Getting takeaway delivered when you live above the takeaway C/D?

I only ask because I had to desuade my flatmate from getting chinese takeaway delivered last night. To get the the takeaway you have to go down two flights of stairs and out the door, that's it. He said it was worth the £0.80 delivery charge.

We have got a pizza delivered when the takeaway was just round the corner, but f@#k it!

please tell me that you guys don't pee in jars and bottles instead of getting out of bed cuz you are too lazy. I have heard of this, and it always struck me as the very pinnacle of laziness. Or depths.

Getting it delivered when you are closer the wrong way on a wrong way system is, well, wrong.

Charles Manson invented a special stick-like TV channel changer so he wouldn't have to lean the 4 ft. across his cell to select one of his three grainy channels.

Classic.

I once used my mobile phone to let my mate know that I wanted a steak pie instead of a scotch pie at the football. He was standing in the queue about half a short staircase away.
Mobiles are a great lazy invention, I've got the numbers of the takeaways on my phone so I don't even need to get off the couch to order food.
I also pride myself on once getting pissed and getting the takeaway driver to deliver me home along with my meal.

This is the greatest idea ever, but I bet I would get stabbed if I tried it in Paisley.

did that once in new orleans during a thunderstorm, on labor day (no cabs around). but the pizza delivery dude's car was soaking inside because he left the windows open, and my seat smelled like a sick old pooch had pissed on it repeatedly. i had to go to the gap the next day to buy a new pair of jeans, because my pair smelled of old dog pee afterwards.

a friend of mine lived in an apartment above a great, vaguely punk rock sandwich shop, and he always complained about how long it took them to deliver his orders. the one time that he called down to bitch about how long it took, the cashier told him that since he lived two flights above perhaps in future he'd like to collect his food himself and save both of them hassle.

was your friend on smack?

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 9 September 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

no, he was just kind of a jerk in some ways.

complaining about the length of time seems like a sure way to get some nasty shit put in your food.

surely some sort of bucket attached to a rope and hung out the window would help the speed issue?

I wish I lived above a take-out place.

yeah, you can never have enough rodents

a year or so after my friend got told off by the sandwich shop employee, i found out that a co-worker of mine had worked delivery for the place as his first job in new york. he told me that orders placed from very close by often got left until the absolute last minute, in a minor display of delivery aggression.

I'm just wondering what a "punk rock sandwich shop" is.

it means ian svenonius is in the kitchen committing "art pranks" with the baguettes
