It can be low effort, passive-aggressive, insulting or derogatory towards your convictions.

People keep giving me steak house gift cards.
I'm a vegetarian. I can only eat a roll there.
I’m vegan and the number of people who can’t figure out “no animal products” is astounding. I’m so tired of “no eggs? No dairy?” like yes bitch, I don’t fuck with animals.
People act like it’s rocket science.
What? Fish is an animal?? /s
How could I forget? It always blows people’s minds that I don’t eat fish, but before I was vegan I never liked fish anyway but no one had a problem with it then.
Not according to catholics
People act like it’s rocket science.
There's always going to be a question as to where you draw the line. For example, is it okay to eat figs, even though they're pollinated by wasps that end up in them? Is it okay to eat plants grown using animal products as fertilizer? Is it okay to eat cultured meat that is many generations removed from a living animal, such that none of the material present now was part of the living animal? How about things in the animal kingdom, but outside the chordates? The ones you'd need a microscope to see? Is honey okay to eat?
There's also the issue that other people that call themselves vegan will disagree with you on what all counts.
It’s usually not that complex. If someone has a plate of chilaquiles with egg on it and I say I’m vegan I don’t think it’s hard to discern that I’m probably not going to eat it.
Egg is obvious if you know what the difference is between vegetarian and vegan in the first place, but I don't think you can expect most people to be able to cook vegan food, even if they're trying, and know the basic definition. I know enough non-obvious uses of animal products(like shellac on fruit), that I'd have no confidence in being able to avoid them all unless I grew everything myself.
To be fair, the person you're responded to said "vegetarian" not "vegan." But yes, otherwise, it isn't rocket science. My vegan boys are big fans of seitan.
Either way, a Steak House is probably not a place they're interested in.
Maybe they have impossible steak!
Which is actually amazing for tacos and as an added bonus is you don’t get those nasty grizzly parts
Hail seitan!
Right. I guess people mix up the two a lot so for me it’s just easier to say “no animal products” plainly.
Are you full vegan or just vegetarian?
If it's for Ouback Steakhouse, you could always have a Bloomin Onion if you're okay with eggs and milk.
But otherwise, yeah, not much else on the menu for ya.
Don't forget salad. Outback is largely one of the worst if you're vegetarian unfortunately. Most steakhouses at least have a few vegetable sides and can make a meal out of them.
Vegetarian but I may as well be vegan since my stomach can't handle eggs or much dairy.
I'm vegan, and my agency gave me a gift card to Zaxby's, and it wasn't even loaded
Perhaps that's why, to annoy you.
