A lot of committed vegans I know don't sweat over it if mistakes are made on the "vegan" menu. They advise the staff politely, discarding what they can by hand and eating that they can't. Wasting a meal makes a mockery of the point of being a vegan in many ways.

This teenager possibly gets it. Dad is intentionally overdoing it. There is a lot we can learn about how to do better politics here. Perfection is the enemy of the good.

Edit: Obviously allergies and diseases are a whole other thing. There is a reason getting it right is still very important, but if that's the case nobody is messing around, especially not Dad.

I remember hearing a dunk on vegans a while back that went “how do you know someone’s vegan? they’ll tell you.”

but in my experience it’s more like “how do you know someone hates vegans? they’ll tell you.”

Sounds like Dad's heart is in the right place.

Vegans aren't a problem. Why would you care about what another person chooses not to eat?

Holier-than-thou vegans with pamphlet level arguments they force upon everybody are a problem.

Thankfully there aren't too many of those around. Less than Jehova's Witnesses, at least.

It does seem like America in particular has a cult of people hating on vegans, and I gotta ask; why do you think you're better than them, if you're expressing the same attitude as the worst kinds of vegans?

The one time it's completely appropriate to tell people you are vegan is when they ask what you want to eat...

I swear, the whole "You know if someone is a vegan because they'll be sure to tell you" thing is a total myth. Never seen it once in my life.

Person: "Vegans won't shut up about being vegan"

Vegan: embarrassed sigh

Person: "They're constantly telling me about it."

Vegan: hiding behind something

Person: "I just don't get it! They've got leather clothes. Where do they think wool comes from? Protein is nutrious! Are they too good for eggs?!"

Vegan: Slinking out the back door

Sounds more like a teenager problem than a vegan problem

That girl has to shut up about her veganism no one cares but she constantly brings it up. /s

Hahaha, my parents do this too. I don't get what perverse satisfaction they get from it

I forgot that dragon roll is a real thing for a second, and thought that the joke was implying eating dragon is vegan.

Also, doesn't a dragon roll usually have shrimp in it?

Spot on for my Dad. Don't tell parents anything at all about personal things anymore. I'm not even vegan by any means. They just sneak lactose into everydamnthing as a sweetener and I prefer not taking earth-shattering shits every time I somehow miss it and being in pain when I wake up.
