I don't think people should try to impose their views on me.
Aside from the fact that it's annoying, I'm one of the few people who try not to tell people I'm a vegetarian for fear of coming off as pompous or imposing.
People have asked me before if I mind them eating meat near me, or people have changed meals just so I can eat.
I've also been asked questions about vegetarianism while I was eating with someone who ate meat, and I find that very awkward.
I'm not going to explain all of the reasons animal-cruelty is disgusting while you're eating meat, I think that's rude and obnoxious.

Agree on all of this
A lot of times, with friends we'll be getting food and they'll ask me if I want to have some of theirs and I have to tell them that I can't, because I don't eat meat. They all gasp and say "SINCE WHEN!!!" and it's funny because I've been a vegetarian for donkey's years, but it doesn't come up. Vegetarianism is hardly unhealthy as long as you get all your vitamins and all that and don't overload on fatty things just because they dont have meat
