For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

That was amazing!! Just wish we got to see the final image of the BIL on the veranda, broken and surrounded by 23 bags of rice

I feel duped! Where is that picture!

Wow. Do they do truck-loads of rice as Cash on Delivery there? If he didn't pre-pay, can he just refuse delivery and not pay? No idea what verbal contract laws are in place.

These sorts of deals are usually based on trust. You might pay beforehand, on delivery, or later. But cancelling / not paying will tank your reputation.

This was the most compelling thing I've ever read

700 ish bags of rice? and he only bought 24. lol

Massive success tbh. Imagine Havin to deal with 700 fucking bags of rice. Those sacks also looks to be 50 kg wholesale sacks meant for ration shops and godowns so thats likely 35 fucking TONS of rice.

EDIT: They're actually 100 kg sacks, so 70 tons.

Still got stuck with 2.4 tons lol. Guess that'll last them like a week

"Final terms: 23 bags, one bottle Old Monk, one bottle scotch*. Everyone is exhausted"

The whole point of this set of twitter pic conversations was the negotiation to not have to buy the whole lorry worth.

That was hilarious, thank you! I must admit I'm morbidly curious as to how one orders a truck of rice by mistake...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming it's a single pallet and the shop owner told the warehouse to send the minimum order amount. BIL probably thought it was just a few bags.
