥🐔🦆🐬💐💐💐😘😘😘

There's nothing normal about asking a stranger whether they're vegetarian or not, in an attempt to gauge whether they "need" a cheese sandwich more than you do, @xxxjanxxx.
Not to most people, anyway.

I wouldn’t have minded if you’d asked me, OP, but then I’m in the minority it seems

Is that you in disguise @Medsy ? 🤨

Op got a simple answer “excuse me, No that’s rude” but she was in her words “quite pissed off actually” 🤣

oh wow! There are some seriously weird responses on this thread.

The OP asked a simple question. The person asked could give a simple answer. The OP would accept the answer.
What is it with people on MN AIBU? ! - do they not have normal interactions with people in everyday life??

FWIW @Medsy I don't find your question to be strange/ rude/ odd/ entitled / rude / cheeky / whatever ....... and I don't think you are strange/ rude/ odd/ entitled / rude / a CF.

It was a perfectly reasonable conversation between two adults, And I genuinely don't see why so many people have a problem with you .......... ! (even though I voted for Brexit 😬 )

What you can't make a cheese sandwich yourself? Or a bit of toast? Or there was nothing else in the entire shop you could have eaten?
It's not just rude, it's like the strangers who stop you in the street and ask for money.
"Got any spare change mate? I might be on benefits, but I want to guilt you and make you feel uncomfortable until you hand over what I want."

You are being u reasonable. How do you know he does t have allergies that means he could only manage a cheese sandwich. Or if he was vegetarian he shouldn't have to answer to you. As for the gluten free excuse that's bat shit crazy, you chose to be vegetarian a gluten free person doesn't usually chose this. The reason there were less sandwiches on the shelf that weren't meat was because it's Easter weekend where many Christians (We are in a Christian county) refrain from eating meat, this is a religious choice, very similar to your choice to be a vegetarian. His wife may have well been upset that you suggested to her husband he should eat meat on Good Friday. Dont make your choices other people's problems.

I’ve got “She’s a Cheesy Lover” by Phil Collins playing in my head every time this thread pops up on my watch list.

Love a silly supermarket thread on a bank holiday weekend. The “batshit” middle aged woman is always lurking in small local Co op’s it seems. There’s always an innocent victim (the op) who is “baffled” by the MN responses too.

Solid work op 🤣

Rude and entitled!!!

You need to be quicker. One thing I can't stand is people walking round shops and supermarkets with a phone pressed to their ear asking what DH, DW, DS or DD wants to eat. Its pathetic. If you know them yiu should know.

😂😂😂 that did make me giggle

I think it's weird asking that question to a total stranger. In a group of friends, o.k., like "help me out here, anybody wants to switch sandwiches?", but surely you don't ask that of a total stranger?

She’s being a Cheesy Fucker that’s for sure

I wonder if you'll see the point of view of people voting YABU.....

Doubtful. Despite (currently) 83% voting YABU, the OP is determined to argue that she was correct, is being aggressive and sarcastic with anyone who disagrees with her, and is portraying herself really badly. She didn't get the response she wanted so apparently (she says) she's gone...

Completely proving my point... 🤦🏼‍♀️

YABU! And forward!
I'm a meat eater but always choose non- meat sandwiches.
We have a saying in our house 'little me'.
It's only little me, I should have that parking space because I deserve it more than you. Its about entitlement and dismissing others' needs and preferences in favour of your own.
You were being little me because you thought you had more right to that sandwich than the poor man you put on the spot.
I wonder if you'll see the point of view of people voting YABU.....

*why start an AIBU but then not accept when they are being told they are?

Are you new here?*

OP, you're making yourself look worse and worse 🙈

I thought you’d wrapped things up op? 🤣

🤣
