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.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 37 minutes ago

Will a good tip by their silence?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Lady, I don't give a shit about your theatrics, I only judge if you're a lousy tipper.*

*in the US.

Am I missing something? Empty house and pizza sounds like a perfect evening to me.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The delivery guy probably gets to keep the pizza if there is no recipient

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

So you're saying that the person in the meme did not order the pizza but wants to keep it and tries to accomplish that by pretending there are other people with them? I'm confused, why wouldn't they just take it without saying anything? How would the delivery person know they are not the one who ordered?

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I interpreted both messages as said by the pizza guy

1-st one he says that Pizza's here

2-nd one he realises that nobody's there and that he will be able to eat the pizza

And the joke would be that he couldn't afford the pizza with his very low wage so he sheds a tear of joy

What about the "I" in "I shout to the the empty house"? This would mean that the pizza guy refers to himself in first person in the first line but in the third person in the second line which seems very unusual to me.

-cheesy crust on the third ? -oh, that is a resounding yes

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

My boy Andy over here is saying you have something called chicken poppers?

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 hours ago

I mean… pizza guy can have friends too, he's human!

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 9 points 4 hours ago

That’s a smart way to do weed delivery if you can get away with it and have orders packed before you leave the house.

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 9 points 7 hours ago

Pizza ~~delivery guy~~ dealer

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

I just woke up and am slow and bleary-eyed.

I could have sworn the second sentence said a bear ran down with the delivery man's face - because he knew.

And I was a tad shocked.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 51 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You could definitely automate this with voice commands in Home Assistant

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 7 points 7 hours ago

Playing "totally_real_friends4pizza_delivery.mp3":

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 11 hours ago

Ideally you wanna hire actors for that.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 7 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

whilst living in the woods I visited my moon friend's apartment and he ordered pizza. The pizza guy didn't even knock just climbed the tree, vaulted through the window hole and said "Hi Ben, what are you playing tonight?" and set out pizzas and grenades on the table, pulled a pin, and then sat down with us under the leaf blanket while ben cleaned his rifle and sucked him off.

I was like, woah, uh... and ben was like: "Yeah, he's also my dad"

I'm suspicious of this... but I'm not sure why.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

1 pizza alone is only a little sad.

20 pizzas while alone is when you've really hit rock bottom.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 10 points 7 hours ago

What exactly is sad about ordering a pizza whilst being alone? Never struck me as something unusual.

I see the 20 pizza part.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's called meal prepping!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It's fine if you buy them as frozen pizzas. Then it's just grocery shopping.

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That is not what the OP is about though.

[–] iveseenthat@reddthat.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Could you explain to me what OP intended to say, please?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How often did that happen?

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 10 hours ago

As many times as they fake called their pizza joint.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Here, it's the norm to eat an entire pizza by yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

Just one pizza? I assumed the op had ordered multiple.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I read this in a really dark way

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)
[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 51 minutes ago

I love all the interpretations here, but I read it as the pizza delivery man was lured into an empty house to be killed by the customer.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

The family is all dead and a single parent, who still believes they are with them, orders pizza for their now long dead family. Delivery driver shows up to a house that hasn't seen life in ages and immediately realizes the situation.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Then the delivery driver is pulled inside with an invisible force. The parent enjoys the pizza, while the rest of the house enjoys the delivery guy.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

I watched that on the Hub
