&quot;I will get my favorite spaghetti meal served on my birthday.&quot;<p>In an otherwise run-of-the-mill rant, this struck me as a truly weird, passive, and ungrammatical (to my ear) assertion. The lack of any agent makes me wonder if he&#x27;s insisted on his parents and then various friends or significant others over the years to serve him this meal. Or does he hire someone to perform this task for him? The lack of the mention of &quot;cooking&quot; and the phrasing &quot;spaghetti meal&quot; make me envision dumping a cold can of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee spaghetti out in a bowl. Just an odd, unrelatable insistence. Weird.
