Waiting for the elevator today to take me upstairs to buy stamps for my rent check, a random lady asked if I was getting ready to stuff myself on “Turkey Day.” I hesitated for a second before just saying, “yeah.” Then I realized that I had found the statement mildly offensive, and then I realized that that’s a ridiculous thing for me to find offensive. For one, it’s obviously my decision not to eat meat, and besides the fact that I just think “Turkey Day” is a stupid-ass term, I still do “stuff myself” on Thanksgiving full of stuffing, cranberry sauce, potatoes, beans, rolls, pie, etc. Secondly, for some reason I was momentarily offended that the lady would assume that I celebrated Thanksgiving, before realizing that this was even stupider than being offended she wasn’t being vegeratian-sensitive. When did I become such a wuss?
