Lol abortion should be legal until 81 months
Kid thought he was the mayor from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs apparently. >

Might as well be a music video for It's Raining Tacos >

Well the food starts coming
And they don't stop coming
Food for days and my tummy is rumbling >

Man he ordered like 10 meals on GrubHub. >

Went to order some tacos the other day. $5 per taco! I’m talking street tacos here, like 3 bites. Outrageous. >

don't forget the $20 delivery >

Don't forget the driver only gets $3 of that $20 fee.
I've been tempted to make business cards and hand them out to customers so we can skip the middle man >

Oh so that's why the shipper at my job doesn't clock out when he disappears to do his grubhub and doordash lunch deliveries.... >

It's a good thing the kid clicked on Grubhub and not Tinder >

Or Grindr.  Ooof that wouldn't look good for the poor visitor when mother came home. >

Mother: little timmy found me a date! >

You even brought sausage pizza for us? Well, we'll just give that to Little Timmy and enjoy an evening out. >

I know there’s r/kidsarefuckingstupid but is there one for parents too? >

It's r/kidsarefuckingunsupervised. >

Read this as "gun supervised" and got confused for a moment. >

Some kids apparently aren't gun supervised either... >

Also in Michigan. >

The mom's bakery got some free advertising, though. >

Yeah, call me a cynic, but it seems odd that not only was the bakery mentioned by name, but there was a fucking link to its Facebook page. >

Nah, the fact she owns a bakery ties into the story because it's how they had enough fridge space for all the food, and this looks like a local news outlet. It would have been shitty of them to not mention the bakery name, and linking to a small business's site is getting more common when it gets mentioned in a news article. >

The dad is the one that mentioned it specifically by name. I guess I don't blame him for taking advantage of free advertising, though. >

Well, technically, he's paid $1,000 for the advertising. Might as well get his money's worth somehow. I just think it's hilarious that $460 of pizza was almost on the way as well. Damn, that kid clicks faster than a god damn cookie clicker. >

If only there was something like Face ID, or fingerprint, or passcode to prevent unauthorized purchases… >

Am I the only fucker than manually puts in my details? Unless the app is set up to directly open up my banking app which requires my touch ID?
Like listen if I want takeout, I'm sure I can spend 30s putting in my details. Sometimes I've been halfway through and said to myself that I don't really need to buy this for x reason. >

Apple Pay is secure and requires Face ID to work. >

Classic Berners Street Hoax prank. >

Fun read - thanks for that!
Sounds like an episode of The Dollop >

Love that podcast! >

On old girlfriend of mine's 10 year old spent almost $10k on iTunes before she noticed.  Credit card bills that get paid automatically without review are dangerous!  Apple refunded a ton of it.   I hear they aren't so good about that these days. >

Wasn’t there a kid that spent like 20,000 on loot boxes for FIFA a couple years back? >

lol the shameless plug for his wife's business and the news website happily links it!! >

Can't blame them! I don't see how they could get the money back, so at least this way they can view that 1k as a really expensive ad fee. >

To be fair, he did get food out of it. At an inflated cost, for sure, but at least it wasn't spent on loot boxes in some mobile game (although if that were the case he might have been able to get the charges reversed?) >

$1000? So he ordered two meals? >

Nah he got 3.  Now if he ordered from Uber Eats, then it would be only 2. >

Uber Eats: where "free delivery" means $12.99 not including "fees" and "regulatory compliance fees" >

This is called poor parenting. It's not cute that you let your kid play with a cell phone so that you didn't have to watch over them. >

Gen X: In my day we just roamed the streets til dark, it was great
Also Gen X: I can't believe they aren't actively supervising their small child at all times >

I mean, there's helicopter parenting, and there's "go ahead and play with my cell phone which has access to all of my money and also no parental controls." >

I'm still trying to get over the person that just leaves everything auto signed in. Even with my cellphone and having it unlocked theres 0% chance my kids going to be able to pay for anything... Do people just think they can't lose their phones? or that a single password is enough to access literally all of their shit? >

People click "save information" after they make their purchase and then never think about it ever again. >

Its honestly not that hard to memorize a credit card, I don't even go out with that intention and after a month with a new card I have it down pat. >

Either you shop too much, in which case, that's an addiction, look into treating that, 
Or you are really good with memorising numbers, bully for you >

I don’t find I shop too much but I do handle almost 100% of my purchases online, I’d say I use my credit card around 20-30 times a month, mostly groceries, food orders, random Amazon shit, and a few game purchases here and there.
If you can’t memorize 16 digits after 20 times I dunno what to tell you 🤷‍♂️ >

I can see you have no executive functioning impairment if you think that's easy. Those of us who do have to decide what numbers are actually important to know immediately and focus on keeping them memorized. Why the hell should I memorize my debit number when I can just pull it out of my wallet the few times I need it? And if I don't want to do that to buy the thing, did I actually need it in the first place, or did it just sound neat to have?
I basically have the mental equivalent of having my debit card in an ice block. Even with all my other methods of curbing impulse purchases, this is the one I like the most, because it's also the least amount of effort I have to put in for it to be effective. >

Its not something I'm actively trying to do, just after a month or 2 of using it, it happens to stick in my head, sometime I still need to pull it out, but most of the time I can just.... type it out... I'm not saying this is an edge in any way shape or form, its just something that's come naturally, I didnt think it was special... Honestly thought this was normal, my wife can do it as well...
Do people also have a hard time memorizing phone numbers? Is it much different from knowing a good friend or SO's number off the top? Its like 7 digits apart. >

"Dad, did the pepperoni pizzas arrive yet?" lol >

That was the best part. >

The pepperoni pizzas are what the credit card cancelled 😞 >

Beware of six year olds, the last six year old in the news managed to get a secured pistol with a trigger lock smuggled into school and shot his teacher! >

Hey at least the kid was a responsible firearms user >

Hmmm, was the dad like blackout drunk or something? Everytime I try to purposely order something, it takes forever for the app to go through. How did this kid get multiple orders from different stores? >

He went big on the tips. >

So then, bad parenting. >

That's like a modern day Berners Street hoax on accident >

How many meals were actually ordered vs. how many were delivered? >

Gig apps need  a parental lock code. >

or just don’t let your 6 year old have open access to your phone. >

This. Get them a cheap tablet to fuck around instead, with no payment stuff attached to their account. >

It’s wild how this has become the answer to keeping kids quiet in a public space. I’m a barber - I see it nearly everyday with parents bringing kids in. They are GLUED to their tablet. If you try to remove it they become instantly upset. I’ve seen kids literally come into the shop, wait for a cut, get a cut and then leave - having never looked up from the tablet. It’s crazy.
How is that raising a healthy and well adjusted kid? >

Cool. Now try and get a grown up who's using their phone while waiting to give it up.
Go on, go ahead.
We'll wait. >

That's a bad comparison. Having a someone glued 24/7 to an electronic device while they're still developing mentally and emotionally is different from a full-grown adult. Shit, it's even different form a Gameboy, since Gameboys weren't an endless stream of ads and instant gratification in the form of apps and videos. >

How is it different? Other than you feel like that kid must not be making any connections to other real people because they didn't spend 20 minutes making fucking small talk with a barber? It's okay if people don't want to talk to strangers, seriously. >

You can't honestly believe that having a child constantly on a device engineered to addict you to social media and predatory apps is a good or neutral thing? And it's not just the barbershop, it's everywhere, even at home. We used to joke about kids being raised by the TV, now it's gone to a new and even worse level. >

Some big assumptions there. Kid could be doing homework, could be reading, could be playing a game (building hand and eye coordination), could be socializing with school friends or any multitude of things not harmful. You aren't the parent of the kid, mind your own business. >

I know what I see and many people can corroborate this, these kids get plopped down with their devices in a booth at a restaurant, bar, shop, etc. and then spend the entire time ignored by their parents and watching video after video. And I'm not talking about 13-14 year olds, I'm talking toddlers and up. This is not healthy. >

People let their kids use their phones and give them the password? My kids are in their 20's and I don't like them even touching it. >

Never give a kid your phone. They can, and will, do damage - somehow. 
I let a friend’s kid play Pokémon go. We had a talk about not evolving or making changes, she was 6. 
She purified my maxed out shadow mewtwo. There’s no going back, all my other ones are crap. 😂
But, it was my fault. I gave her my phone. Just like this is dad’s fault. Shame on us. 
Buy the ticket, take the ride. >

Holy smokes I would never let a child or even another adult play my PokemonGo. Too many permanent, undoubtedly actions. >

Lock your shit down if you deal. With kids for fuck sake they'll waste all your money on bullshit that you won't be able to get back >

Step 1: Don’t have kids 
Step 2: Profit? >

I was at the pizzeria for carry out last weekend and I was amazed at the number of door dash/grub hub drivers were picking up food. There must have been ten different drivers in less than 15 minutes. >

And each order still missed something. >

6 year olds definitely know what’s going on, if you teach them. Sounds like the kid didn’t understand it was a bad thing to do. >

I know at 6 I had a tenuous understanding of how buying things worked, and I'd had a small allowance for a year already. I didn't really get it until probably 9 or 10, and didn't really understand the concept of savings and debt until the 5th grade. >

Kids under 13 shouldn't have phones and shouldn't be playing on an adult's phone. This is just r/parentsarefuckingdumb >

this is why parents need to learn parenting skills instead of using their iphone/ipad as a babysitter while they fuck around. >

Gameboy and book eras intensify >

1 k on grubhub would probably only result in 3 deliveries though? /s >

Legend. This little dude is living our dream. >

Getting cold, overpriced food delivered to your house constantly? >

On someone else’s dime? That’s rockstar status right there. 😎 >

It's his parents' dime. They're probably going to tell him for the next few years "Sorry, Timmy, we can't get you that toy you want. Remember that one day you got all that food delivered?" >

No way, this kid is famous now. This is one of the best moments of his life, and will grow up telling this hilarious story for the rest of his life. GrubHub probably looking into sponsoring him. >


This is one of the best moments of his life, and will grow up telling this hilarious story for the rest of his life.

Man, spending $1000 of my parent's money when I was a kid would mean we don't get groceries or make rent that month. That'd be the month I remember I got us kicked out and went hungry without assistance. >

How is this not r/kidsarefuckingstupid
