To have asked him to choose a different sandwich

[Medsy]

Don't know if it's because it's Easter or what but my local co-ops sandwich section was totally barren, only meat sandwiches left (I'm vegetarian). I saw a man go for the last cheese one there was, so I asked him if he was vegetarian and if not, would he mind if I had it? A woman (wife?) appeared and went batshit at me and called me rude.
It made me quite pissed off actually. I wouldn't have a problem with say a gluten free person asking me if they could have the last gluten free sandwich.
WIBU?

Is that slang for something? Never hear that

What's a tulip?!

No you weren't. If you were wondering whether he was on the fence you'd have just lurked to see if he put it back. You asked whether he's veggie in an attempt to make him feel bad about choosing a shitty cheese sandwich.

I think it's fine to politely ask, just as it's fine for him to say no. Not sure why so many people are so aggrieved by this!

Entitled. Yabu.

I am vegan and would never in a million years have done this is I saw someone take the last vegan one.

@Medsy so entitled! It's your choice to be veggie!

My husband has multiple food allergies and if you'd have done this to him i'd have given you a mouthful of abuse as well!

YABU

I am always amazed at some people's entitlement.
Edit: And not in a good way!

Out of philosophy... So... Also a preference?

I find it weird that you would give me "a mouthful of abuse" and that you would need to step in for your husband

So she didn't go batshit after all.

As a fellow veggie, I get why you asked. I wouldn’t have though. It’s just tough luck. I’d have grabbed a protein milkshake, piece of fruit and a packet of crisps.

@Medsy this thread couldn't make you look any worse. Maybe time to reign it in and accept you are VERY unreasonable!

Cheesy Fucker 😂

Try being a vegan when the vegetarians come and take the last of our stuff while declaring loudly they need it (has happened a few times to me) and they say it's vegans who announce things 😂

You should've got a Ginsters instead.

I know. If it’s any consolation @Medsy, I’d have let you have the sandwich.

The woman wasn’t his bloody mum though! If he had a problem with it, he could use his words. I hate the way some women treat their husbands like children.

Never antagonise anyone in the Co op.

Yep, even by MN standards that's sanctimonious crap!

I just think it depends on whom you happen to ask. It wouldn’t have bothered me. But then I have some awful allergies so maybe it’s just understanding someone else’s issues.

He deserved to not have that sandwich for being stunned into silence by a random woman wanting his lunch. OP DOESN'T EVEN LIKE CHEESE.

He obviously wanted the cheese, which is why he didn't pick up one of the others!

What was his response?

Poor you! Don't be vegan then.

Surely you could have just bought a beef based sandwich as you aren’t concerned about the welfare of cattle.
