I guess this is what happens when you try to be nice to someone…

A Reddit user asked the fine folks on the “Am I the *******?” page if she was the person who was out of line in the interaction you’re going to read about below.

Start now and see what you think!

AITA for offering eggs to a (vegan) stranger?

“I (25f) own a few chickens. They’re more pets than livestock and I love them.

They produce a lot more eggs than I can eat, so usually, I’ll gift them to friends and family and normally people are pretty happy about that.

Last week, I spotted some interesting books on eBay. I texted the seller, she was nice, we agreed on a price and scheduled a date when I could pick them up, so far so good.

She was just trying to be nice…

That same day, I realised I had some leftover eggs and wouldn’t see anyone I usually give them to for a couple more days, so I thought “hey, I got a great price for those books, she was nice, I’ll just bring some as a small present.”

Boy, was I wrong. When I got there, everything went smoothly at first, she (middle aged woman) helped me load the books in my trunk, I gave her the money and then I reached over at my passenger seat and grabbed the eggs. I only got to “I’ve brought you a little something….” before she went absolutely nuclear on me.

Uh oh…

She screamed about her whole family being vegan, how dare I bring those atrocities onto her property, if her kids saw them they would be a huge temptation for them and so on.

She even accused me of using animals for my own satisfaction and wealth, which is obviously not true and got me pretty upset. I immediately backed up, took the eggs and got the hell out of there. She was still shouting at me when I backed out out the driveway.

I kinda chuckled to myself about how crazy that was until I told a friend about it a couple days later. She said she kinda understood the woman’s perspective, that eggs count as “triggering food” and I should be more careful offering them to people who might have a specific diet.

I honestly didn’t think anything of it at time, I’m a vegetarian myself and if someone offers me a sausage at a party, I simply politely decline. It’s not like I tried to force those eggs on her, I just thought it might be a nice thank you to someone.

By that logic you can’t gift anything to anyone you don’t know that well because it might be triggering. But I’m trying to be a good person, aware of other peoples opinions and issues.

AITA?”
