Note I did not buy any food for myself.
To head off questions:
-
No, I couldn't cook for her. I'm suffering from a long-term illness where I can't eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.
-
She's extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.
-
We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they're all at least this expensive.
-
No, I didn't also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it's nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.
-
We're in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.
Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn't an option, having people not believe I'm sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn't like down her throat or starving her if she won't eat it.
By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I'm an awful parent and how I'm not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you'll find someone else to treat like shit.
Anyway, have fun telling me I'm the worst person on Lemmy, just don't expect a quick reply.
Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.
I didn't?
I didn't really want to go into detail, but since you and others seem to need me to, here you go:
If I get in my car with a pizza that already makes me ill just smelling it while carrying it out of the pizza place which makes me ill by going into, I'll be lucky if I haven't already heaved three times. Then I have to pull over every few minutes to heave some more. Generally, drivers behind me don't care for that and I try to be polite as a driver.
I hope this clears things up for anyone, but if you still have questions about why I didn't put a pizza in my car anyway, I'll do my best to explain it to you, but I would suggest starting to answer that question by sticking your fingers down your throat in short intervals.
No, you didn't. That was your explanation as to why you couldn't cook. I presumed one reason you got pizza was because it was a smell you could tolerate. Expecting people to understand that your reasoning for not cooking was the same reason for not driving is ridiculous.
I respect that and it makes sense. Why you had to be such a prick about it is beyond me.
Because you were like the fourth person to tell me to get takeout after I explained it in the comments multiple times.
My bad. I did search for "drive" and "pick" and saw nothing. But apparently I didn't scroll down so all of the comments weren't loaded.
