The Phone Order Fear

Last night was Andy’s big draft day for his fantasy football league. Just like millions of other men out there in the world he was looking forward to this day when he could pick his players to create his fantasy league. As you read earlier I just don’t get it, but even though I don’t get it I was being supportive last night. I did not make fun of him once and I even took the dog out to go to the bathroom while he waited online for the next chime to let him know it’s his turn to pick. I even ate dinner at 5pm with all the other blue hairs in the world just so Andy could make his draft on time which was scheduled for 6pm. I am not a fan of eating at 5pm, but I am such a good girlfriend that I gave in only after probably one joke about accommodating his fantasy draft. Andy wanted to order Chinese food for dinner because he said he was hungry for it; however, I think it was because he didn’t trust that I would have dinner cooked by 6pm. Anyway, Andy has this weird issue with ordering food and I just don’t get it. Anytime we order food he makes me order because he just doesn’t like calling. He will throw a tantrum if I don’t order it. It’s actually pretty funny. I asked him 20 times last night for a reason as to why he has an issue on ordering food over the phone and he doesn’t know why this is. I remember his mother telling me that Andy was always like this even as a kid he would make his younger brother order the pizza. Which, by the way you can order your pizza online now instead of over the phone so you can imagine how happy this makes Andy. He will actually order pizza online over Chinese food if I refuse to call. The only reason why I refuse to call is just to see if Andy will actually give in and call, but he just won’t. Andy’s issue is actually to my advantage because when he pulls the “I am not calling” thing he says “I will buy if you call” which works out to my benefit. Anyway, maybe someday he will surprise me and pick up the phone and make that call to our favorite Chinese delivery and place the order for Moo Shoo Pork and Chicken Fried Rice!

Serisouly, when is the book coming out? I can't take it!!! It's to funny - maybe he just doesn't want to always hear - 10 minute or end up with flied lice?

Well I am glad you are enjoying it. Yes, Andy hates ordering Chinese for the fact that they never understand us. On Sunday I had to say and spell my address 7 times before they got it. Plus I had to repeat my order at least three times. So, I guess that I understand, but what about the pizza order?? HE HE!

That is the simple fact of why I don't eat Chinese. Kidding I hate it actually. Can't you order Chinese online - put it in their suggestion box - please get a website so my boyfriend can order.
