Local Man Opens Food App “Just to Look” and Somehow Spends 11 JD
A man who insisted he was “only checking what’s available” reportedly completed a full food delivery order within six minutes.
Local Man Opens Food App “Just to Look” and Somehow Spends 11 JD
A local man reportedly opened a food delivery app this week “just to look” before somehow placing an 11 JD order less than six minutes later.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous because “this happens too often,” said he had no intention of buying anything when he opened the app.
According to sources close to the situation, he was simply bored, mildly hungry, and emotionally vulnerable to photos of loaded fries.
The investigation began casually
The man allegedly opened the app while sitting on his couch and telling himself he was “not actually hungry.”
He then searched for burgers.
Then shawarma.
Then sushi.
Then burgers again.
At that point, witnesses say the situation became serious.
“He kept saying he was only comparing prices. But once he added garlic sauce, we knew it was over.”
The cart filled itself
The man later claimed he did not remember adding half the items.
His final order reportedly included:
- one main meal
- one side
- one drink
- one sauce he already had at home
- one dessert added because delivery was “already happening”
- one extra item to justify the delivery fee
When asked why he ordered dessert, he reportedly said:
“It would have been financially irresponsible not to.”
The delivery fee played a role
Analysts say the turning point came when the app informed him that he was “only 1.20 JD away” from a discount.
Instead of closing the app, the man added an item worth 3.50 JD to save 0.75 JD.
Economists have described the decision as “emotionally understandable but mathematically illegal.”
One expert explained:
“The modern food app is designed to make you feel like spending more money is a form of saving money. It is not. But it does feel amazing for about eight seconds.”
Friends were not surprised
Friends of the man say this is not the first time he has opened a delivery app with no plan and ended up tracking a motorcycle across the city.
One friend said:
“He always starts with ‘I’m just browsing.’ Then suddenly he’s asking if anyone wants to split mozzarella sticks.”
Another said the phrase “just to look” should be treated as a financial warning.
The man defends himself
The man denied that he had acted irresponsibly.
He said the order was “basically necessary” because he had already spent too much time choosing.
“Once you scroll for that long, leaving without ordering feels like wasting the research.”
He also noted that the restaurant had a 4.6 rating, which he described as “practically a sign.”
Final thought
Food delivery apps have changed the way people eat, spend, and lie to themselves.
For one local man, a quick look became a full meal, a delivery tracker, and a quiet promise to “cook tomorrow.”
He has reportedly opened the app again to check if the rider is close.
