I ordered a turkey avocado wrap for dinner today.
Since I don't like waiting for takeout food, I called ahead so it would be ready when I got there. When placed the order the guy on the phone said, "okay, I'll see you in 5 minutes."
Five minutes? What, did he think I was calling from the parking lot? I've waited longer than that in the drive-thru at Burger King! Not to mention the fact that it takes quite a bit longer than 5 minutes to traverse the distance between my house and the sandwich shop.
I thanked the sandwich guy for his diligence, but admitted that I wouldn't actually BE there in 5 minutes. To which he responded, "more like 8 to 10 minutes then?"
Uh yeah, sure. Whatever.
It took me a full 15 minutes to get to the sandwich shop, and when I got there they hadn't even started making my wrap. I can only assume this is some sort of cosmic backlash for not setting all my clocks back.
