"You should order the Steak" "I'll get something else, I'm a vegan" "Man, you guys just won't shut up about it, will you?"
You don't have to say that you're vegan, people already flip when you just don't take the meat option.
You don't have to say that you're vegan, but it can simplify things when they either try to suggest other non-vegan options or insist that you really, really should try the steak because this one is really good
Unfortunately it often leads to people reading the menu and pointing out everything on it that is vegan, as if you don't know how menus work or are struggling to read the same menu that they are. I know people who do this have their heart in the right place, I just wish their head was also in the right place. 😅
Habits are a weird thing. I always try to imagine doing the same thing the other way around. You eat meat? All meats? Even fish? So you just don't care, oooor? They have. A nice soup, but it has no meat in it, you think that's fine for you?
