        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.

              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

      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.

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

      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.

    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.
