I had a weird encounter with this. When we moved to BLR, the owner of
a house we were looking to rent, wanted only vegetarian tenants. By
the time we found out I'd nearly printed the agreement. Since the
owner lived in HK/Singapore, the broker said we could just pretend we
were veg.

Except the owner's son who I'd spoken to had already begun following
me on twitter and just that morning I was raving about a beef burger.
Even if I wanted to pretend (who does?) I couldn't. Social media
eventually helps enforce social norms :)
