Today I woke up to yet another "accident." It's really difficult trying to know if I have to go #2 or if it's just gas. I was hoping for gas because I didn't want to get up yet. Clearly I was wrong.
I've wanted Chinese food for over a month now. It's getting cold outside and the stupid leaves are falling, I'm feeling really down and blue lately. I missed out on the Roadkill Cook-off because of how early I'd need to be there. I just really needed something to get excited about.
I ordered everything I thought K and I might want. Then I saw that the restaurant had combos and had to restart, which was annoying but I liked because it was cheaper. It ended up being like $55 for everything I wanted, then there was tax and tip. Basically it was expensive but we'd be able to just chill and stuff our faces with stuff we really liked. A good day.
It came time to pay. ( I ordered pick-up because delivery isn't common in my area.) I was putting in my PayPal info when I told K that I had ordered Chinese but he'd have to go pick it up. All he said was, "K." He didn't even look at me.
I'm thinking I did something nice, he'd just asked me about dinner, but he barely acknowledged me. I told him that he should've at least asked me how I was today or where he needed to pick up the food. He repeated my words without looking away from his phone or sounding actually interested. I asked him why he was being that way. No answer. I told him the order would be ready in twenty minutes and went downstairs.
We only have 2 Chinese restaurants in my area, one is a buffet and the other is mostly take out. I've never actually been inside the takeout place, but K has now told me that they also have tables. The one I ordered from is the buffet one.
Ten or so minutes after I told him he needed to go pick up the food he still hadn't left. He said he didn't know where he was going. Again I tried to explain. I've only ever been inside and eaten at one of them, and that was the one. He didn't leave, he still said he didn't know which he was going to. (they're less than five minutes walk from each other )
I took a screenshot of the order and sent it to him. ( It had the name of the place and pick-up time on it) A few minutes later he still hadn't left. The food was waiting. I went upstairs to see what the issue was. He was playing a game on his phone and doesn't get messages when he plays that game. I told him I messaged him with the time/place and that he needed to go. He told me he would finish the day in his game then go.
A few minutes later he yelled about the price and said he wasn't going to pick it up. It cost too much and I had only gotten bullshit like wontons and not real food. (Not true) He said it was stupid to pay that much. Maybe it was. I've been really down lately and craving Chinese. I just wanted an easy day and thought it was worth the price.
