    Yes, you are.

    Among other things, the screenshot OP’s vague way of asking is a typical freeloader’s strategy to get something for free without explicitly asking for such, yet expecting it if the person they ask doesn’t get specifics, and playing a victim when it doesn’t work out they way they wanted.

    It’s a manipulation technique that sometimes backfires, as posted above.

    Again, if he wanted free food he should have just said so, then the guy he asked could have very well just said no and saved him the embarrassment when the delivery guy showed up.

      You seem confused. I understand you identify with the asshole and will do whatever it takes to justify your position.

      This doesn’t have to make either of us an idiot but you if you insist one of us must be, I accept your defeat.

        No, I’m not confused, I understand you identify with the grifter, and are trying to redirect the blame for his unhappiness on the guy who did what he thought was asked of him.

        Your proposed mom pickup was a ridiculous thing to compare it to, because there’s no ambiguity in what’s asked of you in that request, unlike being randomly asked to order food and have it delivered.

        If I asked a friend to pick up my mom and he did that, I wouldn’t even be mad, I would make other arrangements for mom to be picked up, and then go find my friend to see if we need to make an appointment for him somewhere in case he had a head injury or something, because that would be the only reasonable explanation for it. No one would do that, it’s totally unserious bullshit.

        The funny part is this whole defense you dimwits are mounting up around someone not using common sense and making the “correct” assumption that would make you happy is all on behalf of a dude who made the original assumption that he could randomly text someone and have food delivered to him for free with no explanation in the first place.

        Cry harder.
