How annoying right?

Question

Does it annoy you when people say 'I'm vegetarian (other than fish)'?

It's like... well you're not vegetarian then!!! >:(

Really bugs me.. what about everyone else?

Answer 1

Yes, it's a really annoying and old fashioned idea. A fish is an animal so it follows that veggies won't eat them. Therefore, as you already know, you're not a vegetarian if you eat fish.

Answer 2

It's their life not mine. I don't get easily annoyed  by things that don't concern me becasue I'd rather use my option to ignore them or take what they say or do in stride.

What annoy me are people who meddle in other people's business because they seek attention or recognition for some trivial thing that they do. I have had employees who found that out when they received their pink slips.

Answer 3

Oh yes!!!  That really gets me going.  Vegetarians don't eat fish.

Answer 4

yes, because they are not labeling themselves correctly. The definition of vegetarian is NO MEAT.

fish = meat

therefore they are using the term incorrectly. There is no vegetarian definition that includes only eating fish.

Answer 5

Doesn't really bug me...

I use the real term for it ._. when I can spell it "Pesdo" something. SOme fish term "PSejawi0etarian" ._. or whatever.

Answer 6

I know.. Stupid pesco-vegetarians.. But actually the true definition of a vegetarian is eating foods only derived from plants, but people now call that a vegan. A lacto-ovo vegetarian is one that eats eggs and dairy as well as a plant based diet..

Kinda weird huh?? I thought it was..

Answer 7

Yes, of course it is yellow

Answer 8

Yes because they are misinformed.

People who eat only fish are pescatarians.

But, you should applaud them anyway - they eat less animal flesh than a non-vegetarian, atleast they're trying..

I don't see the need to label yourself, personally, they restrict you..

"I don't eat meat" should suffice.

Have a nice day.

Answer 9

It doesn't bug me but I am sure to correct their misinformed assumptions.

Answer 10

it doesn't bug me that much, cuz i'm glad that iam not like them.Lol

Answer 11

Yes, its funny how everyone likes

considering themselves something

they aren't.

Answer 12

yeah it does lmao.

i eat only chicken so i call myself a politarean b.c thats what someone told me it is. or i say i only eat chicken b.c i no im not a vegitarean.

Answer 13

YEAH!!

My sister one time was like I'm a vegetarian except for bacon....

It's like, WHO DO YOU THINk YOU'RE FOOLING?

Answer 14

No... i think yay, at least i can cook them fish.

Answer 15

Yeah, I find it annoying when people think that vegetarians eat some animal flesh, whether it's from sea creatures or chickens.

On the bright side -- it's kind of flattering that so many people who aren't veg want to be considered as vegetarians :)

Answer 16

annoying. Fish have meat and if you eat them, your not a vegetarian. their just to weak to admit it

Answer 17

It annoys the h**l out of me! This kind of thing results in us getting offered a prawn omelette or a tuna pasta bake in a restaurant - oh yes, I've seen it myself, even in 2008! Grrrrr!

Answer 18

It really annoys me as well.  You are NOT a vegetarian if you eat/consume any animal flesh.

Answer 19

Well, they are a vegetarian. If you don't eat anything made from anything that was living, then you're a vegan.
