I'm sorry to be the asshole in this thread but if you're on a restrictive diet and pregnant to boot, I'm not sure why you aren't traveling with a back up lunch/food stash just in case you encounter douchery.
Douchery is everywhere. It's reasonable to whine, imo.
The whole 'everyone eats meat' thing is really weird.
The meat will go to waste, unless people are really friendly and all, 'Throw that in my mouth for ten points!'. Just offer spaghetti salad or potato and egg salad or something. They have that everywhere and it's cheap.
And yet she's crying real tears and hoarding cookies, chips, and vitamin water under her desk instead of bitching for a minute and eating her damned food.
Interesting.
I ate my leftovers as soon as I got back to my desk. I have a bag of food/fruit/healthy snacks I bring with me every day. I wasn't crying hungry, I was wtf'ing that they didn't think there might be a vegetarian in the group.

Wait, these are the non-meat options??
I changed my mind. TEAM TOLEDO!
GIVE US US MEAT!!
There are more, lol, I just threw those out there.
Greek salad Pasta with marinara sauce Rolled sandwiches Fruit salad Bagels/rolls/cheese
Sorry, Motzie, that's an annoying situation for sure. I'm glad you got some food!
My work lunch beef is even pettier: we had a lunch event for our 20-person office today; the big boss and I are both vegetarian (and maybe there are one or two more, I can't remember). They nicely ordered a veggie option, but the meat eaters scarfed most of it down before I could grab a plate! Now, I'm not saying meat eaters should be forced to the back of the line, but when you know there are vegetarians, don't eat all their options before they get a chance!

I don't think interesting is the word you're looking for.
Try whiny, annoying, or melodramatic. Those might work.
1. Scotty, your bag of sausages brightened my day.
2. OP, I would have sobbed had I been pregnant and that happened to me. I would probably cry even not pregnant. Being promised something delicious and then not getting it sucks ass.
3. Vegetarians should not have to pick the meat off their sandwiches. Gross. I love meat and I still get that.

Seriously? Her reaction was to go to the fridge and get her leftovers and privately feel shitty that she didn't get a special treat.
Quit projecting this major meltdown scenario that didn't happen, Crazy!

I don't pick meat off of things when there isn't a veggie option, I would rather just go without and eat the snacks I have hoarded in my desk later. I had to do this more than once at my old job.
She is PREGNANT! She has the right to cry over food, forfuckssake!!!!!!
It's ok, motzie, I'll kick all the meanies in the shins for you. I've never seen a work lunch with no vegetarian option. Heck, I often eat the vegetarian option even though I eat the meat, because they order about 50-50, so that crazy meat eaters can get their meat, but the rest of us can deal with whatever we are given.
and scotty is cracking me up in this thread. :heart:
Let's be fair here, being vegetarian is not really a restrictive diet...it's actually a very common dietary choice and it IS suprising that there is not even a handful of veggie sandwiches.
Whenever I have been at lunch meetings there are usually a few veggie-friendly options- sounds like someone really dropped the ball for this catering!
Uhm, I think you're confusing the words restrictive and common.
Vegetarianism may not be uncommon but that doesn't mean it isn't a restrictive diet.
