At the end of a long, stressful day, the temptation to order takeout is real.

But after adding up a bunch of evenings filled with greasy burgers, fried dumplings, and free cans of soda, you might end up with an expanding waistline, a shrinking checking account, and an increasingly difficult time climbing stairs.

1. When you walk into your favorite restaurant to order, they already have your meal waiting for you.

"We were expecting you." Has that ever not sounded creepy?

2. "Boiling pasta" pretty much sums up your cooking repertoire.

We mean, hey, you can boil with the best of them, but ...

3. Your kitchen table is littered with condiments and takeout receipts. 

How many times can you order General Tso's chicken in one month?

4. The delivery guy drops off your food and says, "See you tomorrow."

Having a friendship is nice, but maybe you should continue it by inviting him over for something home-cooked.

5. You have a recurring nightmare about your microwave breaking.

You wake up in a cold sweat after shouting, "How will I ever get this slice of pizza hot again?"

6. It's hard to remember the last time you ate in the company of another human being.

No, Netflix does not count as a person.

7. Every time you order takeout, you think, "I'm not going to do this tomorrow."

Except you might ... unless you replace it with something way better.
