Tfw my housemate orders ubereats everyday

What kind of manchild orders food multiple times a day?

He literally either can't feed himself or is too lazy to do it. He'd rather eat fast food multiple times a day instead of getting his ass into a store and buying some real food, vegetables and fruit.

How fucked up do you have to be to get like this?
Fuck this is making me angry

He is allowing people to see the inside of your house.
They are going to break in and steal your shit.
You need to kill your roommate.

I know someone who's like that. Has a good paying job but very time consuming and relies entirely on orders, every single lunch and dinner.

It's so bad that he refuses to cook because he thinks handling raw meat is disgusting.

6 figure autist here, I thought I spent a lot on restaurants but I looked at the breakdown recently and it's actually substantially more on groceries

What seems to happen is that when I cook for myself, it gives me too much control. My orthorexia flares and so I have to have only meats and animal products where the animal had a personal name and had all its maslow needs fulfilled. All the produce has to be local whenever possible, never can be of any commodity-tier cultivars, must be at the peak of seasonality, cheese must never be from pasteurized milk, and so on. The wine must be chosen, and it must be chosen for the meal. Again, no constellation crap, preferably estate bottled, international varietals are not completely rejected but preferably avoided. Indigenous yeasts, minimal sulfur, and preferably organic or biodynamic farming are preferentially sought. And so on. So you might think it's possible to get by with maybe $100 a week on groceries since it's just dinner for one a few times a week, right? Except, no. Not really.

When I dine out that's quite a bit less realistic, there are restaurants that cater to such requirements but they're not the kind of place you can just walk into, bark a few words, and bring a tray back to the office to inhale in the breakroom while trying not to trigger your coworkers with the smell of a kind of actual food that isn't dinosaur tendies

So, for me, restaurants and Blue Apron and that sort of thing provide a useful stabilizing influence so that I don't spiral into the abyss and turn out like that scrawny alien looking thing that was in the news a few years ago. Surprisingly it is possible to sometimes let shitfood that might have at some point come from Sysco and/or a factory farm touch your mouth and I won't die or start vomiting uncontrollably. I find this keeps me grounded.

6 fig dingus here as well. I have been wasting way to much on food for the last 5 years; I have been spending about 30 - 70 a day on food. It is not good, I could be saving an extra 12 - 15k a year on food if I ate more smarter.

I have enough money to go to a good restaurant day and night if I wanted, but the groceries and cooking are part of the fun and the experience. Especially the groceries, selecting your products.

I guess it's probably easier and more fun in a town/country that offers a lot of good things for a decent price. Unpasteurized creme fraiche, milk, cheese are absolutely everywhere, and these don't go for a high price.

But the main reason why I try to go to restaurants as little as I can is because I love food too much and I would become a fat fuck if I go to restaurants everyday. At least cooking my own food allows me to control my ingredients.

Yeah I have those same thoughts but then I make a plan, and I realize, what the fuck, I can shove CAFO shit down my throat for six months and what am I even going to do with the extra money? I could commute on a Pinarello Dogma F8 like some kind of dentist retard, instead of a normal steel touring bike like everyone else? Dump it in the magical abstraction that represents my qualify of life when I'm old? I'll probably suicide or get run over by cager by then so it doesn't matter.

And in the meantime I'd rather my body not be full of toxins and I'd have to go vegetarian because I hate the way CAFO meat smells when it's cooking

I work with a guy who does this, but he's also a chef, so I get it. You get home late, you're tired, he's making good money.

Cooking at home for him is just time not spent playing vidya, I get it.

Offer to cook for both of you if he is willing to pay for the groceries from now on or something

I'm the same, ubereats has taken over my life. I'm not on the best money though. But what doesn't go to rent and shit goes straight to food.

How fucked would your're life have to be to become a delivery boy for ubereats?

I'm in college and I do it. I drive around a few hours a day while listening to music. Makes alright money especially on the weekends.

I've been thinking about picking it up because I live in a city thats really (ridiculously) easy to get around on a bike and I work 3-4 days a week

I like getting high and aimlessly riding around the city anyway so it'd be cool to make at least a bit of money doing it

and spend it all on drugs and alcohol, of course

For me, it's the canned vegetables and mass-produced meats.

its an addiction, in my case I have severe social anxiety and order takeout in order to minimize my human interaction. the fact that I can order pressing 1 button on my phone and say pretty much nothing to anyone is a god sent but at the same time its also killing my health.

i have social anxiety and cooking for myself really helps me w/ dealing with it

eating shit fast food and spending all your money on it just perpetuates where you are right now

Are you sure it's uber eats? Because uber eats doesn't deliver to your door, it's curb side only

Yea, only ex-cons work for uber-eats. Good luck.

Now calculate how much you're spending on maintenance and gas, Uber is always a scam.
Its like cashing out the lifetime of your vehicle, cost per mile driven makes the wages you make irrelevant.

Not him but my car has 168k miles on it and I'm about to start uber eats since I'm unemployed. I'll only be doing it for 2 weeks until my job test and interview. Gonna see how the pay is compared to the expenses (gas). As for maintenance, I work on cars as a side hobby so that's a very minor issue for me.
Is delivering for uber or even companies like Amazon really that bad?

Money is money. user is just being a dick.

>Now calculate how much you're spending on maintenance and gas
Wow you've really opened my eyes user. Driving for a living and filling up often really makes you forget that gas costs money. The math is not difficult and I do it multiple times as I'm driving to find my hourly wage after gas and with tips. It still beats most college side jobs and can really make you a pretty penny on weekends when they pay more and the tips are high. I'm an Veeky Forums fag as well so I do my own maintenance and order my parts off rockauto which cuts down on expenses like you wouldn't believe.

what's uberbeat

maybe hes just lonely

I cook professionally for 60+ hours a week in one of the best restaurants in my city

You can go fuck yourself if you think I'm gonna put clothes on to go to the grocery store on my day off and buy food that's going to rot in my fridge for a week until I have another day off instead of ordering a pizza

it costs about 57 cents a mile in the US to maintain the average vehicle, just make sure you add that to your calculations, add gas costs and then taxes on your vehicle, your insurance and such the hours you take to do your own repairs...
if it's profitable for you that's great, but I doubt it is for most people.
It is like taking out a payday loan on the remaining lifespan of your vehicle for those.

No need to get so butthurt anons, I'm simply offering criticisms.

>the absolute state of millenials
anyway, nice blog where do I sub

so this is the power of autism

you sound dutch

Thats kind of a contradiction,Spending all your money doesnt make you rich and these are the kind of people who have to houseshare.
