This week we've had a record heatwave. It hasn't dropped below 30 degrees since 7:00am yesterday, and today we were apparently the hottest city in the world!
I went over to visit Mum tonight, who (along with most rational people) decided that tonight was not the night to cook, and ordered pizza.
Anyway, we get the pizza delivered, and they've forgotten one of the pizza's. So Mum calls back, and the pizza store is very apologetic and get the pizza out for us with a free drink (Mum said it sounded like they were getting slammed and were making many mistakes).
So we wait a little longer for the remaining pizza, and by the time it comes, the poor driver has accidentally given our free drink to the previous order and appeared to be quite stressed. He offered to go back to the store and get another drink, but Mum saw that the driver looked that terrified that he would probably cop a blasting if he did that, so she said to him that it didn't matter.
I was really impressed with my Mum when she did that, and it probably helped calm the poor driver down a bit from what was clearly a stressful night for the drivers - dealing with a flat out night driving around in 40+ degree heat (and that's at 7:30pm)!
