An vegan runner has been given a short shrift after they asked their neighbors not to cook with their windows open because the smell of meat is 'offensive.' The unnamed jogging-enthusiast, from Berkeley, California, was criticized online after their demand made it on to a Twitter thread by Best of Nextdoor, a Twitter account dedicated to neighbor-on-neighbor pettiness. The runner, who admitted they found the smell of meat 'overpowering' when they go jogging at dinnertime, asked that their community show 'empathy for their plant-based neighbors' by closing windows while cooking, and only grilling vegetables on the BBQ.

Dear Runner Who Hates The Smell Of Cooking Meat,
Take a long run off a short pier. It's YOU who has to change, not the neighborhood! What an EGO.

Obviously this is ridiculous. Also ridiculous is the repeated use of the pronoun “they” to describe one person in a gender-neutral manner. Political correctness run amok.

Why don't the vegan runners show empathy for their meat and vegan based neighbors by staying indoors while their meat and vegan based neighbors are cooking.
To me, that seems to be the logical answer for the few who are crazy.

Tofu turns my stomach. So does kale.

Be offended all you want. As a matter of fact, if it was in my neighborhood, I'd grill out MORE.
But then, being 900 ft from the road down my driveway, and no neighbors within 400 yds, not likely that they would complain. They don't complain when I spend the day shooting in the back yard.

Thank you #3. I've also noticed that many writers refer to one person using plural pronouns. This usage has been going on a long time.... before the PC crowd took over the language so I believe few writers understand the rules of grammer.
This vegan runner is probably a millennial who wants his or her entire neighborhood to be a safe place. And as for demanding that the neighbors research the vegan lifestyle he may be behind the times. Wasn't an article posted here in the last week or so that indicated vegans were less healthy than those who ate normally??
I'll bet this individual is also loads of fun in the workplace.

Filet Mignon with Bearnaise... that's what's for dinner. This creep and neighbors are so sad. And we will continue to win over their absurdity for a while. Poor things.

It’s a one-way street for vegans when it comes to concessions: Do it my way and no other way matters!

You need to understand just how little intelligence it takes to sneak up on a vegetable.
That’s why herbivores, bless xheir widdle hearts, are not the sharpest tool in the shed!

Stop grilling meat. Put a homeless camp on your front lawn. Surrender your guns. Bake a cake for somebody you don't want to do business with. Drive an electric pos car. Pay the tuition debt of the kid living in his mom's basement down the street. Let anybody and everybody into the country and pay their bills. Vote for the guy that wants the 401k you worked forty years for. Feel guilty for being born a white straight male. OR I WILL BE OFFEND!

I'm offended by the same smells but mostly because they didn't invite me over for dinner.

Gee, I wonder how he feels when a whift of bacon circulates toward his residence. Hamburgers, hotdogs and brats on the grill; ribs, butts and briskets in the smoker for an all night cook must drive him bonkers. Liberals feel that everyone must accommodate them. I personally dont like the smell of tofu so there. This guy should accommodate me.

Subject / verb agreement is essential to literacy, and this "vegan runner's" use of plural pronouns to refer to him or herself deeply offends the language centers of my brain. I wish the idiotic and invalid genderconfusion fad would end soon, and I will never intentionally refer to an individual as "they".

If this clown was my neighbor, the act of asking me to close my windows when cooking meat would be all of the prodding that I would need to finally buy a smoker. I would finally build that outdoor kitchen that Ive been toying with for years.
I would even throw weekend BBQ's for the neighbors.

Is the DM trying to be “inclusive” by using the pronoun “they” or does the writer not know how to match up pronouns and verbs? I found the first couple of sentences so confusing that I quit reading.

He's not actually offended. It's just that the smell of cooking meat reminds his stomach and normal part of his brain of what it wants and he drools and his stomach rumbles for hours afterwards.

She'd be really offended living next to us! My husband throws a huge pork butt on the Green Egg for 16 hours and it's amazing! Puts in on the grill at 6pm and takes it off around 10am, cooked to perfection and it smells wonderful.

Not only would I make sure to get the grill as close to the street as possible, I would also do my best cow impression by breaking wind in the general direction of this vegan runner as they passed by. To quote the Floyd of Pink: "Breathe...breathe in the air..."

They refer to themselves as "they" because they are many. "We are legion." They don't need a vegan lifestyle, or more accommodating neighbors. They need an exorcist.

I believe the offended person is an individual female. Thus, the correct pronoun for her wold be
SHE and not THEY.

I wished this snowflake lived in my neighborhood. I'd throw a luau bbq in his honor by pit roasting a 90 pound pig for 24 hours.

Go start your own vegan world or commune, you self-righteous bonehead! What happened to democracy these idiots claim to love? Democracy is where the majority rules, isn't it?
