▲ 1195 ▼ I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) The service is delivery! I read this and thought, "no, the service is that they were able to put pants on and leave their house today, unlike you." Please dont take that as a personal attack, I'm just sharing intrusive thoughts when they make me giggle permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago I use them fairly often because I'm just too fucking busy during the week. I have to get up at 5am to get ready for work, am too busy to take a real lunch break, and get home around 8-9 most nights. And that's on nights I don't have meetings (I work in municipal government, and public meetings like Council, P&Z, BOA, etc all meet at nights). We could hire more people, but that would require more income, and that requires council members to vote on raising their own property taxes, not to mention state law regarding tax increases. Yeah, I could meal prep on the weekend, but that's essentially allowing work to intrude on my weekends, and fuck that. I'm essentially buying more time to relax in the very little relaxation time I have available. permalink fedilink source parent
