Do you eat shrimp that is not de-veined?

I don't know if it is irrational or not, but I can't eat shrimp that isn't de-veined. For example, I ordered a shrimp dish recently and couldn't bring myself to eat the shrimp, seeing the black line of you know what running through them.
What's the consensus view on this? |

| No way, that's their poop-shoot. You should have sent it back. |

| I avoid it. I wouldn't eat shrimp in a restaurant that isn't deveined, but when I'm served shrimp in the peel at someone's house I try to discreetly de-vein it before eating. So gross. |

| No, no. It's gritty and it's (as you know) excretory matter. |

| Never thought about it. Great, something else to bother me.... |

| I don't particularly mind it, though I generally worry about a restaurant that doesn't devein visibly dirty shrimp. |

It didn't bother me when I was younger because my mother always told me that the black stuff was "spices" (she denies it now....). I was horrified to learn the truth in a zoology class. |

| If they are very small I don't mind. For medium or large shrimp though they need to be deveined before I would eat them. |

If I am paying for an expensive meal, then I expect them to remove the shit from my shrimp.

| Shrimp poop? No thanks. I can't eat it either. It disgusts me. |

| I eat it but I only eat wild caught USA shrimp. Farm shrimp are fed sewage. |
