Today, I asked my son to go to the grocery store across the street and pick up some lettuce. He sighed and said, "Why don't you just order it on Amazon?" FML

Today, in a supermarket, my four-year-old son whispered to me, asking if the checkout lady was able to wash between her fat rolls. She heard. FML

Keeping up appearances

By waterpistolriot - 23/10/2020 11:02 - Austria

Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML

Today, my husband offered to do the weekly grocery shopping. Because he has never done the shopping before, I made him a list of what we needed and other optional foods to give him an idea of what to get. He came back with a week's worth of ramen noodles and 2 litres of soda. FML

Let him cook

By Max - 09/04/2014 18:32 - United States

Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML

You walked into that one

Today, I asked my mom if I could borrow $20 since I don’t get paid until Friday. She responded with, “Why don’t you return those packages that arrived this week from your online shopping sprees?” FML

Motivation

By anon - 14/11/2024 20:00 - United States - Myrtle Beach

Today, I felt motivated to eat healthier, so I bought a bunch of vegetables. When I got home, I ordered some Burger King, all because I didn’t want to "waste the vegetables by cooking them wrong." Now the veggies are inevitably going bad in the fridge while I wait for my delivery. FML

Today, my son told me he needed a haircut. I was thrilled that he actually requested it, since he normally throws a fit over getting them. He described the cut he wants. It's a mullet. FML

Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML

Make sure you use Amazon Prime, and tell him you'll call him down for dinner in 2 days.

They do deliver groceries lol. It's called AmazonFresh; I'm surprised no one here has heard of it it's been around for a while and I see there trucks all the time

If I would have said this to my mom, I would have been kidding, where as this guy sounds like he thinks it's a typical thing to buy produce from Amazon. I hope he wasn't serious, but at the same time, I hope he was because this made me laugh a lot.

Oh man. What has the world come to. Your son is a outside the box kind of thinker. Even if he is using it for lazy purposes.

This really is not so odd is some parts of the world. The supermarket downstairs in my building sends whatever you want within like five minutes and you pay at the door. It's very handy! And, 24hrs a day! We also get fastfood chains like Burger King or McDonald's delivered home.

That's a glimpse of the future for you OP ! This has nothing to do with being lazy, but with being practical.

Actually I don't know about you guys in America, but here in Britain you can literally shop for groceries online and have it delivered to you within a few hours.

When it comes to produce I want to pick my own.

I agree. While buying canned goods and such online might be more convenient, I want to pick my own meat and produce. I don't want wilted or bruised produce, or super fatty meat.
