Maybe they were. I don't think that's an excuse to be a jerk about it. I've had men in the past cancel dates with me when I told them I was vegetarian. Once, a guy actually chewed with his mouth open and cooed about how awesome meat was.

Food is really visceral. People act weird when you aren't "like" them with food.

I agree with Chelsea for frozen soups. While I wouldn't let mine thaw in my bag, masons full of frozen soup are an efficient way to do soup since you can make a huge batch and then eat it bit by bit.

My dog barks. So, rather than be patient while I work through it (he's doing so much better!), my 28-year-old neighbor has started throwing rocks at him.

I'm a long time reader, but I just registered to comment on this. I read the laundry room post. I think there were some people who went too far in their criticisms, implying that the parents don't care about or love their son. And commenters needed to be reminded of their manners, certainly. But it was an unsafe room. And even if it is a slippery slope to make safety judgements, you should explicitly address those safety concerns on posts about questionable rooms, and parents submitting rooms should provide that info. I don't think you can sit here and point your finger at the community when there was plainly a dereliction of editorial duty in publishing this post as-was. I think this situation has been mishandled at all levels.
