    To anyone who feels the need to justify their order to their delivery person: don’t.

    I guarantee that they’ll think about you more if you pull shit like this.

    Literally just give them the money, take the pizza, wish them a good night and close the fucking door.

    I promise that they don’t give any shits what you do with the pizza. Just tip appropriately for your region.

      Not true. I had ordered from two different places to a hotel room and they arrived at the same time. They were definitely confused and gave me weird looks. Worth it.

        In the scenario you describe, you are strange. So, I don’t think that’s unjustified.

        It’s ok though, we like strange around here.

    Is it because she’s scared of the delivey guy or because she’s embarrassed to eat the pizza alone?

    The mistake there is not recording a multi-layered clip of yourself responding in different voices. Time out a delay at the start so you can hit play, start walking, make the announcement and get the “reply” as you open the door.

    It’s the little details to sell the delusion that puts a spark of genuine fear into the drivers’ eyes.

    while living off post in hampton roads I visited a buddy’s apartment and he ordered pizza. The pizza guy didn’t even knock just walked and said “Hi Ben, what are you playing tonight?” and set out the pizzas and breadsticks on the table, grabbed a slice, then sat down on the couch while ben packed a bong hit for him.

    I was like, whoa, uh… and ben was like: “Yeah, he’s also my dealer.”

      I once played video games at a friend’s place and we were smoking lots of weed. He had told me a friend was going to come over later. So later that day the door bell rings, I can see him opening the door from where I’m sitting. Female cop stands in front of door and I briefly panicked.

      “Hi Julia, come in.” (to me) “Let’s order pizza.”

      I’ll never forget this image of a German cop in uniform smoking a bong.

    Whenever I delivered a pizza to an empty house or to someone who didn’t order a pizza it was great, cause I got to have it. Was one of the few perks of that job.

          OP is shouting, “pizza is ready!” in their own place of living, despite nobody else being there, to give the illusion of having friends/ company to the pizza person and not appear to be ordering pizza entirely for themselves.
