to wear leather when meeting a vegetarian?

[SexlessinSeattle]

My office is a casual office and people wear leather jackets. My friend, who sits in the next cubicle and with whom I go out for lunch sometimes, is a vegetarian.

AIBU to wear a leather jacket?

Why hold back? Wear a neckless of sausages as well.

Are your shoes and handbag vegan as well? Just wear what you would normally wear, dont sweat it.

I'm a vegetarian and I often wear a leather jacket. You're fine.

Well there's a reasonable chance you already west leather shoes around her

I'd wear Lady Gaga's meat dress and see if she notices

Er...no. Unless you are planning on adopting everyone's life choices?

I'm a vegetarian - there is zero chance I would notice what you are wearing.

Do you eat vegetarian at lunch? Anyway vegetarians wear leather don't they and eat dairy products. Thought it was vegans that went the whole hog.

Presumably when you lunch with her you eat meat?

She's vegetarian because of religion. I just don't want to offend her as she's a very good friend. Great that it doesn't seem offensive based on the replies :)

It's fine. I'm guessing you'd eat meat at lunch with them?

Iggii

No, we go to a vegetarian restaurant.

No U at all. Has she said something about it?

I do t know any vegetarians who are offended by other people eating meat around them.

Thought it was vegans that went the whole hog.

😂

I'm vegetarian and wouldn't be offended. If it was a nice jacket I'd probably compliment you on it!

I'm a vegetarian and I'd be more offended if you felt I was judging what you wear/eat than I would be at the sight of leather. You'd have to be pretty far up your own ass to be offended by clothing IMO.

Has she said something about it?

No. I haven't worn it. I just want to make sure it's not offensive.

I doubt that she will mind, as surely there will be a lot of other people in your workplace in leather shoes. It is nice of you to consider her feelings though

Ask her if it's likely to disgust her. She's your friend, it isn't going to be weird to say it.

No! You must weave a sackcloth out of lentils immediately.

Fuck sake

Seriously?

Actually laughing out loud here but I'm not sure if it's with you, or at you

I used to have a vegan colleague. She didn't like me.

I suppose it might have been down to my full-leather motorcycle gear, but I couldn't afford the armoured alternatives, and she wasn't offering to pay...

No offensive to me, and it also wouldn't bother me if you ordered meat (I wouldn't insist on a vegetarian restaurant every time but it would be nice sometimes)

As long as you don't try to change my views then I won't try to change yours

Actually laughing out loud here but I'm not sure if it's with you, or at you grin grin grin

Ok, I'm glad I'm able to have made you happy.
