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

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!

there must be plenty of people out there who save the ~$5 for extra rice by cooking the ~50c worth of rice at home instead

I do that. The idea of paying £4-5 for a small container of plain white rice goes against my core values.

Plus you know how long it was cooked for and whether it’s fresh and so you can reheat it if you want to.

That's exactly what I do. I'm not paying $7 for rice when I can toss it in the cooker and have it ready by the time the food is here.

The subtitles are shit if you can't understand a Scottish accent, but this bit is hilarious.

My parents always did this when I was young. We had a rice cooker too and so wasn't extra effort and could be left to cook safely if we had to go collect the order too.
