A recent twitter thread about a man bulk buying rice has now left netizens in splits. The twitter thread about this man's misadventures with the rice full of thread went viral as his brother-in-law gave updates on his every action. Take a look at the entire thread that was tweeted on September 3.
'A truckload of rice..'
On Thursday, September 3, Shiv Ramdas, whose Twitter bio says that he is a writer and storyteller, posted on Twitter about a hilarious and unimaginable incident that happened to his brother-in-law. Although Ramdas did not mention the location where the incident took place, he did mention that it took place in India. Shiv Ramdas' brother in law was so tired of being sent to bring rice all the time, he negotiated with a shopkeeper to buy rice in bulk at once. There was some miscommunication and his brother ended up finding out that the shopkeeper sent in a truck full of rice at his doorstep. Shiv Ramdas added that his sister and her family were very furious when this happened. He also cleared that people shouldn't be mistaken that it was an SUV but a literal lorry of rice. Take a look at the first tweet of the long thread.
OMG my brother in law, the gift that never stops giving, was tired of being sent to get rice every day so he decided buy in bulk, talked to the shop about it, wires got crossed, now there is a literal TRUCK FILLED WITH RICE outside the house and my sister is losing her shit lmfao

Ramdas also mentioned that his sister was really enraged at her husband. She was fuming as he mentioned and Shiv Ramdas was confused as to what to do. He said he was scared and his sister wasn't even angry with him but her husband.
If you have never heard a woman destroy a man with one sentence 25 times in a row you should meet my sister. She's terrifying rn, I'm on the phone and I'm scared and she isnt even angry at me lol

Shiv Ramdas then started a commentary of the entire of how his brother in law was in real trouble as his angry wife asked him to take the rice back. He narrated that his brother in law started negotiating with the driver and the people at the warehouse to take the lorry of rice back again. He also mentioned that his Brother in law tried to bribe the truck driver and it included cigarettes. Take a look:
Update: BIL is now negotiating with lorry driver. My requests to keep phone on speaker so I can here have been coldly rebuffed. I can however confirm that bribe has been offered and rejected. I cannot say whether this was a question of principle or price

Update to Drama: BIL had come in to explain that driver insists they'll have to take the rice(and pay) but midway through thouht better of it and is now negotiating with driver again. An excellent demonstration of the flight instinct in mammals when confronted with mortal peril

Side update: They also apparently have to unload the rice themselves.

Update: BIL is making headway. Lorry driver and helper have accepted cigarettes from him. Negotiations have resumed while all 3 smoke.

Shiv Ramdas' brother in law asked him to tweet something on his behalf and it turned out to be hilarious. He wanted everyone to know that Shiv Ramdas is being mean and live-tweeting the entire scene instead of helping. This tweet was liked by more than 39K Twitter users. He added that the owner wasn't picking up the call and sent a man called Manu to handle the negotiations. After hours of negotiation and Shiv Ramdas tweeting a conclusion was finally reached. Ramdas wrote, "Apparently compromise is that if BIL buys some sacks of rice and then Manu will make the rest just go away".

BIL is now saying he can do 10 bags but does Manu want a bottle of scotch thrown in? I deeply admire this man's commitment to corruption.
— Shiv Ramdas (@nameshiv) September 3, 2020
Ramdas' brother-in-law also suggested that he throw in a bottle of Scotch for Manu, for making the whole thing go away. The lorry driver really liked the idea. However, it turned out that Manu was a teetotaler. The story eventually ended with Ramdas' brother in law brought down the number from a truck full of sacks of rice to 23 sacks. He also gave them a bottle of rum and Scotch. Ramdas, in the end, tweeted, "We end our live report this AM with these final images for you, of a man standing on his verandah, surrounded by 23 sacks of rice, afraid to open his own front door".

In particular, we empathize with exhausting our spouses with these kinds of perfectly reasonable shenanigans. https://t.co/TwKulXafTq
Fyi, if I ever come across a book entitled PLOT TWIST: THE FIXER IS A TEETOTALLER, I will read it so fast. It starts with three stars for the title alone.

THE BARGAINING HAS BEGUN!!! My Indian heart is going to burst with happiness! On one side, Manu, who clearly has the upper hand, on the other, BIL, who isn’t going to buy a lorry full of chawal no matter what, dammit. https://t.co/FTeJKag3pg
