Hi.
My first post having found SOOO many things in this area in the past unbearable but let it go. I do not think I am an unreasonable person but I like to be able to eat when hungry. (I accept this is very first world).
My husband is laissez-faire about takeaway delivery. He will order through whichever delivery company shouts the loudest and pay no attention to arrival time and I'm afraid tonight for me was the last straw. I am happy to get in touch with the "alleged food provider" on his behalf if stuff doesn't arrive or is substandard even though I am not the official recipient of the order but often (like tonight) he hasn't even got a vague sense of what he should be willing to accept or when!
I was drawn in when he suggested kebabs at 6.20 pm and placed the order for immediate delivery. Should be ASAP from a local provider via Food Hub according to the delivery but when it gets to 8.40 pm and I lose my fucking shit because it is yet to arrive and I am ravenous I am treated as mentally unstable because I think it might be sensible to call the provider and find out why the food has not arrived. He literally WILL NOT take responsibility for this and behaves as though I am a mad woman for even wanting to know when our food might arrive. Since the order has been placed through his account I have no official info about when the food should have arrived or the contact details to get in touch. I end up making myself a cheese sandwich as he refuses to get in touch with the provider about when it's due and I am cross with him because of his lack of interest in sorting it out. The order eventually arrived but am I being unreasonable with to be mad at him for not trying to sort it out before the timescale became ridiculous and having to feed myself with something FAR less tasty due to massive hunger!!!!
We mainly eat good healthy home cooked food so such a decision should be a treat and an indulgence NOT a stress.
