Description
True story. It happpened to me. I'm not vegan, I just don't eat meat. Some people simply can't understand it. I had some friends that could pull my leg about everythings, from ponies to my unshaved legs. Yet, they think that the most weird and shameful thing about me is that I don't eat meat. That's fine, I suppose, because I'm not ashamed by it at all. I'm not an activist, either. Most people just find that I don't eat meat when I ask them for cookies because I couldn't find any meatless thing to buy (it happens more often than it should). But when it escalated to the point that my co-workers started to shake beefs under my nose and threatened to put it in my food, I started to feel annoyed. Really really annoyed.Previous: [link]

That sucks. People used to be the same with me about my not drinking alcohol. I don't like it, I don't need to drink it, but just because everyone else does and it's 'cool' that doesn't mean they can force it on me. >( They'd say stupid things like 'Well you just didn't find any you like' or other such excuses. It's so dumb.

Ooops, I forgot to say that they are ex-co workers.
They were nice people, they simply couldn't take it seriously that I don't eat meat. -__-"

Laughs.
As long as you're accept that I'm not veggie, everything else you say is good with me (including my not seeing why you should shave your legs). I'm a pretty reasonable cook, and usually make full-on Vegan bean or lentil dishes (nothing to do with ethics; just that if they don't need milk products it's as easy to do any frying they need with veg oil as with butter).

The shaving thing is because here, in Brazil, we have much more hot months that in most of the North Hemisphere (about 8 or 9 out of 12 in hot years, about 6 out of 12 in regular years). Which means more months using shorts instead of pants. At some point, someone decided that girls showing their unshaved legs in those hot months are negligent with their hygiene and repulsive. Only girls, of course. Guys are naturally hairy beasts, the hairier, the better.
Most of the time, I don't bother with shaving my legs. Either I use long skirts, or I turn the 'if you don't like, don't look' mode on and use shorts with my hairy legs. My mother cringes every time she looks at it. xD

That basically has to do with the USians, and how their image of female beauty has hair for head, eyebrows and eyelashes, and possibly, ah, between her legs. They would expect you to shave (or wax) arms, legs and underarms. Never mind details like how hair is used in nature for managing perspiration.

Well, not only USians. The "Brazilian" wax has its name for a reason, you know? A sad, sad reason. -__-"

I'd taken that as a comment on perceived popularity of the treatment and on Copacabana bikinis rather than meaning that youse (Old Scots word for second person plural, not a typo) invented it!

It's called a "Brazilian" because Brazilian women do that or almost that, sometimes even in the winter. The first time I went to a beach, my mother made wax everything. Everything. Now I know that I can stand torture without telling my captors what they want.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge.
