Well, yeah that was kind of the point. I just wanted them to know that I was disappointed in the pizza. I don't expect anything out of this at all. But maybe they will remember the crazy person email next time they are making a pizza! 

ok, yeah. this is whapt i thought you meant. i don't knowwhy everyone thinks you are serious with this email.

it would be different if it were actually funny. its just a poorly constructed mess with period blood all over it.

Please don't use your period/PMS as an excuse/reason that you are upset.

The feminist in me wilted a bit.

Please stop giving women a bad name! This is why men say we must be PMSing.

Can I just ask a question to clarify something? Does nobody else ever get upset over stupid crap when they are pmsing? Why is it so terrible to say "Hey! This is irrational as fuck, but I'm having my period so something that wouldn't bug me so much regularly is really getting me down!" 

I guess I don't understand why it is ok to say that people shouldn't cross a pregnant woman, but any mention of pms and it's a terrible thing. I'm being serious here, I must be missing something pretty big and I would like to know what.

But... it is the main reason I was SO upset. Obviously it is TMI, but that doesn't seem to be the (main) issue.

Using your period as an excuse allows men to also use women's period as an excuse. i.e. "Oh, ignore that little lady, she's just PMS'ing... silly girl!"

I get emotional as fuck when I have PMS, but it's just really inappropriate to email that to a complete stranger. Pull yourself together woman,and realize that they could give 2 flying fucks about your menstral cycle

Oh ok. Thank you for explaining it. I guess I just didn't really think about it? I suppose I was looking at it as "I am having my period, so I know that's why I am more upset than I would be normally". I do understand now though that it can be counterproductive to ... reinforce the stereotype? This drink went right to my head, so I'm sorry if my typing is disjointed. But I will try to not do it in the future. I don't know that I've ever had someone assume I was PMSing when I was upset before, so that may be why I didn't realise.

omg you guys are being kind of bitchy. i think this girl sounds drunk and it makes her post funny.

Agreed.

I thought it was meant to be funny.

And we've all talked about crazy ass things we've done due to hormones. Or because it was Saturday. And drunk. 

[blackcat]

(huh)

[jenmegs]

Ok! Too late now, but I'll know for next time. I think that I might have used my period as a reason/excuse because I don't like it when people feel they have to make things right with me, and this sort of gives them an out. If that makes sense to anyone outside my head. Jesus. I should probably just go to bed. Have to get up early to rip out more walls.

It really was supposed to be funny, but I can see how it has the potential to be offensive as well now.

You're kidding right? You're just joking about having sent that? Because that is a ridiculous complaint letter. And saying that it's your time of the month...totally not necessary.

I'm sure people get upset about stupid things all the time, regardless of the time of month.  It is dumb to use PMS as an excuse or a point in an actual complaint.

It is not at all comparable to joking about crossing pregnant women on a message board.

It's not offensive.

It's dumb.

Some people even like they're advanced periods. They're so classy.

"Finally, in case you think that this email is over the top, and I shouldn't be so upset, I would like you to take a look at the women in your life. Perhaps you have been around when they have a special time of the month? Yes? THEN GET THE FREAKING PIZZA ORDER RIGHT NEXT TIME!"

Say what now? Step away from the email/internet right away.

maybe write an email to your uterus then?

If you order another pizza from these people ever again, I think it's safe to assume you'll be getting a few extra toppings. Ones you certainly wouldn't ask for.

Congratulations for being the nutter who can never order pizza delivery again. Unless you move.

Because she wasn't thinking rationally.

I thought we'd already covered this.

Because you can get unlimited toppings there, instead of being charged $2.50 per topping. I like getting random stuff on my pizza. I was hopeful that this time it would be done correctly.

I can order from the other bajillion places in the city. I should have ordered from our regular place, but I was so hopeful that I could get what I wanted from here. 

[statlerwaldorf]

Fwiw I would roll my eyes hard if you were pregnant and mentioned pregnancy hormones in the email too. It's just one of those things that might be acceptable to say in a message board, but is annoying as shit IRL to a random employee at a company.

That pizza that you ordered? Sounds vile. you'd be better off picking through the trash and dumping that on a Tombstone. It would also take less than an hour.

There, I just solved all your problems. Feel free to send me an insane letter.

[TrickyBob]

This is too much thought for pizza. It's pizza.

Open pie hole, stuff in pie.

Tell me more about your period.
