Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
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
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
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
Those look way bigger than thw 50lb bags I'm familiar with. Are those 100lbs? 200lbs?
100 kg, so a little over 200 pounds.
So thats 70 tons of rice the OP's BIL nearly got stuck with.
This would make a hell of a 90 minute Netflix movie.
Kind of reminds me of " A Man Called Ove" or, in movie form, "A Man Called Otto."
Fuck Tumblr's pop up
Yeah I'd love to know the conclusion of the story but when that popped up I immediately didn't care anymore. Fuck Tumblr.
Why don't you read it here on lemmy then?
It wasn't showing the other images in my preferred app.
Took me a bit to figure out they were even there. But I swItched apps and finished it, thank you :)
This story was just what the doctor ordered. Thank you for posting this.
This post has more twists and turns than a roller coaster lmao, great post!
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
