TIFU by skimming the menu

Submitted by PM-me-fancy-beer t3_11742uv in tifu

Very dumb FU. I'm feeling like a grumpy AH and decided I had earned takeaway for putting up with my grumpy self for a whole day. Halal snack pack (HSP) is my grumpy food of choice.

Unfortunately Monday night and most of my favourite places are closed. Jump on the apps for a browse and see somewhere I haven't been doing a large HSP for a decent price. The description is 'chips, sauce, cheese and chicken/lamb'. I put in the usual notes, lamb, no cheese (I find it makes it weird), extra salt. Easy peasy.

So I order and I wait and I wait and I wait. I keep checking the app because lately drivers haven't been knocking and sometimes food ends up being left down the street. Eventually I get a notification my order has arrived. I run down to get my saucy styroam comfort snack... And it's not there. There's a pizza box. WTF.

I was about to complain/see if the driver was still around but I had a realisation and checked the box. Chips, meat, extra salt (and no cheese) on a pizza base. They even forgot the garlic sauce. So now I'm spitefully chewing on my dry salty pizza. Nowhere in the description did is say that it was H-S-Pizza, but if I looked at the menu properly (instead of searching) I would have seen that they only do pizzas.

TLDR: Pizza shop delivered, I am salty

Can someone explain what is a h s pizza is?

Also never heard of extra salt on a pizza..

And if your order from a pizza shop why would you expect to get anything other then a pizza?

Halal snack pack - chips with kebab meat, cheese, garlic sauce and maybe BBQ and chill sauces. Think layered like poutine. It's delicious and ubiquitous. You can get them from kebab shops, but also usually fish and chip shops and pizza places.

I had no reason to suspect that my snack pack would be flat pack :(

It might be ubiquitous where you are but here in the NW UK I’ve never heard of it.

I’m not sure where you’re from. But in the United States in Minnesota really the only thing you’re getting from a pizza shop is a pizza. Well that and sometimes chicken wings, but honestly don’t bother with the chicken wings.I’ve been all over the central part of the US and it’s the same wherever I go. Again it might be different in your country.

Sounds Australian. Not that many pizza places do more than pizza but plenty of places that sell primarily kebabs do pizza. Sounds like OP mistook the former for the latter.

Salads from some of pizza places. Lasagna sometimes.

Some of the high end pizza places around have other pasta dishes.

I think you need to checkout the kapsalon. I think you will like it.

She obviously didn’t realize she was ordering from a pizza shop. Hence, the FU.

Lol, I thought this was gonna be about you going to a high end restaurant, not paying attention to the price, ordering more expensive food than you could pay for, being stopped by security before you could dine and dash, and waking up in a bathtub full of ice cubes and missing a kidney

I ordered a burger from five guys two days ago and apparently I ticked a box that would put my burger on a plate so I had to eat an empty cheese burger with my hands without the bread. I'm sorry for your loss.
