Chinese Delivery: so good, but not so fast.

Length of Shower: 10 min.---Is it me or is calling for a delivery order to a Chinese food place harder than it should be?  I mean, these people function in normal American society just the same, if not more successfully, as I do; yet I have to repeat myself like 12 times every time I call one of these places.  Now, I’m not racist I’m just saying that I kinda feel like maybe they are doing it on purpose to get some laughs.  I don’t experience this issue when I associate with Asian people in any other experience, just ordering over the phone for Chinese food.  True, maybe it’s the phone, but I doubt it.  I think they work long hours with little entertainment and so they make me repeat simple things just to amuse themselves.  I mean, is repeating my apartment number multiple times really necessary?  When I order pizza all I have to say is “3C” once and it’s fine and they bring it right to my door.  But when I call for Chinese food I have to say, “3C…yes 3….no, no not tree, 3…uh huh…no, no, not just apartment 3 there is a C after it.  No, no NOT tree!  The letter ‘C’ as in ‘cat’.  Yes, ‘C’…no, no not just ‘C’, 3C…both the number 3 and the letter ‘C’ as in ‘cat’…yes, no, no, not ‘3 tree’ 3C!!  The number 3 followed immediately by the letter ‘C’ as in ‘cat’…no, no, the apartment number doesn’t have a cat in the name it’s the letter ‘C’ AS IN ‘cat’…yes, no, no, not ‘3 Cat’…ok, look, just bring it to the address and I’ll meet you downstairs!”  Now I know the whole time that I have ordered there before and the delivery guy knows darn well what apartment I live in but he just doesn’t want to come all the way up the stairs to my actual apartment.  I know this because one time I had a friend of mine who can speak in an Asian accent call in my order.  She didn’t have to repeat herself once and the food got to my place in record time!  Ha!  Now I get it, every time I order Chinese food I need to use that accent and it will all be fine…except I can’t do a Chinese accent, darn it!  I guess I’ll just have to go downstairs to get my Chinese food.  Or maybe I can have the pizza guy pick it up on his way to my apartment; actually I think I'm onto something there.
