House sitting again

United Kingdom
November 12, 2017 2:22pm CST
My parents have gone away to Manchester for the night, so I'm here with Leonard looking after Treacle (the dog) and the chickens. Being here is like a holiday for me, so obviously I've ordered a takeaway The problem is I ordered it online and then it said it's not going to be here til 9.40! I made the order before 7.30 and obviously don't want to wait that long, but I've been ringing and ringing and the phone's engaged so I can't even get through to them to cancel Just got to sit here and be hungry til it finally arrives

You could have a small snack to hold you until then? Just a suggestion. :3

I like to be really hungry when I get a takeaway because it doesn't happen as often as I'd like

I've wasted away! It ended up getting here at about quarter to nine so it wasn't too bad

That's frustrating. I remember it once took six hours to get my full order. They brought it to me, had me pay, then discovered they had forgotten a part of my order. They said it would take 30 minutes, but six hours later I finally got it. I called three times during those hours, but they wouldn't answer. I haven't used them since. They didn't even offer a partial refund or coupon.

That's so rude! The least they can do is communicate

Are you sure that you ordered it in the same city? Last time I ordered a pizza supposed to be delivered at 9.30, it came at 10.10. I would consider to eat something if I was you.

Hahaha the worst part is it's only a ten minute walk away! I didn’t want to eat anything before it arrived cos I like to be really hungry when I have a takeaway

Did it arrive? Was it hot (or cold, or fresh, depending on what it was)?

It got here an hour earlier than they said it would and it was closer to hot than they often are, I won't get anything from them again but I'll call off the hit man for now

Well I hope the food was here sooner then you thought. Enjoy your relaxing time watching the house for your parents.

It arrived an hour earlier than they said it would, I think they did it on purpose to make it seem like they were quicker
