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

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?

Funnyperson, it may not have been your intention but you have cheered me up no end with your thread, thank you. (I promise not to beef-friend you on Facebook)

You lot are funny-like mischievous elves- of course it is fine to laugh.

I'm glad I am older and wiser though with a very thick skin.

Anyway I have sorted it because I have deleted the newsfeed and luckily I am too old to ever want to go to a youth hostel again.

It must have been offal, seeing beef on your computer screen...

Deadsouls · 13/07/2012 21:15

OlympicRingSting - Good one (applauds) - by the way I dread to think but what is an 'olympic ring sting' - conjures up some unwanted images

OlympicRingSting · 13/07/2012 21:19

I am so anti Olympics, I had to change my name for a few weeks, and my usual name is not- convertible to an Olympic moniker; (regular of many years)

FuckityFuckFuck · 13/07/2012 21:20

OP

I'm afraid that because I eat meat, all mention of a vergetarian lifestyle offends me

Please can you ask for this thread to be removed

FuckityFuckFuck · 13/07/2012 21:20

Vegetarian even

Stupid fingers

ChrisPeacock · 13/07/2012 21:22

Ha ah thats made me larf

Socknickingpixie · 13/07/2012 21:45

YABU.

people post plates of food on things like that all the time whilst i think its strange,its slightly less strange for a venue that serves food to customers to do it.

its one of those things that you dont have to look at just like the tv if you dont like it dont look.
imho
the onus is on you to defriend anybody that offends you,inless the thing that offends you breaks the law in the country you reside in or facebook rules

Shodan · 13/07/2012 21:58

Ah well.

Lesson learned, OP.

In future, be careful who you beefriend. It could end up biting you on the rump.

LadyBeagleEyes · 13/07/2012 22:17

I love this thread. We can innocently put in beef references and puns and not get deleted.
Thanks for that, OP.

BupcakesandCunting · 13/07/2012 22:19

I wouldn't stay in a hostel again, OP. The steaks are too high.

MidWeekSlump · 13/07/2012 22:37

Funnygirl you are officially the most un funny person I have ever met.
If I could I would poke you in the eye with a carrot - but as a carnivore carrots offend me - so I will not. Wink
