Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. 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.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    Have you seen the responses here? Paints a picture on why they felt the need to defend themselves.

      Why would I care what the internet loser has to say about my life? Why should that impact my behavior in any way?

      I am also highly irritated by the way this post was formulated. It feels like, having the need to post personal information to justify ordering a pizza so he can ramble about the price.

      How can a grown ass man be so insecure about himself. Like what’s the problem with saying fuck I ordered a pizza and damn those fuckers got expensive? Where are we heading, that a grown adult needs to intro everyone with a letter long disclaimer, to justify he bought a pizza.

        How do you feel about negotiating the price of a new car down?

        Personally, I think it’s really cool that people without social skills are charged more. It’s like “take that! ya fuckin loser.”

          Nice false equivalence. This isn’t even about negotiating, it’s about looking at the website you’re ordering from and actively trying to save money. Domino’s doesn’t hide their deals, they put them under the tab labeled “deals”. If you don’t have the reading comprehension to find those deals, you may need someone else to order for you.

              Sure, I’m a bootlicking slut, you really got me. You sound like you weren’t hugged enough so you inject politics into everything, so you have a reason to insult people. You’re in a cult my guy. Like I said, have a personality beyond “libs bad”, it’s pathetic.

                  Jesus, that was a bit of a mouthful huh? Also, “says what” doesn’t work when I can just reread it.

                  But I love this line of logic. How do you like society progressing? Do you like the push for diversity and inclusion, trans rights, gay marriage, legalizing weed, pushing for socialized health care, gender-affirming procedures, and abortion rights? I’m assuming you like all that. I mean, you wouldn’t want to be a “petty bitch” for not liking how society is progressing. Or are you just bootlicking the GOP and nodding your head whenever they say anything without thinking too hard?

                  Edit: funny how you didn’t say anything when brought face to face with you hypocrisy. You just down voted me and stayed quiet. All people like you ever have is hate and name calling, not a single coherent thought or stance.
