Chit-Chat: a good ol' fashioned DCC!

had covid 2 years ago during the height of the omicron variant going around. had every symptom in the book, was fully vaccinated, and felt like shit for 2 weeks
 
I couldn't honestly tell you if I ever got COVID or not. There were a couple of times I developed symptoms, but they went away fairly quickly (I attributed it to food poisoning or a common cold) and I never bothered to get tested for it.

COVID did, however, introduce me to Doordash lol rip
 
ugh... doordash. not doing it ever again. I've had baaaaad experiences (or maybe I just have bad luck with ordering food).

Long story short, I had a craving for Panda Express and ordered a plate with fried rice, chow mein, beef broccoli and teriyaki chicken. I placed the order 20 minutes before the cutoff time, and according to my tracker, my "doordasher" didn't move an inch for 20 minutes. I messaged her, "hey, are you ok? I think the restaurant is about to close..." she never responded.

My food came cold -- one hour later.

no more!!!!
 
The worst part of living rural in the U.S is lack of public transportation. It basically requires a car.

And rural drivers act lawless.

I've had countless people illegally pass me at lightning blur speeds.
 
Yeah, my family moved to the middle of nowhere when I was halfway through high school. I never got adjusted to it and left home literally days after graduating.

And now I live in a large city haha
 
Moving to the suburbs was the best choice I made. Years ago I wanted to live downtown at a high-rise apartment close to bars and restaurants and even work! But I realized I could just rent an apartment near almost everything in the suburbs, for half of what I would pay for rent downtown.
 
as someone who drove for doordash for a little bit...

don't do it and don't order through them

they pay the drivers like shit, and customers can literally ruin a driver's score for something simple as like not following directions (because they didn't answer their doorbell when you rung and it said to ring it)

that $2 tip you guys give your doordash/uber eats/grubhub driver may wind up being all they get for delivering your food, so keep that in ind.

Same with Lyft/Uber. At one point I drove for Lyft for a short time and I realized it was doing a number for my car, and the safety risk wasn't worth it. All the money I was earning went straight for gas fill-ups.

Yeah, no doordash for me anymore. It sucks.
 
I don't use them anyway but if I ever live in the city, I won't. I'm learning to drive myself.
I'm almost done my driver's ed course :)
 
The problem is, many pizza places (and others) that used to hire their own delivery drivers now contract their deliveries out to Doordash, so they might end up delivering your food even if you order directly from the restaurant's own web site - as I've found out the hard way.
 
^ yeah... I'd prefer to drive to the store/restaurant to pick up my pizza.

and not just that, many drivers can't find my apartment building because it's hidden compared to others. xD
 
I got a community sponsor for 1 free large pizza per week. It lasted a full year. (it was rewarded for each person in our class who met a sales quota).

I took full advantage of it and shared it with my family.

This house isn't even on GPS, Google Maps doesn't show it. Many times I've had to direct people here over the phone or text.
 
One of the roads into my complex has been closed for over three years for seemingly endless construction, and some GPS systems still direct you to use the closed street. It doesn't help that the other street leading into my complex is fairly new, the product of another construction project, go figure lol

Something very similar happened to me (although it was at the start of HS), so I can definitely relate; I'm planning on moving out the second I can because rural living is not for me at all.
 
Yeah, I wanna move back into town/in the city. I hate driving :x
 
My commute to my office usually takes me 35 minutes to downtown. There is rarely traffic when I leave my home, but the traffic coming back home is a nightmare.

While I'd love to live just down the street from my office, I think I'm good where I'm at.
