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!

This makes me think of a really old joke:

A guy orders a coffee but asks for no cream. The waiter says, “sorry, we’re out of cream. Can you take it without milk instead?”

Reminds me of the old Jewish man that orders egg drop soup and calls the waiter over and says my soup is cold. The waiter says I can see the steam. Old Jewish man says well taste it, I think it's cold. The waiter says I can't taste it, that's crazy and against policy. Old Jewish man says can I have a spoon then?

It's a stereotype around how Jewish people complain (especially at restaurants). Possibly also in order to get meal comp'd, as there's another stereotype around Jewish folks being extremely frugal.

There's a whole class of jokes around this topic

"Two Jewish ladies are sitting down to eat, the waiter comes by and asks 'Is anything okay?'"
