so much of the time, the reason i don’t say anything when someone says a thing that makes no sense, is because it WILL make sense if i just shut up and observe for a while

- be me. Order delivery

- Delivery driver sends a message in the app

- says order is delayed and he’s still waiting for it

- i reply

- “no worries, just let me know when it’s ready”

- wait a while

- no call yet

- go back to the app

- new message appears.

- says only: “instead.”

- instead of what???

- is he asking if i want to order from somewhere else instead?

- is he saying they substituted something in the order?

- what?

- i notice the messages are auto translated from Spanish.

- The original Spanish says “en cambio”

- trying to think of other possible meanings for “en cambio.” is he talking about getting change? About getting something in return? What

- app says he’s almost here now.

- OHHHHHH

- it was a typo

- he was en camino. “On the way”

- and i did not need to ask anyone any awkward questions to find out

- yay

:)
