My 3 AM delivery orders are a cry for help

I am losing my mind Sitting on a P0 escalation call at 3 AM. Brain is completely fried.

Why do these 10-minute delivery apps even allow us to buy random crap so late? i just looked at my order history from the last month and i am genuinely concerned for my sanity.

Last night I ordered three cans of Red Bull, a packet of Eno, and a skipping rope. A fucking skipping rope at 2:45 AM. Who skips at 3 AM? Nobody. I just stared at it while some VP was rambling on Zoom.

I am so burnt out yaar. My org is squeezing the life out of me and my only coping mechanism is buying absolute garbage when the insomnia hits.

Last week it was a pack of UNO cards, a single lemon and toilet cleaner. The delivery guy gave me such a weird look. I don't even blame him.

Idk what is wrong with me anymore. Please tell me I am not the only one losing it. What is the absolute weirdest unhinged shit you guys have ordered late at night when the work trauma hits?

Damn this makes me realize there should be a way to block certain items on quick commerce apps.

Also, if you have an unhealthy addiction with certain apps, I would consider uninstalling them or using Opal to block them at certain times of the day.

I don't find it wired, I am seeing this as normal scenario. The fact is that you have overhyped the situation.
With good company and good pay health and brain is at stake. But you need to give something to gain something

Bhai norm ho gaya hoga but it still hurts the brain. You are right about the trade off though, health is definitely taking a massive hit.

I don't order stuff when I work late, I will recommend you to eat something healthy when you work late, like a watermelon, muskmelon, mango, cucumber etc. You will feel very relieved

Food is okay, we need something to munch at night during debugging and oncalls

Simple , just permanently block apps like Swiggy, playstore, zomato using applock or other software. This way you won't even re install the apps again. It's working for me. One disadvantage is you can't install any new app
