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.
why is no one talking about how it adds up to 30.97 unless my head math is no longer sharp.
No, it’s $31.07. You likely combined the 92 cents and 18 cents to a dollar instead of a dollar and 10 cents.
yes. that is exactly what I did.
I got $31.07 here using a calculator. Perhaps you’ve uncovered a plot perpetrated by Big Calculator. (A joke.)
I might be losing my perspecacity. I add the last two lines and my brain said 92 cents and 18 cents made a dollar rather than a dollar 10. it may seem dumb but thanks as it was messing with my brain. ugh I hate when I do stuff like that.
Hey, it’s good to keep exercising the math muscle, and apparently making mistakes is a better learning reinforcement for us than always succeeding, so I bet it will stick better now.
i wish but that type of shortcutty my brain took is unfortunately sorta a good and bad thing. It saw the 92 and 8 and just blew by it saying thats gonna be an even dollar so we can jump to the the others and figure out the cents and then add the dollars together. Im like 99% sure I would do the same in future unless I pull out paper (or just have a machine do it)
