To top it all off, the Chinese food delivery order was wrong

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

Without getting into details, let's just say it was a long and stressful day.

 

I was glad to get home, and I was completely exhausted.  I was looking forward to dinner.  Of course when I opened the fridge, I realized that I forgot to get more food.  And, no soda left.

 

So of course, I ordered Chinese Food.  They are on my speed dial, of course.

 

Food arrived, I was on the phone, signed the credit card form.  As I'm talking to my friend, I get the food on the dish and pour the soda and drink it.  Yuck...it was of course diet and not regular, so I was annoyed.  I called, and they said they would swap it, and after a little bit of complaining, they gave me 10% off, and I said that was fine.

 

So, 10 minutes later, the delivery guy comes back with chopsticks.  Chopsticks?  I was puzzled.  I said, no, I wanted Pepsi.  He was confused since he thought he gave me the Pepsi.  I showed him that it looked similar, but no it was 0 calorie diet yuck stuff.  He called...and yelled at the woman, she yelled back, back and forth...I have no idea what they said as it was all in Chinese.

 

Then, it came out...they don't have any regular Pepsi.  So, he went to a store and bought some.  10 minutes later, he arrived again, and then I was happy...or at least not mad.

Another day in the life of busy professionals.  I had to stop to buy some dinner tonight myself but at least I got my order right :-)

After a long hard day you had a very disappointing dinner experience. Get a good night's rest and tomorrow will be a better day.

Yes it must have been a moon phase or something because it was an annoying day. After some business I came home and stayed there.
