If you can only see one image, try a different Lemmy client, as there are multiple.

That was amazing!! Just wish we got to see the final image of the BIL on the veranda, broken and surrounded by 23 bags of rice
I feel duped! Where is that picture!
This was the most compelling thing I’ve ever read
That was hilarious, thank you! I must admit I’m morbidly curious as to how one orders a truck of rice by mistake…
I’m assuming it’s a single pallet and the shop owner told the warehouse to send the minimum order amount. BIL probably thought it was just a few bags.
Looks more like a single container
700 ish bags of rice? and he only bought 24. lol
Massive success tbh. Imagine Havin to deal with 700 fucking bags of rice. Those sacks also looks to be 50 kg wholesale sacks meant for ration shops and godowns so thats likely 35 fucking TONS of rice.
EDIT: They’re actually 100 kg sacks, so 70 tons.
Still got stuck with 2.4 tons lol. Guess that’ll last them like a week
“Somebody needs to go back and get a shitload of onions!”
23?
“Final terms: 23 bags, one bottle Old Monk, one bottle scotch*. Everyone is exhausted”
The whole point of this set of twitter pic conversations was the negotiation to not have to buy the whole lorry worth.
Your comment says 24
🙄
Wow. Do they do truck-loads of rice as Cash on Delivery there? If he didn’t pre-pay, can he just refuse delivery and not pay? No idea what verbal contract laws are in place.
These sorts of deals are usually based on trust. You might pay beforehand, on delivery, or later. But cancelling / not paying will tank your reputation.
Man I need that image of man on verandah
I need a smoke after that.
Fuck that was a great read.
In what country does “truck” refer to an SUV? I’m in America and I assumed at least a pickup truck.
Which is the same size basically
A pickup has a bed and can carry much more rice than an SUV. I have no idea why anyone would assume they meant an SUV.
Pickup trucks and SUVs are both classified as light trucks. Also most of them are built on the same frames
And this is reflected colloquially? Like, people straight up call SUV’s “trucks?” People think of SUV’s first when someone says “trucks?”
