      This is in no way condoning the practice, only describing why it happens, but a lot of dudes actually derive some kind of pleasure or satisfaction at knowing they’ve made someone else uncomfortable. That motivation generally steers them towards in-person interactions.

        I always figured that the game was being a creep because it’s the easiest way to get a woman to interact with your or at least acknowledge your existence. Porn has solutions for that too.

        Or maybe they do indeed just want to make women uncomfortable. Harder to do that with porn since porn actors tend to not be great non-porn actors.

    odd, who would have known that just being honest with your partner would be the best for you and them.

    You have to wonder, is the wife doing this specifically and only to fuck with her husband, or does their take-out food actually have decent price-performance in some way? Maybe the food arrives really fast, or they have some dish that they excel at that no other place in the vicinity has? Maybe their chicken wings are just cheaper than KFC?

      I wouldn’t be caught dead ordering food from a service like uber eats. The amount of distress that you would have to inflict upon me for me to even consider Uber Eats would be insane.

      Purchasing a meal from ubereats means suffering an obscene markup that means it will always make more sense for me to go myself.

      Here’s a hypothetical scenario to illustrate:

      In-store price for a meal: $20

      On Uber Eats:

      Restaurant might mark it up 15-30% → $23-$26 just for the food, that’s not so bad, buuuut…

      Plus delivery fee (say $4) + service fee (say $3) + tip (say $3) → total $33-$36

      That means you’re paying ~60-80% more than going to the restaurant or picking up.

      In some cases (especially for smaller meals or chain fast-food), the total jump can exceed 100% more just because you don’t want to drive ten minutes down the road.

      Oh and that’s ignoring the fact that they might do something insane like eat your food or throw it into the bushes or drive around in a circle serving other people and wait for you until the end so by the time you get it your food is stone cold.

      Basically the only excuse that I will accept for Uber Eats is if you suffer from some kind of physical disability that actually prevents you from leaving your home.

        As far as I’m concerned, a restaurant meal is already special occasions only, and you might have more important things to do on a day like that than driving to a restaurant, or just be already drunk, or you really want to drink an alcoholic drink with your meal. A 100% markup isn’t that much in that situation.

        Whether the service is reliable is a different matter … I’m definitely not paying 100% markup if there’s a significant risk that my meal won’t arrive at all. Delivery used to be more reliable than that …

      Hooters’ wing sauce is actually pretty good. I used to be able to buy it in my local grocery store and I’d toss veggie nuggets in it. And I suspect as long as it’s still hot by the time you get it (bit of a gamble I know) buffalo wings probably do better with delivery than a lot of other options.

        I don’t think their buffalo sauce is better than any other generic buffalo sauce. Frank’s is my go-to standard. You can get a bottle of Frank’s anywhere for like three bucks. If you’re not doing better than Frank’s, what are you even doing?

      If she wants to fuck with her husband, she’d better take him there to get him in the mood if you know what I’m saying…

      If no one ever told me what Hooters was about when I was younger, I absolutely would have gone to one as an adult thinking it would involve owls. Like a cat cafe, but owls.

    This is exactly why I don’t go to Hooters. I can’t stand being surrounded by men like him. Sir, you’re like 50 and the waitress is barely 20. I miss their wings.
