Delivery? There are takeout joints or grocery store (online even) that brings food to you.

Honestly, if I did something wrong, I'd rather get thrown in jail than get put on house arrest.

If I remember correctly they said when they get an alert, they will try to call you within 2 minutes. If I dont answer they send the police to check. If I wasnt there I'm sure some repercussion would follow. I didn't have a problem with it, just spent allot of time playing Mario Cart.

Thats stupid. That night I was arrested I spent 4 hours in jail, till my gf could finally bail me out, with people I wouldn't want to spend 1 minute with. On house arrest I could still go to work, still have friends visit me, drink, play friggin Mario Cart etc..

So,

When you were on house arrest, did you ever get to play mario cart?
