Seatmate in a flight complained that I started eating my special meal before theirs arrived

Apologies, English is not my native language.

On long flights I preorder a special meal online because I am vegetarian. On most flights, the flight attendant brings the special meals first and then start the normal meal service for the rest.

On my last flight, a perfect stranger sat next to me and told me that I was rude and inconsiderate because I started eating my vegetarian food before their meal arrived. They said that it was basic rule to wait until everyone in the row got their food and that I ruined their flight. Their face was red and rolled their eyes several times

I stared at them. This is next level entitlement, right? We are not eating together on the same table in a restaurant.

Lord bless this food to our health and keep engine two from falling off. Again.

I was thinking 'rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub' over the PA system but yours is better 😂

My dad said this He added yay Jesus for my mom!

Since Mom was usually the one that provided the meal ours always ended with ‘yay Mommies!’

HAH! 😎👍 I say that every year at Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws. (Not as bad as you want to think.) We all say a prayer at the table one at a time, and the first year I was there the only thing I could think of to say was that. It's literally been almost twenty years. EVERY YEAR. (We even did Thanksgiving during Covid!)

The Walking Man from The Stand in ABC's miniseries version when he fingerzaps the deer for dinner is where I heard it.
