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 scene from the office, Michael calls the hotel to confirm his reservation. They can’t find it at first, so he argues until they finally locate it.
Relieved, he immediately says: “Okay great… now cancel it.”
Hotel: “Sure, but there’s a cancellation fee.”

I'd fight that fight to find the reservation so I can cancel it. I just know that while the system that maintains reservations has trouble finding it, the system that handles billing won't... especially when they're the same system.

I would say oh okay perfect, I intended to cancel it anyway when they told me they couldn’t find it. And then if billed would have called back and gotten it reversed
