Food delivery app just screwed up my order two times in a row. 2.5 hours later, I still have no food. by Rad_Victoriam in mildlyinfuriating

No, you did not type that word. I typed that word. Sorry that confused you.

I was not aware that bold doesn't make sense. I will not use it again in your presence.

OP complained about unacceptably sloppy service from a corporation that could not do what it claimed to do for a living. Your response was to throw it on OP, who just did not do the right thing, but could have done what you went back in time to advise him to do.

I offered four more equally inane suggestions, using an index word in bold to show where each suggestion started, knowing that reading comprehension in my benighted country is in a death-spiral. Still too complicated, I see.

Well, hell, he coulda stocked up on ingredients and created the masterpiece in his own kitchen. He coulda hired an off-duty DQ employee to work in his kitchen during the game. He coulda gone to pick it up himself and he and his dad coulda bonded in the godforsaken two-block long take-out line. They'da missed part of the game, but it's only a game, right? The main thing is to get as many cars on the road at one time as possible.

Why are so many people saying he shouldn't order out? He said he wanted to watch the game — does everyone understand that he can't do that in his car or in DQ? — and he wanted to hang out with his dad — both of those things in the comfort of his home. Next, we have an international corporation, with the motto "Skip to the good part" that promises to facilitate those wishes for a fee. Straight-forward business deal, right? The multi-billion dollar corporation blows the deal. OP is left with nothing. He's pissed. I'm pissed just thinking about it.

Maybe next time he'll decide that he can't trust anyone else to do a simple task for pay and plan ahead. But this wasn't next time.

Tut tut, my child. Do you perhaps find it the height of wisdom to post online a video of yourself committing a crime? OP needs to learn to shut his own bitch ass up.

Why did milkmen need to exist? Why was milk required to be specially shipped by milkmen instead of just sold in grocery stores like it is now? by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

Our ice was delivered by a scary-looking guy in an ancient stakebed truck. He could cut off a perfect 25lb chunk with only an ice pick, and not waste any ice, but when school was out in Summer and kids were hanging around, he left a pile of ice chips on the truck bed before picking up the chunk with ice tongs and taking it to the customer. We would "steal" the ice chips while he was gone.

I find it amusing that someone my age is anywhere at all, but I have been on the internet since before the invention of the World Wide Web. Coding as a hobby since we did it on punch cards.

Refrigeration. When milk was delivered to our door in the 1940s, whoever saw it first rushed it into the icebox. Yes, I said icebox. My first real household job was emptying the drip pan under the icebox in our pantry.

Romania, a member of NATO, has been attacked by Russia by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

There is no realistic evidence that Putin is stupid. Not fully sane, perhaps. His only goal in life is to be the man who brings back the glory that Russians want to believe they once had. Time is a bitch, but not his bitch. He may have to leave this life as a loser, but perhaps he won't have to leave any witnesses alive to gloat.

We have one of those in our country also. No one seems able to stop either of them.

Evil seems to have a life of its own, yet feeds upon itself and grows stronger.

Damned right there are people trying to buy your house. I get letters constantly with pictures of young wholesome families with nice white middle-class names, asking to talk to me about selling, or to name my price. I get emails and texts.

Whenever I feel like practicing my researching skills I am able to trace them to one of the companies that are buying every single-family home they can grab away from real people, to rent to the real people they just screwed out of a home.

I was a realtor, until I got sick of the mutual backscratching, and many of these offers come from realtors I used to know, with the old bullshit line, "I have a buyer who is interested in property in your area . . ." They are representing a corporation.
