Sometimes I think my brother is cool. Right now, I do not think my brother is cool. For the reason why, consider the following hypothetical scenario.
If you were handed a debit card (that was not your own) and were asked by the owner of that debit card to go to a cheesesteak place near the debit card owner's home and were asked to buy six cheesesteaks for the family (under the assumption of the debit card owner that there would be two cheesesteaks each for you and the person you would be eating them with, who lives twelve miles away from the debit card owner, and one cheesesteak each for the debit card owner and the person she would be eating them with), and on your way to the cheesesteak place received a text message saying that the debit card owner wanted three cheesesteaks, which would mean that you would have to purchase seven, rather than six, would you:
a) Buy seven cheesesteaks
b) Buy six cheesesteaks, and say that you only got the text after you had already bought them
c) Buy an unspecified number of cheesesteaks and drive out the twelve miles to eat your cheesesteaks and waste time with your cheesesteak-eating buddy before returning to the debit card owner's residence (with her debit card, car, and cheesesteaks) because you felt pissy about being asked to buy another cheesesteak
If you picked answer C, you are a douche. You also think like my brother. It's been an hour since he left, and I'm really fucking hungry. I'm extra irritable because he ate the half of my cheesesteak that I was saving for later the last time we got cheesesteaks, and so he owes me a goddamn cheesesteak. The fries are going to be disgusting by the time he gets home. >B|
edit: And the total time from requesting food to receiving food is two hours. Fortunately it did not require heating. Equally fortunately, the fries were different from the last time, and were surprisingly edible. The two-hour wait was still rather unacceptable.
