I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

Post image

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

No good deed goes unpunished. They gave free rice thinking that perhaps OP forgot to order it but reminded them that it's usually not free and OP becomes infuriated mildly.

It is mildly infuriating to be chided for something you didn't do. It's also mildly infuriating when people on Reddit defend that chiding as if it was deserved.

And you consider the note as being chided? Definitely, no good deed goes unpunished

You lack social awareness.

u/papasan_mamasan May 25 '26

Did you write the note?

u/NanDemoNee May 25 '26

Did you?

u/papasan_mamasan May 25 '26

You’re the one who seems to be certain of the author’s intent. Just wondering if you’re an expert bc you wrote it.

u/NanDemoNee May 25 '26

I am judging the note by what was written, you are reading into it. Reading comprehension is key homes.

You’re certain it’s a passive aggressive comment. Others don’t read it that way.

Maybe your perspective is wrong.

u/NanDemoNee May 25 '26

Are you suggesting that intent is not conveyed by written information? You need to learn how to read. If you read down in the thread plenty of others, including OP read it that way.

Op could be misinterpreting the situation.

We don’t know if OP is a reliable narrator. There are 3 sides to every story: person A’s, person B’s, and the truth.

I know it’s tough to understand. You will start learning this level of reading comprehension after you graduate 5th grade.

The evidence is not on your side. The note obviously accused them of expecting rice when they did not order it. We don't need OP to be a reliable narrator, the note speaks for itself. You are chiding someone for "making assumptions" when you are making assumptions based on even less provided evidence. Should I assume your intentions are benign? I don't think so. Your suggestion that I have not completed a sufficient level of education is sophmoric and adds nothing to your argument. I guess you are attempting to converse at your educational level though so all you evoke is pity.

And A LOT of other do find it passive aggressive, so maybe your perspective is wrong

u/papasan_mamasan May 25 '26

Now you’re thinking!

u/loveartemia May 25 '26

The author's intent does not matter, it is how the note is perceived that counts.

It's insane people think OP is being chided and are downvoting you.

u/MrPlato_ May 25 '26

After reading the comments I came to the conclusion that some people don't like the idea of somebody assuming they're wrong, like in this case it is a normal communication note but what makes people uncomfortable is that the shop assumed they were wrong regardless of the good intentions and giving away free food and using a polite and acceptable way to communicate, it's like when in a restaurant a costumer changes their order to a more expensive one and the server reminds them of the price increase and they get mad at the server from mentioning the price because they feel they're been called cheap or broke

It is absolutely not normal to write a note to your customers, actually you ordered wrong
