I love how there wasn't even an escalation, just 1 to 11 immediately lol

[-] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 49 points 2 weeks ago

In under 9 minutes, too. Like, damn.

for real. reminds me of that story about some boomer coming to a Little Caesars and ordering a pizza. They told him it would be 10 minutes until it was ready, so he walked out to his car, got a gun, and came back in threatening to shoot up the place and everyone in it unless they gave him the first available pizza.

obviously these are heinous responses under any circumstances, but like... 10 minutes? these brains are cooked.

10 minutes is like normal pizza time. My local guy once sighed heavily before he told me it would be... 15 minutes, boss
He was so sad about it

Last week I went to a pizza shop to place a takeout order and they said it would be TWO HOURS. One pizza and an order of bread sticks. I was baffled.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's crazy. Possible reasons why:

  • Oven broke
  • New guy broke
  • Don't wanna work
  • Received order for a gazelleon pizzas
  • Need to go get ingredients

This has got to be lead poisoning in action

love too wait less than nine minutes and then make gruesome death threats over a lack of response. very chill and normal behavior

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 55 points 2 weeks ago

This is the behavior of someone who spends their entire day texting bots

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 2 weeks ago

It makes me realise that a lot of boomers' social networks are mostly if not entirely bots they "talk" to on facebook all day and can't tell the difference.

Okay who was it, I know you're here

Nah this site is an anti-aussie colloquialism zone hentai-free

This is how I talk. Growing up, my mom spoke Maoist and my dad spoke Borger

This is how I behave to AI voice phone systems.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Me asking the person on the other end of the phone why they aren't flipping over the tortoise to decide if I got a real person.

[-] borschtisgarbo@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago

Is this praxis?

[-] ItalianMessiah@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

My man couldn't even wait 10 fucking minutes lol.

I don't get worried unless it's 2 full days after my last text.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Eight and a half minutes later lol
