I’m vegan, and if I visit someone for dinner I just tell the hosts I’ll bring a dish everyone can share that fits with their menu and that theycan make what they want for everyone else. It takes the pressure off, and I know I’ll have something to eat.

“I can eat anything, as long as it’s vegan” HAHA you are a saint, because that’s absurd

“don’t go to extra trouble, I can eat anything, as long as it’s vegan,”

No waitstaff wants to hear about your idiosyncratic dietary preferences! Just order what you can eat. Don’t make someone play a game of having to pick for you, a waiter doesn’t know all the ingredients of everything, or having to go running back to the chef to ask if pizza can be made with tofu instead of cheese.

Jessica’s diet may indeed be the root of her problems with the in-laws. I was on a city trip in Italy with a vegan friend and in every single restaurant she was treated with contempt when she explained her dietary restrictions.

As for awareness…

“Who the hell are flippin’ you?”

This article offers clear perspective on exactly why what he did on the streets was not fine. It provides insight into elements of Japanese culture that make what he did an affront to that culture.

If true, your son is a fucking moron.

If what you say is true, you should be ashamed

Your son(s) suck

Well, at least now we’ve solved the mystery of where he got his manners from.

well sorry to say but your sons a shit bag likey gets it from you thinking he can just take what he wants from funny foreigners and likely is self absorbed 

Congratulations on having a shitbag for a son, if you really are the father and not some troll. You should yank him up by the scruff of his neck and ask “what the fuck are you doing?” like a real father would.

People of Japan, we don’t like him either.
