To complain if a YHA posts pictures of beef tortilla on my facebook wall (I am a vegetarian)

[funnyperson]

This morning when I checked into my facebook wall a large picture of a beef tortilla was posted on it from a Youth hostel. I am friends with this YouthHostel having stayed there with family some years ago and had a lovely time. I go because it (and others) are self catering and outdooorsy) I felt sick- I am a hindu vegetaria. I asked the hostelmanager to remove the picture from my wall but instead the hostel defriended me 'for my own protection' AM I unreasonable to think a youth hostelling association should stick to pictures of the outdoors and hostel events and avoid posting stuff which could upset people of different cultures?

If you are being serious I think you may need to talk about this with someone in real life

Just hide it.

It would be just as easy for me to say that as I am not Hindu it offended me that it was part of the subject of this thread.

But I am not becasue that would be rediculous

YABU. Why didn't you just hide it?

There was a vegan on Come Dine with Me the other week. In every other bloody sentence she mentioned her veganism in a smug and self-satisfied way. It's the first time I have turned it off.

If you aren't being funny, funnyperson, then you are a very intolerant person. Many people choose to eat meat. I have no problems with pictures of vegetables.

If it had been a graphic picture of raw meat, then you might have a point but it was cooked and mince looks like no animal I have ever seen.

Sillyperson, not funny.

This is a joke isn't it? You're mad. And on your wall? Are you sure it wasn't a generic post on their page? They don't have time to go around posting on everybody's wall surely?!

And I still think you're mad. I say that as a vegetarian.

Well I think they only want a certain kind of person at their youth hostel ie beef loving

Now it is clear this is a wind up

Beef-loving?

Good Grief, if this is the only think you've got to worry about I say lucky, lucky, you.

Obviously I hid it.
More room at the YHA for beef lovers in future.

What other things do you want people not to mention in case they offend you?

I don't suppose they mind, to be honest.

I would be concerned about sharing a dorm with you in case I offended you in some way. Do they still have dorms?

They dont mind at all. They dont want 'mad' people in their YHA who dont fit in with their ideas do they?

Its me who minds. Thats the point.

Are you going to answer me or are you offended by Dragons? It's not beef soup if that makes a difference.

This is almost as good as the after dinner hedgehog-cam thread.

If, and I really do mean if, this is serious, you really need to stop being so precious and learn to be more tolerant of the world and all its many differences.

tucks into steak

How do you ever manage to get around a supermarket without being horrifically offended?

Their idea that some people like beef? I don't think they force feed you one on arrival!

And why on earth do you think yha is about the great outdoors? They have loads in cities. Would you be offended if they sent a photo of a tower block??

Would it offend you if they posted a ?

soupdragon I wouldnt usually be 'friends' with something likely to cause me offence and (surprise) I am not easily offended.

They dont want 'mad' people in their YHA who dont fit in with their ideas do they?

no one who has ever been in a youth hostel could ever say that with a straight face.

How frigging DARE they advertise what they sell. They should always converse with you, OP, before posting anything.

Sue the bastards.

FFS get a grip

That doesn't really answer anything does it?

Clearly you are easily offended if something this stupid offends you.

You are living in a multicultural society. You ned to deal with that, not expect people to tip toe round in case they offend someone.

Mmm, sounds delicious. Don't suppose you jotted the recipe down before you deleted it did you?

"Well I think they only want a certain kind of person at their youth hostel ie beef loving".

Ah, so you have an agenda?
It seems you are the only one buying in to it though.

Honestly, your indignation is just coming across as a bit daft.
The thing that you are so massively offended about could have been removed from your vision by simply clicking the ignore button!

So, don't stay at that YH again.
Meh.

There was nothing even faintly rude on my google search

I'm scared this might be a serious thread.
