To be pissed off take away messed up...

[mychildren3]

Just ordered take away, chicken jalfrezi, rice, nan and chips - got home and i have beef jalfrazi; i don't like beef in a curry! Would i be unreasonable to telephone and let them know?
I order from here regularly and they are lovely. Wwud

HemanOrSheRa I'm sure he will! My DP is working tonight, so I'll just be sharing mine with the HellKitties. Now to the most important question... Pizza, Indian, or noodles?

I think legotits is a different poster just answering the "what would you do?" Question.

Perhaps the OP will ask MN for instructions on breathing in and out next

Seriously? You didn't immediately phone them and say your order was wrong? That's what I generally do if a takeaway makes a mistake.

I've never eaten a beef curry. Is it chunks like in a casserole or thin strips like in the Chinese?

I don't get the issue, just phone them! Seriously though, is there anything people won't consult mumsnet, Facebook or Google on nowadays?!

I am a different poster.

I need no help when it comes to takeaway curries, sadly.

Chips with a curry?

YABU to post about takeaway curry when I am on a diet and have to eat salad for dinner AGAIN.

littlefrogs I believe that Saturdays are exempt from dieting. Get the curry!

Awaits second thread from poster who ordered beef and got the OPs chicken jalfrezi.

I hate takeaway disappointment.

Recently they forgot the extra garlic sauce for my kebab.

I could've rung and got them to drop of the extra, but then my kebab would be cold and I would probably be unreasonable to expect a whole new kebab.

So I just had unsatisfactory kebab.

I'm with you, op.

I had an unsatisfying trip to the greasy spoon up the road last night... They do a baguette filled with stir fry veg, sweet chilli sauce and cheese. Sounds weird but it's delicious! Normally they use mushrooms, red onion and red peppers but yesterday they'd clearly run out of stuff so it was mushrooms, plain white onion and green pepper - the most disappointing and undigestable of the onions.
I had stomach cramps all night. It made me sad. Now I want a curry damn you but I blew my 'once a week takeout' on that bloody baguette.

That's far too much carbohydrate.

INDIAN here Kittens. After some negiotiation. DP doesn't really like chinese food. DS and I love it and wanted that. We all love Indian food. However we had a surprisingly well mannered discussion about it . DP surprised me with a bottle of wine, DS and me agreed to a delicious Indian takeaway on the promise that I will take DS out for 'proper' chinese food on Wednesday when DP is working away! Result!

My tenants didn't pay their rent this month, would i be unreasonable to ask them to pay?

For future reference this is how you deal with a messed up take away order according to my dad:

Open food package
Ask (to no-one in particular) where's the [insert missing item]?
Say "fuck sake, fuck them shower of useless bastards"
Wrap up food and throw it to the back of the counter
Say "I'm going back in to those fuckers, they do this all the fucking time, where's their number? I'm ringing them."
Lifts phone, dials, phone is answered
Polite voice "hello, I just collected an order, the name is [name] and you've left out the [item], that's ok, no problem. Thanks very much"
To whoever is present "they're going to take it off our next order. They're decent fellas in there"

Our local takeaway did this once. We took it back and were given the right one AND the wrong one as it was no use to them (hygiene reasons, I expect). There was no bother. We rang them first so they would have one ready for collection, but if you have it delivered just give them a call.

Bahahahaha! Jen. Is that you Sis .

Jen, I think I might be your Dad

is there anything people won't consult mumsnet, Facebook or Google on nowadays?!

No.

My toenails need cutting. I'm told that if you do them at the end of the week they grow slower, and at the beginning of the week, they grow faster. Does anyone have any experience of this? Is Saturday the end of the week (as God rested on the seventh day and we take that as being Sunday) or 6is6 it Sunday? Or is Sunday the first day? Or is that Monday?

Also - should I use clippers or scissors?

(Sorry OP - couldn't resist . . . )

hi dad, his sis!

hi sis! Not his

Jen

My DH has the same method, except he says "wankers" instead of "bastards".

HemanOrSheRa, see, Indian sounds good. But I had Indian takeaway last Saturday night (chicken jalfrezi, prawn balti, pilau rice, naan, bombay aloo, lamb koftas and peshwari naan, just in case anyone gives a crap what I gorged on a week ago ). It was savage! But I'm thinking I might need to mix it up. Maybe a tuna and red onion pizza and mozzarella fritta from the Italian? Decisions!
