"You two are incompatible."

Fast food restaurants are practically everywhere. They offer tasty snacks and meals served at a quick pace, making them perfect for everyone.

The tradeoff is that their food is not the most beneficial choice health-wise. It's packed with fat, preservatives, and processed ingredients.

Everyone knows this but fast food has become a staple in a lot of people's diets. It's not an everyday kind of meal but having it from time to time gives a certain sense of satisfaction.

Surprisingly, more fast food joints are offering vegetarian and even vegan options these days. The choices are still limited but it's a start.

A vegetarian 26-year-old recently went on Reddit for advice. He and his girlfriend went to a McDonald's and had a massive fight caused by the chain's chicken nuggets.

OP and his girlfriend have been together for almost a year. He has been a vegetarian for a year longer than that but he doesn't really discuss it with his girlfriend because she is not a fan of the lifestyle.

She is also a picky eater and finds a lot of food disgusting. Except for McDonald's — she likes most, if not all, of the food on their menu.

On this particular day, OP bought himself a veggie burger and fries while his GF chose the 20-piece chicken nugget for herself as a treat. They were eating peacefully when his GF started making comments about OP's food.

She commented on how weird it was for him to eat at McDonald's as a vegetarian and how he must hate the veggie burger but bought it since he had no other choice

OP got irritated by her comments but chose to think of them as silly jokes. She didn't sense his irritation since she made fun of him for being vegetarian soon after.

She said, "at least I don't eat grass," completely unprompted

OP replied that at least he didn't eat "shredded chicks." She looked at him in shock and asked what he meant.

OP explained his belief that chicken nuggets were made from chicks thrown in the shredder. Hearing this, his GF choked and threw up on their table before OP could ask what was wrong.

She then cried and sank into the seat out of embarrassment. She ran out of the restaurant and left OP stranded when he tried to apologize to her.

They live together and she luckily let OP into his house. She was packed and ready to leave for her mother's house when OP got there. She also said he was a jerk for saying those things when he knew how she would react. Did he take it too far?

The top comment said OP was the jerk for lying about how chicken nuggets were made and ruining his GF's meal. Their shenanigans probably disturbed the other customers as well.

However, the verdict of the sub is they both equally suck. They both got under each other's skin and made the crew clean up the mess.

Someone pointed out that the verdict proved the subreddit is biased against vegetarians and vegans

A lot of people also sided with OP and said his knowledge of chicken nuggets is irrelevant because his GF made fun of him first

OP simply retaliated after being made fun of out of the blue for eating a veggie burger

Redditors had a hunch that this is not the first sign that their relationship is not working well

To OP's credit, he went to McDonald's because he knows she likes the food there even though it limited his food choices. His GF shouldn't have made fun of him for it.

Their relationship sounds exhausting. They aren't kids, so why are they hurting each other over food choices?

Are they incompatible or do they both suck equally that they're perfect for each other?

OP posted an update and started it with a few additional details to answer some of the messages he got after posting

It sounds like his GF's mom has mediated some of their fights before because she handled this beautifully

They both realized how childish they behaved and his GF plans on visiting a doctor for a check up

This story made them sound like the most immature 20-something-year-olds. Who makes fun of someone for eating a veggie burger after asking them to accompany you to a place that doesn't offer a lot of options?

For two people who have been living with each other, they don't seem like they know how to handle their disagreements. Well, they are at least trying to do better — good for them.
