Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

    That pick any 2 for $6.99 each deal would have saved you a bundle.

    So would picking it up.

      Again- I am extremely smell sensitive.

      I go into the pizza place, I heave.

      I carry the pizza to the car, I heave.

      I drive with the pizza in the car, I have to keep pulling over to heave.

      Why do any of you find that reasonable? Would you want to do that just to give someone a pizza?

        Breathe through your mouth.

        There is zero chance someone really developes something that debilitating without learning how to cope with it.

          Yep. It’s definitely all a lie. You and the others figured it out. But this is another chance to show off my amazing Photoshop skills.

          I Photoshop that to pretend I spent all my birthday money on a medical bill. Isn’t that awesome?

            Keep posting your hospital bill.

            It doesn’t prove shit except that you are committed to your stupid lie.

              I have a nutty idea! You keep harassing me, and I keep flagging you and then I will report you to Lemmy.world admin eventually if that doesn’t work. Sound fun?

                No one is harassing you by calling out your bullshit…

                But feel free to be as wimpy and whiny as you’d like.
