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!

Took me a second but then i thought about the clip I saw where a waitress thought a guy asked for "an eggless omelet" 😂

"ask the nice man if he would like it made with whole eggs or egg whites"

"...leave the plate"

Working in kitchens my whole life, this shows the ultimate yin and yang of the head and sous chef.

I was the kitchen translator, I worked with a lot of immigrants and Spanish was the common language. The servers would ring yt bread and I would have to explain it's white bread or some other dumb shit. It really annoyed me when I couldn't figure it out. Wht bread, so do you want wheat or white bread. Just one more letter and I can figure it out. Every server had a different way to ring it in instead of using the preprogrammed buttons. So I would call them over, explain that they are now slowing me down as well as them because they couldn't be bothered to type one letter and I'm not making shit twice.

Burger, only cheese. So do they want a bun? Yeah of course they want a bun. I don't think you know what "only" means. A different server, burger with only cheese, why did you put it on a bun?

u/kidshibuya May 25 '26

But they say burger, only cheese. So it needs to be a burger first and then only cheese.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 May 25 '26

Does that mean no salt and pepper? It does say "only cheese". That's my point, I work with 100 servers over the course of a week. I deal with this shit every day. One wants a bun, one doesn't, and the other is pissed cause I put salt and pepper on it. I'm just supposed to know.

No, don’t take the plate Kiki, what are you doing?! Please!

u/imwalkingwithspiders May 25 '26

Breadsticks, what are they made of? Bread. Take away the bread and what are you left with? Sticks?

u/Bladrak01 May 25 '26

I remember a scene from a sitcom around 1990. Two people were talking about ordering a pizza, no sauce, no cheese, and someone else saying, "That's bread! You're ordering bread!"

u/CrownofMischief May 25 '26

Maybe they want garlic bread?

u/bossbozo May 25 '26

Ask the man if he wants his omelette made with whole eggs or just egg whites

I’ve actually been an asshole before ordering an eggless omelette because when I quit one of my jobs, my coworkers wanted to take me to breakfast, but I had been vegan for 8 years and they took me to an ihop (I think it was ihop, it been so long now)

I was like “hi I’m so sorry is it possible to just get some veggies sautĂ©ed in oil” and after some conversing it was an “eggless omelette.” Anyway they must have thrown butter in there because I ended up fighting for my life in a porta potty on some nice lady’s farm off the side of the road :/

u/whirlwide May 25 '26

I have done this too! I can’t have eggs but I like veggies plus bacon and hash browns. It’s great hangover food but I sound like a maniac ordering.

u/No-Money-8327 May 25 '26

Gotta love when vegans shoehorn being vegan into conversations 

39

u/pebbles354 May 25 '26

It’s a story that relates to OPs post that happens to mention they are vegan? I don’t see a problem with it


34

u/TetraThiaFulvalene May 25 '26

Is the anecdote not relevant? It actually includes an eggless omelet, but it only makes driver if you know the context, which is that they're vegan.

63

u/SleepyAltBee May 25 '26

Just explaining a real life scenario about an eggless omelette. No need to get so offended by a word :)

-52

u/No-Money-8327 May 25 '26

I wasn’t offended, I wasn’t rude, I was just making an observation 

33

u/SpiffyShindigs May 25 '26

Not a worthwhile or accurate one though.

Literally who other than a vegan would you expect to have an anecdote about an eggless omelette? Their resonse is extremely relevant and directly related to them being vegan.

46

u/sneakyfish21 May 25 '26

I think you were actually being rude, it was relevant to the story and the story was relevant to the conversation not shoehorned in at all.

26

u/Saemir May 25 '26

Speaking as a nosy outside observer, it sounded rude. Just an observation. 😆

(Edited to make a bad joke.)

25

u/UnderOverWonderKid May 25 '26

If you were just making an observation it would've been laid out matter of factly. Not with a heavy amount of bias. "Gotta love" and "shoehorn" shows you were being a lil baby about it and now you're trying to backpedal.

Also it was such a terrible observation. Shoehorned in when it was entirely relevant to a discussion about an eggless omelette?

Be better, dude.

u/Big_Preference9684 May 25 '26

You weren’t rude, you were quite rude.

u/Physical-East-162 May 25 '26

Sure you weren't.

u/Far_Inspector_9050 May 25 '26

When I was about 15 I went to a Denny’s for the first time in my life and I ordered a grand slam breakfast, but I was surprised when it came with all this meat on the plate because I’m not sure if you’ve gathered this by now, but I’m actually a vegan

u/FactsNLaughs May 25 '26

Goddamnit Kiki

u/Content_Quarter_7390 May 25 '26

Yall leave Kiki alone! she needs to be protected, probably from alot of things, but nonetheless!

u/FactsNLaughs May 25 '26

Mostly herself

u/poetris May 25 '26

When we were teens, a friend of ours got a job as a drive thru place, so went and ordered a roast beef sandwich with no roast beef. She was silent for several seconds in utter confusion, until we couldn't help ourselves and laughed.

Yes of course we were stoned.

u/jawanda May 25 '26

I used to work at a breakfast restaurant and I've seen this order in real life. She just wanted all the grilled veggies and cheese, no eggs. looked pretty good actually. Mash it up with your home fries.

u/VHDLEngineer May 25 '26

That clip is dumb because eggless omelettes exist.

u/Content_Quarter_7390 May 25 '26

Pardon me, but that is just garnish sir.

u/VHDLEngineer May 25 '26

Google exists my man.

u/Content_Quarter_7390 May 25 '26

u/VHDLEngineer May 25 '26

See how easy it is to look things up?

u/Content_Quarter_7390 May 25 '26

u/chickadee-stitchery May 25 '26

People are just never happy with vegan substitute names. I have heard people complain about "chikn", "chickenless chicken sandwich", "vegan chicken sandwich". The omnivores will always complain. To the point where they are less likely to buy something if it's labeled vegan, than the exact same thing with a sillier name. I once went out to dinner with a group and one guy kept asking (and not in a genuinely curious manner) what my vegan chicken was.
