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.
A whole bunch of people have come in to tell me why I should have done things that I already said I wouldn't be able to do based on those five points, so I suppose you could argue that it wasn't worth giving them, although I have a feeling even more people would have said "just get takeout" or whatever. Someone even now is telling me to get takeout just put the pizza in a Ziplock.
Did you consider getting takeout?
I did not! Thank you for the suggestion!
That's a go order!
Take 'em out!
Just ignore the trolls, they have meaningless little lives and nothing better to do than try and make a random person online feel like shit so the trolls can feel like their existence matters in any significant way. Which sucks, as they could probably better focus that time constructively, but instead....this.
Thank you.

Pizza is takeout... If they mean picking it up instead of delivery, well yes, you should have.
Again- I am extremely smell sensitive.
I go into the pizza place, I heave.
I carry the pizza to the car, I heave.
I drive with the pizza in the car, I have to keep pulling over to heave.
Why do any of you find that reasonable? Would you want to do that just to give someone a pizza?
Wow! You also figured out my huge con to tell everybody I’m sick when I’m not. And as a consolation prize for figuring it out second, you get to have an entire paste of what I said to the first guy about how it’s all a big con. Congratulations on both of you for being Sherlock Holmes.
I guess I made up all the posts I made about it in Casual Conversation you’re free to look up, including all the ones I posted while I was at the Mayo Clinic.
It’s been a long con going on since December of 2022.
After all, nothing on the internet is true.
Here you go, here’s a link where I made up being at the Mayo Clinic: https://lemmy.world/post/13867999
Here’s a link on another forum where I completely made up having my gall bladder removed and how that didn’t work: https://forums.mst3k.com/t/whats-your-problem-a-thread-for-griping-part-2-part-1/28111/2520?u=flyingsquid
I’m happy to show you other examples of me completely making this up.
Edit: sorry, you don’t get to see my medical records, but I can probably arrange a video chat with one of my doctors if you’d like. Of course, that will probably just a fake doctor that I’m completely making up.
Edit 2: Check out my amazing Photoshop skills!
