Sometimes I feel like a door-dash driver. If I leave the house, I am immediately barraged with texts from my sons. "Bruh, if you stop somewhere for a drink can we get Zero Sugar Monsters?"
I have the opposite. I send a text: "Do you need anything while I am at (Target/grocery store)? to the reply of "No". What do you want for dinner? "I dont know" What snack do you want? "I dont know..."
I have a trick that I use on occasion and you truly can only use it occasionally. I will randomly ask my wife or daughter, "guess what we are having for supper?" or "guess where we are going for supper?" They offer a guess and it is always what we were going to have or go for supper.
I am a Level 7 susceptible. I totally, totally am.
I simply tell my boys (16, 17, 18) who are all full size adult people now that 'there are all your categories of food in the house...make something'...and...'every fast food place you want/need is less than a mile walk/bike from our house.'
You don't have your own coffee maker?
Most of the people in the office are Mormons, and because of that we don't have an office coffee fund like other offices. Those of us that want coffee bring in our own makers and supplies. So we have about six coffee makers, each used by one person.
My cousin Doordashed pancakes from IHOP once. Bleh.
When my step daughter was younger, we would eat sandwiches, cereal, oatmeal, or something easy when she was at her dad's house. When she was with us, her mom or I would usually wind up making a homemade dinner. Our youngest winds up eating quick meals like tacos, brinner, soups, or leftovers most weeknights with sandwiches or ramen on really busy nights. My stepdaughter (oldest) is always a bit put out when we eat sandwiches or the same few meals each week. She's also always surprised how much time is spent cleaning since that was typically done when she was at her dads.

Just checking for pulses......
But at that age, you got the stare-down while there were bracing themselves with their hand on the couch/chair and you know what your next job entailed.
That’s why they invented delivery.
Having had a young driver, the less bells and whistles (aka distractions and/or over reliance tools) the vehicle has the better off they will be to start off with.
True, but I do like getting out and about every now and then. For groceries though, I will do the order ahead and curbside pick up... delivery may be something to try though.
The only reason I was apple car play is for the GPS with traffic conditions.
The first three years of my professional career (working for The Great State of Georgia) was like that - we probably had 30+ individual coffee makers going on days when most folks were in the office (instead of in the field). Circuit breakers tripping was a regular occurrence...
Pancakes sounds like a pretty bad item for Doordash. What would be the most egregious abuse of Doordash imaginable? Freshly popped popcorn? A bowl of cereal from a nearby diner?
My wife and I heard a comedian do a bit on it some years ago. So my wife knows it's a trick but she knows if I say that to her that she has permission to think only about herself and not what others in the house would want. My youngest daughter always answers with one of two places but if I would suggest either she would say "i don't know" because she know that neither of the places are my favorites. Getting people pleasers to make a decision is hard.
Yep, go to https://www.crutchfield.com/S-4mDVAyvJixy/ They've got it all. Although the more modern a car the more limited options are with all those integrated stereos.
Back in the day either I went out or brought home.Like...literally...never?
Not even a pizza during all these years of single male adulthood?
Safe travels.
Ice cream in July. "Leave it at my door."
Does that mean jacket & tie for you ?
Always sounds like an overcaffeinated game show host to me.
Are they really clients, though? As opposed to customers, or dare I say even members?We have a tiny, tiny backyard at the townhouse. We have bird bath and a feeder, and we get lots of clients, but nothing as exotic as a woodpecker! I think it sounds like good luck. Like the American landscape telling you to visit again when you can.
While not an abuse of Doordash, we did order Waffle House one night about 2 am when no one needed to be driving. Waffle House is not meant to be eaten more than 15 minutes after it was cooked. It did not travel well.
