Tbf is this really a choosing beggar? OP pretended to offer something for free and then stuck them with the bill. If I put a one dollar bill in front of a beggar and yank it away, he’s not a choosy beggar for being annoyed.
Unless the choosy part is “person should have been more specific in their wording, all social interactions are legal contracts with no room for common sense or reasonable interpretation” in which case that is Reddity as fuck and please don’t tell me if that’s your opinion.
Well OP did order the pizza like the friend asked, they didn’t say they will pay for it. Why would that friend expect others to pay for their stuff and then get mad when they don’t?
OP was the guy who sent someone he knew a random message asking to order a pizza for him.
Confused second person agreed to order it and send it along, not to pay for it. “Being generous” can also mean taking time out my schedule to deal with this for you on your behalf for whatever reason.
So… “person should have been more specific in their wording, all social interactions are legal contracts with no room for common sense or reasonable interpretation”?
It’s a image from boredpanda, not a screengrab from the lemmy poster’s phone, in case that needs to be pointed out.
And yes, there are people in this world who take requests quite literally. Doesn’t matter if you approve of that. If anyone I know texted that to me, I would assume they were too busy to call it in or whatever and just needed the assist to get it to them. If they want me to pay, they better say so.
OP should have been specific that he wanted a pizza randomly bought for him.
Yeah, I saw what you already said about such replies. Get over it!
If someone randomly asked me to order them pizza to their job I would’ve done the same. In my experience it’s usually a freeloader who does this who never offers me anything.

Entitlement
It’s a weird thing to ask, sure. But the “I’m feeling nice today” and the “yeah I got you” definitely implied he/she was going to pay
wtf are you talking about?

Apparently OP could pay when the pizza arrived.
So yes, choosing beggar.

You’re fundamentally right, but I cannot bring myself to feel anything but glee for scamming a freeloader. Fuck that entitlement, gaslight away.
Hey bro, can I get you a pizza? You seem tense.
