Grub Hub Ruining Social Skills

grubhubLogo2

I fear my social skills, which are limited to begin with, are being diminished by technology.  The most notable example of this is using grubhub.com.  Their convenient online ordering makes it so I don’t actually have to place the call and talk to a human in order to get a pizza.  For years, I would come home hammered from a bar and sit with the phone in my hand like a 13 year old trying to call a girl for the first time, desperately trying to work up the courage as I would start to dial the numbers and then hang up the phone realizing my script for the conversation was not well enough prepared. I would need to go over it a few more times in the mirror, using the phone as a prop of course.  Just as AOL Instant Messenger and text messaging have allowed me to enjoy physical congress with women that are way too good for someone as socially inept as myself, grubhub.com has allowed me to enjoy the tastes of Chicago that I would otherwise never know.  They’ve just made it too easy.  I now keep a nice mix of change at home, so when the delivery guy gets here I don’t even have to speak to him, I just put note on the door that says “leave food here” and slip the money under the door.
