Delivery/take out food is one of the posher elements of middle class life.

You kick your feet up, spend a few minutes on your phone, do whatever you want in your own home for about 15 minutes, and then dinner arrives.


For one woman, all that convenience came at a price—dinner along side the Christian faith.

Reddit's "Am I the A**hole" forum is aptly named. People explain a recent experience or encounter they've had, describe their actions and motivations throughout the conflict, and ask if, indeed, they were an a**hole.

Reddit user "Sbbazzz" recently took to the site to ask how she ought to respond to what she feels was a restaurant faux pas.

After she and her husband received their food from a "small restaurant in town," they quickly noticed that the packaging was enough to throw them off.

"The thing is, EVERY takeout item they wrote some sort of Bible verse. Upon looking on their website they don't appear to be overly religious."

She then outlined her beef, and wondered what was the best next move.

"I just think it's really messed up to push your religion on someone like that and I wish I would've ordered."
"What do you guys think? Was this over the top and I'm justified in requesting a refund?"

The Reddit community came in hot with wide-ranging takes regarding her possible request for a refund.

A few agreed with her taking issue over what felt like imposed religion.

One Redditor put it very simply.

"Religion is like Dick. It's fine and all to have, it's cool that you are proud of it, just don't go shoving it down my throat or anything." -- Bastianator

Another supported her in being struck by the packaging.

But they considered some current events may be at play.

"What kind of Bible verses were they? The 'repent or burn in hell' kind or the 'this too shall pass' kind?"
"It's rude to push religion on people when you don't know what they believe, but I think that right now, a lot of people are trying to show their support for each other and sometimes that takes the form of religion."
"Not everyone realizes how rude people outside of their religion might consider overt displays of religious well-wishes." -- SecretlyFBI

Most, however, thought demanding money back was too intense a response to the versed packaging.

"Based on the available info, your reaction is dramatic and uncalled for. Just throw the packaging out and eat you darn food." -- LG227
"Pathetic that seeing a Bible verse triggers you this hard lol" -- Impossible_Pianist
"Who cares. With everything else going on in the world how is this what for your panties in a bunch? Let it go." -- amicoolnowguyz
"You would be within your rights to call in and ask that they not scribble their religion all over your packaging."
"You cannot demand a refund because somebody wrote their nonsense on your packaging when your food was not tampered with." -- Upgradedcannonfodder
"Was the food good? Did you get what you ordered? Did it arrive in a timely fashion? That's all that's important." -- tappytaps

Others offered alternatives to a refund that would still provide her some satisfaction.

"At the very least I'd write a complaint about it on Yelp or Google reviews or something and letting them know that it made you uncomfortable." -- antinatalistFtM
"I'd call the restaurant and explain what happened to a manager. If the manager/owner didn't know an employee was doing that, they may offer a refund or a voucher for your next meal free."
"If the manager knew and didn't realize that it may be unwanted, they may offer the same again."
"If the manager knew and doesn't care, well, now you know not to order from there again." -- therealmegluvsu

One comment put this into perspective.

"I'm envious that you have so few problems in your life that you have the energy to be offended over this." -- MrsB16

There are certainly worse things that could be happening. But forcing your beliefs on others still isn't cool.

So what is the right thing to do?

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
