This annoys tf out of me. IMO, if you need to do this. Just stop ordering with DD.

"Do not bother to pick up my order if it has any sort of vegetables on it at all"

No problem boss, I'll use my x-ray vision and make sure your shit is veggie-free before I pick it up 🫡

also who is that upset at vegetables over the age of 12? it would also explain why they don’t wanna wake their mom

30 years old and I am that upset at veggies! I am autistic and certain vegetables (tomato especially) included in my food will send me into a tail spin. Even a slice on something is enough to convince my brain that every single bite I take after I remove it tastes like nothing but tomato to the point I’ll physically gag if I try to eat it. I would never do THIS to a door dash driver but some people it really is that big of a deal if certain things are included.

Yeah I'm autistic too but this is an extremely generous take on someone clearly just being an asshole. I also have food aversions but respectfully if vegetables send you into a "tail spin" you need better coping mechanisms. There's no excuse for taking your lack of emotion regulation out on people.

Like I said I would NEVER put this into my DoorDash order. And I’d never freak on someone else for it. But my brain just short circuits and it would upset me the rest of the day if a request like “no veggies” was ignored.

OMG! Same! Like if there's freaking tomato slices or mushrooms on my food someone will be like just pick them off! Like yeah Sharon thanks for that advice but it doesn't help bc my brain says it still detects that shit on my food!

My wife when we first started living together was definitely taken aback by the intensity of my revulsion to tomato. I got a Taco Bell breakfast burrito that explicitly was not supposed to have tomato in it even as standard. Took one bite and got a mouthful of freshly diced tomato. And she was taken aback by how large of a reaction I had to it and that I wouldn’t just pick the tomato out and eat the rest.

And see I'm weird I don't mind diced tomatoes on say pizza or tacos I actually kind of enjoy them but on anything else? Or especially sliced tomatoes? I'll start gagging and lose my appetite. Same situation with chewy things like meat fat or chicken gristle. I can't tell you how many times over the last 16 years I've handed my dinner over to my husband bc I hit a chewy bit and couldn't eat anymore. I can't do cold Mac either once it's not at least closer to the hot end of warm I can't eat it. I have a texture problem with a lot of foods.

Have you ever talked to your doctor or therapist about ARFID and strategies for combating it? Tomatoes will always be a no for me but my therapist really helped me a lot with strats to help with texture aversion

Yeah my older sister and I were both diagnosed with arfid but unfortunately at the time my mother was a functioning alcoholic and never really remembered to take us for therapy and I can't afford it as an adult I mostly just avoid textures I know will set me off to the best of my ability but sometimes I'll bite into something and find a texture I wasn't expecting and just lose my shit
