A Reddit user, Lowghen, ordered Thai food last week and posted a picture of the receipt, which has since gone viral.
The post, titled “I asked for extra spicy Pad Thai today,” shows a photo of his receipt which has “1 Pad Thai” printed on top, followed by “spicy” written 17 times and then a very sinister request is typed in all caps at the bottom – “make him regret being born.”

One Reddit user, sfgeek, shared his own experience about ordering extra spicy Thai food.
Sfgeek wrote, “Many years ago, I asked for ‘Thai Spicy,’ in Thai and I’m White. Often, but not always, if you are a White American in the US, you will not get ‘Thai Spicy.’ But if you say it IN THAI, your server will go to the Kitchen" and bring back a legitimately spicy dish, sfgeek theorized.

“And I like Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. I eat raw Habaneros and find them ‘kinda hot.’ I literally could not walk out of this restaurant. I was literally a wreck, for days,” sfgeek added.
