Happened to call hubby as he was going past Five Guys. Asked if he wanted to go there for dinner. He said since he was right there, he would pick up the burgers. I told him that I wanted a 1 patty burger with lettuce, tomatoes and raw onions. You wanna guess what I got? I was so mad!!!! A 2 patty soggy bun with mustard, ketchup, cooked onion, pickles and cooked mushrooms. He said that when they asked him what he wanted on it he said "everything". Turns out he doesn't know what that is. We rarely go there. So pissed. Unrational and pissed. Have I said how pissed I was. Oh . . . the fries were COLD! Why you ask. . . because he had to wait 10 minutes for his shake after the fries came out. You would think he would know to ask for new fries, right? Not my husband. I absolutely can't stand this about him. It's been this way since 1979, when we met. I know it will never change but I'm still worked up about it. So what did I eat for dinner. A cheese stick and peanuts. At least no one can mess those up. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body, was ready to go out and get me the burger the way I wanted, but no I don't want it now. I wanted it then with the hot and crispy fries. Rant over (but not in my head)

Hangry is one of the worst forms of angry.  Did he at least bring home some of the peanuts? |

I’ll validate this, DH used to be terrible and it drove me crazy. After going back for the correct item many, many times he has gotten better. There are still instances but they are much fewer and farther in between. Something that helps is me texting him the order. That doesn’t mean he always checks, but it helps.

Mine, on the very rare occasion that he’s the one getting the food, makes me write it down or text it so he can verbatim. Cause I’m with you. I’m very specific about my food and drink. Yesterday my sonic order of an ice cream slush was given to me as just a slush. I felt too nice to complain so I took it but grrrrr.

Can you use Doordash to order a new burger? I’d be mad, too!

I'm sorry, that sucks. But I will say that in this situation, I'm your husband. I'll order exactly what is requested, but I usually just assume they got it right and don't check it. I also wouldn't think to ask for fresh fries, just totally not on my radar  .....and my dh would be at least as angry and frustrated as you are, without a doubt. |

I always say a true testimony of a good relationship is if someone can order you a sandwich without asking you what you want on it

Whenever I pick up food I have someone in my family text me each order separately. I then double, triple check to make sure that their orders are hot and right.
Then I get home and usually my order has something wrong with it.
At least your hangry and do not have yourself to blame.

I do validate your disappointment!

I check to make sure the correct number of sandwiches and fries are there. That’s it. But I understand your frustration is at him for not ordering what you asked.
Aside - I don’t like cheeseburgers. at Burger King you have to say whopper with no cheese. If you say plain whopper you get a burger on a bun. Period. That was a disappointing day.

I liken this to getting food with cheese on it. I won’t touch it.

Girl, please know that I mean this in the most loving and supportive way possible, and I hope you won't be angry at me though I understand if you are.
Zoloft.
When I found myself stratospherically pissed off over things like an incorrect sandwich order, I knew I had reached the stage in life where my peri-menopausal brain needed some chemical assistance.
Life is too short to be that mad about a hamburger. I say that with all the love in the world. See your doctor and take up yoga. You'll be so much happier.

Oh, I totally understand. I hate onions and mustard, so when DH brought home a burger for me once I got ONLY mustard and onion. How hard is it to open the bag and check that one? Yeah, I had peanut butter toast that day. There's one place close to us that always gets the entire order correct, all the others suck.

I always say a true testimony of a good relationship is if someone can order you a sandwich without asking you what you want on it I’m doing good then. I can go anywhere in town and get my husband food made to his order. He can’t say the same back but you can’t have it all I guess. |

I always text my DH to order exactly what I want... Then get pissed if it is wrong... cause he'll still screw something up.. lol.. As long as it doesn't have a lick of mustard on my burger I can pretty much take anything off of it and be fine. Put mustard on it and I become a monster. And add cheese. Gotta have cheese.
I would have sent my DH to Smashburger.. I am not a fan of Five Guys at all. Been there once and it was terrible.

I've never had "crispy" fries from Five Guys and I wouldn't think to ask for new ones either.

While we are complaining about HB-''
I made mistake of going into MD for a normal (to me) HB.
They had all the cute names--I finally said I want an old fashioned HB, no cheese--I have no idea what you are calling that, said I.
Then I got in car with the bag--I had a bun and piece of meat.
I was pissed.
I guess that people in Missouri call that a HB, but in Texas an old fashioned HB has meat, lettuce, tomato, pickle and the bun...Onion if person wants that.

Life is too short to be that mad about a hamburger. I say that with all the love in the world. See your doctor and take up yoga. You'll be so much happier. When my boy was young, and I would uncharacteristicly blow up about something that would otherwise just been a blip on the radar, he learned to gently touch my arm and say that it must be my hormones and that maybe some chocolate would make things better. I was initially embarrassed that he had observed this about me, especially before I realized it myself, but he was always able to tell when I was pms’ng. I had horrible mood swings during my pms days. I agree that that if you are this angry about something like this that has been a part of your husband’s persona for years, maybe a mood stabilizer isn’t a bad thing to look into. On them, you probably would have just stuck the fries in the oven to reheat them and tossed the soggy buns, feeling mild irritation. I am on them now due to anxiety attacks that come with fibromyalgia. It isn’t so bad. |

I guess I am the lucky one. Hubby wil call when he is in the process of ordering, to verify my order. He walks in to order and will not use the drive through. And really, you expect hot food when it has to be taken home before you can eat it? When I can I have him get me tater tots cause the fries are ALWAYS going to be cold by the time he gets home with them.
