        Just an FYI, this random content mill doesn’t cite any sources. This has been circulating on Facebook, Instagram, etc. and claims specifically 241 days. I tried finding it, and it’s fortunately just satire. No actual news organizations have covered this, there are no court records, and the most you’ll find are random content mills regurgitating Facebook memes.

        (Edit: But it is surprisingly creative.)

        (Edit 2: And 1847 lemons over 241 days implies 7.5 lemons daily within the fiction of the meme.)

          Thanks for finding that and it is pretty creative, lol. Here is something else she did:

          If you think about it for 3 seconds the story falls apart yeah. That’s no fun. Door Dash would blacklist as soon as the ex complained.

          But if nobody complained and the lemons are getting paid for, I wonder if anyone would try to stop you doing this 7.5 times a day and how long it’d take.

            She would be eaten alive in service fees, fees for not hitting the minimal spending threshold, tip, etc.

            In fact, I just tried and one 89c lemon came out to $12.80

            If you’re looking for government or police intervention, the answer is that it would never happen. They don’t give a shit. I was subjected to actual stalking and harassment for an extended period of time (years) from my ex and people affiliated with her, and the police were absolutely worthless.

            Yeah, the meme tries to dress it up as her having used 11 spoof accounts, but it misses the obvious point that they’d just block the address/that specific one-lemon order altogether.

            I was willing to give this the slightest bit of credibility to try looking it up until the meme started elaborating on numbers and nailed the coffin shut.

            It would also be insanely expensive. Also usually you would order something like this from instacart. Most restaurants don’t have a single lemon menu option. Though I mow they’ve been expanding into offering services to other areas, to get in on instacart style action. (Personally I would never trust a dasher to shop like an ic shopper.)

        The biggest indication of it being fake is any sort of consistent arrival time. That just doesn’t make sense for any courier or delivery service
