Bizarre falafel incident Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Ok, so me and a buddy was going to buy some pizza to munch while watching the F1 race on TV. We decided to try a different pizzeria than the one next to my house īcause their pizzas are not that exciting. So we go to another one down the street. We get there and I order some falafel since I wasnīt in a pizza mood. Itīs all well and good we pay for our food and go to my place.

When we sit down to eat and watch the race I discover that I have in fact got kebab instead of falafel, since Iīm a vegeterian I now have nothing to eat. I call up the pizzeria and says exactly that, the guy answering the phone says heīs very sorry and that I can get a falafel instead. I say that I will come by after the race and eat the falafel I actually payed for. No sweat. Not three minutes later the phone rings and itīs the owner whoīs yelling at me for claiming to have ordered the wrong thing and trying to get a free meal. I tell him I ordered a falafel and that my buddy heard me order it. He continues to shout and says that I ordered a kebab because thatīs what heīs written down. And he says that I didnīt protest when the guy cut up the kebab meat and put it in the box. The fact that I was sitting at a table reading the newspaper with my back to the counter didnīt matter apparently...

I try some more to assert my right to the falafel I actually paid for, but the owner wonīt have anyting to do with that. So I just say to him that that was the first and last time that I buy anything from his crappy excuse for a pizzeria and hang up on him...

I mean, WTF?? Is this guy mental or something? Phoning up customers and argue with them over a lousy falafel with fries? Even IF I had ordered a kebab instead of a falafel by mistake, he shouldnīt have argued with me. Especially not phoning me up and telling me Iīm an idiot who doesnīt know what he orders...

So how could I get revenge on this sorry ass mother****er? Nothing too violent though...

Do they deliver or take orders over the phone for pick-up? If so, you could just start a campaign of calling in phony orders. So he wastes time and money making food that ends up going to waste.

Of course, it's probably best just to let it go.

I fed it to my buddy, but it wasnīt that good. Low grade meat and the fries were not deep fried enough. Soggy and undercooked at the same time, now thatīs something

I thought about ordering huge amounts of pizza and not picking it up or ordering stuff to be delivered to the pizzeria. Like huge vats of lard or new expensive furniture.

But I donīt know. Lifeīs too short to spend plotting revenge for petty things like this...

Well, the lesson is, don't be a fanatic about your food. It's okay for vegitarians to eat meat every once in a while. It's not like it's a religion.

Nah, Iīm not that annoyed anymore. Maybe the guy just had a bad day, or had been hustled like that before by some freeloaders trying to score a free meal. If I would constantly walk around and be annoyed that people did stupid things Iīd be doing nothing else...

I have nothing against eating meat, I just donīt like it. Like I donīt like Chčvre or Parmesan cheese. Or any kind of fancy cheese for that matter.

You should make large propoganda posters with faces of honest hardworking men and women with quotes describing the story and exposing that capitalist fascist falafel enterprise for what it is - cheap and unkind!

Seriously though, if you dont' fear getting in court for slander (or you think you won't get sued) make some posters and hang around the neighbourhood.
