Chinese restaurant delivered me ciggarettes

    I didnt think they were gonna actually do it but they did. So anwhoo, last Tuesday, me and a mate thought we would order a Chinese but decided against it. However it was late, nothing open, and I needed ciggys..........so, for a laugh, more then anything else I rang up one of the the local Chinese restaurant's anyway......and they took my address then asked me what I would like to order - I said '20 John Player Blue' (I dont smoke them but seemed logical they would only sell the most popular) and the Chinese guy on the line said 'k' 'bye' or something like that.

    So I assumed that he thought I was taking the piss out of them - but then about an hour later a ford focus (its always a small car) pulled into the drive way and, no mess, when I opened the door the guy (an unhappy looking big guy) handed me 20 John Player Blue, and left! I was relieved but thought something was a little strange about it. Anyway got a good laugh out of it and it was probrably funnier then all those times we ordered Chinese for our neighbours without them knowing. Bizarre.:pac:

    First you want us to prepare an army for the invading Chinese and now you're getting them to run errands.

    Make up your mind.

    What? Cause I ordered ciggarettes? - I did not expect them to come all the way out to my house to deliver a packet of ciggarettes (well, maybe I thought there was a slight chance) - I was very happy with the service though!

    Interesting.

    You say Chinese restaurants are now part of a slavetrade and are more than willing to sell slaves to you. What's even more amazing is that they were able to bring you 20 people of the same name.

    Could it be? Have the Chinese figured out a cheap way to mass clone people. And they're using it in order to create profit for themselves? I knew capitalism would get them one day!

    And you got cigarettes too? Indeed, this will breed addiction. The more addicted you become to their product the more you'll buy from them. They really have surpassed us.

    what did you think he was going to do, stand there and smoke them with you, you should have offered him one for being so immature in the first place

    There was a hackney driver around here for a while that would taken an order off you for pretty much anything, booze, fags, food, shopping, go and collect it for you and deliver to your door! Pretty cool service if you were from around the town, charger a fiver for the privilege. :) Course he probably knew most of his customers so he wouldn't get stung for the lot, small towns an all that.

    Chinese food has been shown to contain high amounts of MSG which is carcinogenic.

    You made the right choice OP.

    used to work in domino's and we'd get that off stoners all the time, looking for smokes, skins, chocolate, other crap to be delivered (when they actually ordered food too of course...)

    was strange the first time it happened, and i felt a bit silly asking the driver who was doing the delivery, but he was all "yea yea no problem they always tip well when you do that"

    ****in druggies with more money than sense!!!

    no, we're delegating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,288 ✭✭✭✭ntlbell


    ours used to go to the offo and bring beer/smokes but you had to order food.

    I think if they're close to an offo most will do it if you're a regular and ask nicley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,299 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    My local pizza place has cans and fags behind the counter so they just bring them straight to you

    apparently not, just the cigs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭poisonated


    Haha I must try that sometime. The only place that I can get food near me is dominoes and they have a minimum order of 20 euro.
