I made a deal with my housemate, and we stopped ordering Uber Eats and calling laundry people.

Last week, I talked with my housemate, Matt, after he cursed the DoorDash driver nonstop.

I was pleasantly surprised, and I peeked through the window and saw the driver running away from the madness.

The driver looked like a middle-aged man, tall, medium built, and wore a well-made dark brown loafer.

I ran downstairs and asked Matt what the problem was. He was angry that they charged him more than he expected. I investigated his claimed and asked to see the recipe. The meal recipe total was $51.22. Delivery and tip were $18.

"OMG, $51.22 for lunch! That must be a mistake." I guessed.

I joked that he was a rich man. Matt fought back and was angry with me for mentioning the rich man.

"The rich man! The rich are milking our economy, destroying everything in this country, and we don't have middle class anymore." He said.
