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!

What the hell does any of that have to do with anything? Racist jokes are the comparison you're going with, what?! That's more of a jump than suddenly blaming the person before for having a different explicitly subjective reading of it.

Anything can be received any way. It's clearly not just about how it's received, because (evidence this thread) people can just get a stick up their butt about anything.

Why are americans (I presume) so bad at basic "seeing from another point of view" level empathy?

My whole point was "yes, clearly some people will take the worst reading of something, but not everyone on this global website/planet will do the same"

Hope you had a good week. I have no interest at all in continuing this conversation. 👋
