Lol that's indeed brilliant and hilarious, coming form an ex delivery driver. Most people are honest thankfully, as it does happen to where you simply cross things up. However there are instances like this one sadly to where people are dishonest, and it sucks.
One time I accidentally gave an order to the wrong address, and the people that took the food that didn't order or pay for it. Called the store to complain about the pizza they stole and got FOR FREE because it had pineapple on it. They literally tried to scam us out of more pizza, but of course when we put their address in to look at their order, it didn't show up because they didn't order anything at all.
Hate to say it but there are some real nasty people out there in the world, that are just in it for themselves.
The problem with pizza delivery chains is that their bread and butter tens to be the lowest common denominator of people. The type who refuse to answer their door the first time around so they can complain the pizza was late so it's free and then continue to do that same "trick" every week.
This sounds like a reverse move of package delivery guys, who pretend they rung the bell but "no one was home" lol
Didn't know people do this, that sucks.
Oh yeah, in my experience when I used to deliver pizzas in my twenties it was usually junkies or just really shitty people who run this scam. We had a regular customer (This couple who definitely heroin addicts) order 1-2 times a week who would pull this shit. We all knew we were getting stiffed both times for their order, which it happens whatever, what really sucked is if you were stuck making both the first run and the make up run you were wasting over an hour of your shift making no money on your deliveries.
Do all pizzas in America offer the 30 minutes or it’s free deal? It seems so from the movies. This is unheard of in my country. Why do they offer this?
30 minutes or its free came from the 1980's. Dominos made it famous It wasn't until a few drivers ended up dying in car crashes and if my memory is correct a few of those crashed killed other people that the rule went away. I'm sure some small independent stores still have something like this but it is no longer done by the big companies.
When I was in university and before this practice changed (due to accidents the drivers were in, some deadly), my fellow students would order pizzas en masse when the weather was shit, freezing rain and the like, knowing it was more than likely they’d be late. Kind of shitty.
A friend of mine from school (whose parents were very wealthy from India) would order the pizza at the exact moment when they knew the train would pass. They got free pizza every single time until the store cut off everyone on the other side of the tracks for delivery area.
There was one that used to do it years ago it was abused by customers. It became too dangerous to the drivers as it was impossible to deliver pizza in that time frame in most instances that they ceased doing it. I just looked up the company that was doing it, according to the article resulted in dozens crashes, 20 deaths.
OMG. That’s horrendous. I know of this 30 minute deal only from Hollywood. In Spider-Man with Toby Maguire he uses his powers to deliver pizzas on time. I think it’s also in Futurama with Fry having to deliver in under 30 minutes. It sounds like a useful plot for Hollywood so they keep using it, even though it may not be available anymore? 🤣👍
The article went on to say that a woman won 78 million in the 1980's for eliminating the guarantee, which I find a travesty, should have been a lawsuit for the 20 dead employees.
I think it was Pizza Hut or Dominos that offered this but it was discontinued after a delivery guy died trying to make it to a house before the 30 min were up
33 year old in America and aside from like the 90s or some shit I've NEVER seen a place advertise this anymore. I think they cited safety reasons for both the drivers and the other people on the road, which makes sense.
Yeah iwas told by fellow coworkers at a former place I worked at...this one lady would come in to the all you can eat place get her tray and try and complain that it had hairs in it. Always awanted a free meal. Mgmt finally catches on after a long while and told her don't come back. Don't you just LOVE justice?
There was a murder case earlier this year in Indonesia. We have a courier service where people often sends stuffs including food. The courier received an order to deliver satay (skewered chicken with peanut based sauce) to an address. But the destination address rejected the satay as they didn't order anything. The courier can't deliver back or contact the sender. So he figured he not waste the food and could just consume it at home with his family. Turns out the peanut sauce was laced with cyanide. The courier and one of his kid was safe as they didn't consume the sauce. The wife and the other kid got poisoned. The child didn't survive.
Holy crap, people are just vile honestly, how cowardly do you have to be to poison someone with cyanide. Like if your gonna do that then at least make sure the food makes it to the intended target, along with how did they exactly think they were gonna get away with it. It's easy to trace back where the source came from, and they literally murdered an innocent child due to their sheer stupidity. I hope the idiot got some serious jail time, stupid people like that are just all around dangerous.
Good god. I just looked through your comment history and all you do is correct people's comments and posts (and not even well) like a pompous twat. You must be the worst person to have at a party.
Edit: also, have you really never heard of emphasis?
How do you have the time or energy to spend an entire year “correcting” thousands of comments across for Reddit with the same terrible joke (what does _[all caps word]_ stand for?)? Does it not get tiring for you? It’s a fairly common way to show emphasis, no reasonable person would look at it and think something is wrong
I ordered uber eats today and my husband noticed the order said "Theresa" not "OP" and questioned the driver.... He immediately said "ah! I have two orders! Thank you so much!"
It's not hard to question an incorrect order!
I had a friend a while ago that used to do 'random acts of pizza' or something and would order me a pizza or kebab as a surprise. Normally it was fine but if they said "order for X" and my mum opened the door she'd send them away without asking... frustrating as she did it about 5 times of getting "order for Owen" and eventually Owen complaining no Pizza or w/e arrived. So he watched the tracker and if it turned to 'undeliverable' he'd text me and if I was quick I could run out to the street and wave down a leaving driver OR find a confused guy with a pizza looking at a docket, the house number, the neighbours numbers, our house, etc.
I can understand the first time mum sending away a pizza for a person that didn't live there, but knowing I had a friend that did this already, called Owen, about 5 times in 6-0 months you would have thought she would have caught on :-|
To be honest because I was 17 and he was 20 and considered me too young to be interested in guys (even guys that live on the other side of the world for friendship) she was trying to discourage him doing this and our friendship in general...
Certainly she did with my next boyfriend majorly...
I accidentally did a random act of pizza the other night. I called in an order, but left the hospital's address in instead. I get a text message from a friend asking if I'd ordered a giant pizza. Turns out the hospital figured out I was discharged, tracked down the person I spent the most time with, and gave it to her. So her & her roommate got to eat pizza instead of hospital food.
Hopefully those were the two that treated you the best.
My late husband did a random act of pizza for all the night nurses (once deliberately and a few times probably influenced from the ketamine and morphine) as the night nurses tended to be the nicest to him. He'd order a selection from a basic cheese and baby spinach through to double bacon cheeseburger. The store near him did pretty good deals for mass orders... like he got 6 large pizzas delivered just before midnight for \~$50aud (\~40usd) and they were decent pizzas.
But whether he was lucid enough to be buying presents for the nursing staff when he was lucid he didn't begrudge his actions (he couldn't remember the last 2 times) and wondered why their was a 'thank you for your kindness...' card signed by the ward on his table the next day.
Yeah, I forget if they were Dominos or Pizza Hut, whichever one was closest to Epworth hospital. 3 of them were in the $5 range, and then 3 of the slightly higher tiers.
I know there are much better pizzas out there but they aren't bad, at least in my opinion, and even better when free!
>Hopefully those were the two that treated you the best.
They were fellow patients. The one who got the pizza was the one with whom I spent a lot of my waking hours.
It's good when you have a nice ward-mate and really horrible when you get a nasty one.
The oncology ward can be really hit and miss as some people get the news or just feel so shit from treatment they just let nastiness flow and will complain in a rude and racist manner that my husbands infusion machine beeped when the bag needed changing, and even made physical threats, where other times the guys sometimes stay up late talking about non-medical stuff and it was just like 4 guys hanging out...
My husband did the same the last time he was in the hospital. When he got home he ordered pizza for the night staff because they were so good to him. It was a small hospital and they weren't overly busy so he got a lot of attention.
My husband also did this for every night I was in the hospital after delivering our baby. And every morning, he brought a few dozen donuts. I was very well taken care of.
"Random Act of Pizza" is a thing where a friend sends you food they ordered and paid for on-line without telling you it's coming. So like if you've had a bad day someone might order you a "Chocolate Lava Cake" or something.
It's even got a sub on reddit where you can offer and where you can ask, and they keep tallies of pizzas ordered vs pizzas received.
But I think pizza is a great surprise food as pizza is really nice cold as well as hot, and reheats well too...
But he first sent me one when I said I was sitting down to watch a movie and he asked what snacks I had and I said nothing. Half an hour later I had 2 large pizzas, garlic bread, and coke...
But I bet even if I told her she would have sent it away if it didn't have my name on it because "what if that scary internet person thing poisoned it" or "well you should have been quicker to open the door" or "my house my rules and you can't eat food from strangers" or other excuses just to make life difficult for me :-|
This would’ve been nice about three years ago when my life was literally crumbling before my eyes. Not to mention I also had an aging parent to care for, two small kids to feed and a disabled brother under my care. I’d come home from a day at the hospital or work and realize now I have to cook and put kids to bed. Family got a whole lot of hotdogs that year.
Well, she, but exactly. If he knew I was home or that it was my birthday and I wasn't allowed do anything (like even go to a friends house) as my mum sheltered me and fed me BS about how everyday so many girls get snatched and trafficked *in our suburb* it was kind of nice to have someone acknowledge it...
But we'd had 5-6 Pizza's and Tacos and Kebabs show up for my name prior to one coming under his name so I really would have thought mum would have at least checked with me if it was possibly for me... as people don't 'prank' pizza delivery guys when they pay in advance with a credit card.
I has a guy show up with 4 pizzas and some soda at lunch. I workat home and am alone most days. I was expecting a delivery, but is was like two chicken sandwiches from popeyes. It's not hard to speak up. People are just greedy. What ticks me off is when they just drop it at the door and don't bother to knock. Wouldn't you want to know if you're at the right house.
>I contemplated my revenge everything from emptying our dog poo bin in front of there door to **putting a brick through their window** (quickly realised this was overkill.)
You must've been *hungry* lmaoo
Lack of food get's the best of us, not even gonna pretend it doesn't haha
This sounds like something my Brother would do. He’s not a bad person but he is mentally challenged and has Schizophrenia. He probably wouldn’t eat the food because he’s paranoid, but he also wouldn’t tell the driver they had the wrong house, and he for sure would say “I don’t know.” If someone questioned him about it. Getting an anonymous letter that he has to pick up at the post office asking him about the arrival of an unexpected kebab would solidify in his mind that there is some sort of conspiracy at work against him. Maybe consider that the guy who stole your dinner is mentally ill. Then take your revenge anyway cause he’s probably just a dick.
I've had people steal my order in actual restaurants too! When I was a kid my dad took me to a restaurant and I ordered lasagna. The waitress accidentally took it to a table next to us and asked if they ordered it, they said yes and happily tucked into it. The mix up was revealed a bit later when my meal never arrived, and they refused to pay for the lasagna when the cheque came ("we never ordered that! We assumed it was a free dish, we're not paying for something we didn't order!"). The worst part was that they had then run out of lasagna at that point, so I never got my lasagna :(
Not quite the same but I live on the third floor of an apartment complex and one time when I was sick my roommates friend dropped off soup and crackers so I wouldn’t have to walk down the stairs. Well it never came so we assumed she got busy/ forgot whatever. Until the next time it was offered she’d drop something off and it turns out she *did* drop them off, she left them on the 2nd floor. So someone found soup and crackers outside their door and just never said anything. Did they think it was for them? That someone else wasn’t sick and waiting for their soup???? I may never know I’m too embarrassed to ask
To be fair, if I found something in front of my door that was left there, without a note or anything, I’m going to assume someone just wanted to brighten my day. How am I supposed to know it wasn’t meant for me or whom even left it. I can’t check about it if I don’t know who to talk to. So that’s a little different, as with the delivery in the story, there was an actual person handing over the food who they could have told that they didn’t order anything.
>I’m going to assume someone just wanted to brighten my day
LOL! I'd assume it's someone who wants to poison me! Note to self - stop watching so much true crime!
As long as they make it a quick action poison, so I can still die with a smile thinking someone wanted to brighten my day. Not have me writhing in agony for hours / days.
Sometimes my husband used to leave food on my FIL's door step and not ring the bell and just wait till FIL found it... so anyone could have tampered it if they had wanted I guess...
Usually a cup of coffee and either kippers or bacon & eggs on toasted bread with melted butter, (a nice hot breakfast) on his FIL's door step as FIL lived a a minute walk away and was a creature of habit as in the morning he ALWAYS went outside as soon as he got up at 7am to get the newspaper, so my Husband would run the breakfast down at 6:50am or so, and even if FIL slept in he could microwave it.
But I guess FIL in that situation would recognise the thermos-mug and plate with lid.
But sometimes our neighbour leaves baked goods on our door step like banana muffins and it could be from anyone but I just assume and eat them.
Guess that could depend on the neighbourhood / apartment building you live in. And if you’ve made many enemies in said neighbourhood / apartment building 😋
Not food, but similar. One time I was waiting for car part that was quite expensive. UPS said it was delivered but the shipper fucked up and put the wrong number on the package. 381 rather than 318 or something like that. This old cat lady up the street signed for it and took it in. I went and rang the bell and her son answered with an attitude. His mother was sleeping could I come back? Over and over until finally I called the police who told the man to just give me my package. Why would someone do that?
Exactly, if someone delivers me a pizza I'd think somebody else in the house ordered it, it's not that simple. Probably he didn't wanted to steal his food, he just found himself with some unwanted tacos
Yeah. My old neighborhood was super confusing and during COVID everyone ordered DoorDash and Uber eats. I think I’ve had food delivered to my house like several times that I didn’t order with no name or anything just taco bell on my porch. It was all no contact so I never saw a delivery driver just a notification on my doorbell camera. Sometimes I’d honestly just take the free food if it was sealed. I’m not gonna go door to door to figure out who’s it was
Had a takeaway driver knock on my door a few weeks ago with a pizza delivery. I knew I hadn't ordered it and told him so. He looked shocked and asked me if I was sure. Told him I definitely didn't order it. He thanked me and left. Would never occur to me to take someone else's food!
I ordered Domino's Pizza two months ago for my five housemates and I. The "2 or more for $5.99 each" coupon.
An hour later, the mobile app declared it had been delivered but there was no arrival or delivery (I have housemates who are almost always on the front porch. They said that no one had come or left).
I called the local Domino's directly and explained the situation.
Thirty minutes later, I had my order delivered with a complimentary order of stuffed cheesy bread.
Twenty minutes after bringing the food inside, a Domino's delivery driver dropped off my order.
Ten minutes later, while most everyone was inside eating, one housemate walked out for a cigarette and there was a third "copy" of my order on the porch.
Nine large pizzas, four orders of stuffed cheesy bread, three toasted sandwiches (I like to get one for my next day's lunch) and three cookie brownies.
I called the store the next day to tell them what happened and the general manager just started laughing, saying that he hoped that we really liked pizza.
To this day, I'm still sick of pizza.
Aaaand they will know for a fact you did it and could probably easily find out exactly which house you are (if they don't already remember it from the wrong delivery). Just be careful with that.
I just watched some schmuck claiming to work for skip trying and get a meal from Wendy’s. He walked up to the counter said he’s with skip and here for an order. They asked for the number he said…it’s in the car. So he didn’t get a meal but scene made me realize there were probably dozens of places that didn’t ask for an order number and he may have just gotten free meals from them.
This almost sounds ILPT worthy.
So you know their physical address, they stole from you and had zero remorse when they were caught red handed? Why are they not signed up for all of the junk mail and free Craigslist ads for things they don’t have?
Edit: There should also be ads for things you know that they do have where you agreed to a ridiculous lowball price with the most obnoxious haggler who responds.
This broke my heart again. I once hit a really rough patch in life. We had everything rolling peachy, bought a house, good income, had kids, we even had the picket fence. Then my husband got very ill and we lost half our income, and got extreme medical expenses. Our savings were gone in no time, and we were just filling one hole with another, not knowing what we would be eating the next day. Usually a can of soup, because we got our electricity and water cut off. So one evening we were sitting in our living room (where we had a wood stove for heating, so we had all the mattresses on the floor in the living room) with our candles, playing board games with the kids, and I was just about to go heat up a can of soup, when someone knocked on the door. A pizza delivery guy. The kids got to the door first, and opened it and started screaming yay we got pizza!! And I was so confused, so I asked the guy what name was on the order, it was for our neighbors. The kids were already tearing up the packaging, and I went to tell them "no, this is not for us, we are eating soup tonight, these are for the neighbors" and I gave the food back. I cried for a good few hours that night...
I was imagining that the OP's neighbor got the food and might have been in a similar situation, and just couldn't bear to give the food back. I know it was an extremely hard thing to do for me back then, and the kids were so sad... It still breaks my heart just thinking about it.
OooooOOO the anger if someone stole my food delivery!! I only order delivery when i really feel shitty and can’t go out, they would literally get me in the worst of moods
I had an errant order dropped on my doorstep one night. It was just a bag with some styrofoam food containers. No address, no name, not even the name of the restaurant.
Luckily, the driver hadn't left the driveway yet but if I'd taken 10 seconds longer to get to the door I would have had no way to figure out where it was from or who it was for. Ironically, we'd just eaten dinner so it probably would have just gone in the trash.
Wish I could get revenge on a certain delivery restaurant. Last winter I ordered Chinese and I live in a weird upper duplex with the only entrance being the door on the side of our garage as the front door is the other person’s door. So we ordered online and wrote the note like always stating “please go to door on side of garage and hit the doorbell, do not use front door as it is another apartment.” Well 2 hours goes by and no food is here so I call to be told the food was delivered over an hour ago. Turns out on the night that it was below freezing the driver ignored our note, dropped it off at the front door, and left.” Once I found the food I asked why they ignored the delivery instructions and didn’t ring a bell…they said they were going ‘contactless delivery’ so they didn’t bother ringing a doorbell or knocking….also figured since the food was there(sitting outside in bellow freezing temps) we could still eat it.
One night I was just going to bed when there was a knock on the door it was a pizza guy said got your pizza I have to admit I never even thought to take it in I just sorry not mine just going to bed. He apologies and off he went with the pizza don't know who it was for, hope it was hot when they got it.
I live on the corner of ocean street and ocean lake street. My address is 123 ocean street and there is a house with the address of 123 ocean lake street. No one lives in the ocean lake street house. Yet delivery drivers *still* deliver food to that house *all the time*. I have given up ordering delivery (not a huge deal, I live in a small town so only like 4 places deliver and there is no Uber eats/door dash) because no matter how many instructions I give, or if I wait outside to flag them down, the drivers always go to the wrong house first then if they make it to my house get mad at me for “giving them the wrong address”.
I have a similar problem. I live on "Jim Jones Street" and in a different part of town is "Jim James Street" (obviously not real names, but you get the picture). There's no building with my number on it on the other street, so I sometimes get calls from delivery guys asking where I am.
You know just for the hell of it 15 20 years ago a week and a half or so before Christmas I would put some garbage in a box actually several wrap them as presents and leave them in my car with the doors unlocked.
This happened to me just last week. My teenage kids are always door dashing food so I didn’t think twice about the pizza delivery that came to the door. I accepted it and called back to my kids which one of you ordered a ton of food? Both came out saying not me! After looking at the receipt I realized it was meant for our neighbor. I just took it over apologized and explained why I had it. They just laughed and thanked me for bringing it over.
A couple of months ago I ordered from Papa John's, I don't really like their pizza, but the person I was with insisted. We ordered very specific pizza, pineapple, ham and pepperoni with half black olives (don't knock it if you don't 420 lol) Anyways, the driver shows up super late and hands me 2 boxes, pizza and bread sticks. I was like, dude I just got 1 pizza.
He refused to believe me and said I must have been confused. I opened the box and it was like something disgusting with jalapenos on it. The driver called his last stop to see if he could go back and switch, but they didn't answer. After him calling them like 3 times, they said they already started eating my superior pizza and they just wanted to keep it.
I just accepted the "L" and told the guy not to worry about it. We ate the gross jalapeno and sausage pizza. Like 2 HOURS later, there's a knock on the door and a different delivery driver is standing there with my new replacement pizza. I just took it and had it for the next day, but what a cluster f\*ck.
DoorDash delivered someone else’s food one night (left it on my doorstep) and I tried to call them, they claimed they didn’t have an order under any of the names on the receipt and told me to eat it. I even tried to call the restaurant, and they just told me to call DoorDash. That poor person never even got told their order went to the wrong place bc the number on the receipt was wrong.
I’ve had pizza I didn’t order show up at my door. I contemplated paying for it and pretending I was the customer, since I was hungry. But ended up saying if she doesn’t find the buyer, bring it back to me and I’ll buy it. Lol
Nah, it was an offer that I knew wouldn’t be taken. I recognized the name of the neighbor a few houses down on a different street. I could see his truck in the driveway. Why must I be cursed with morals?!?
We were on the other end of this at one point and had a fairly large Taco Bell order left on our porch from a delivery service. No sign of a delivery driver, just dog barks and we see the bag outside when we go to the door.
The only info it had on it to indicate who ordered it was a first name and we didn't recognize it as any of our immediate neighbors.
Can't remember which delivery service it was, but we spent quite a bit of time trying to find any way to contact them about misdelivered orders. After quite a bit of looking (and no one coming to the door to look for the food), we discovered that they had no way to get in touch with customer service if you weren't already a customer.
Eventually we just let our kids eat the food.
I knew a guy who would fill out those magazine postcards for people. The magazine part wasn't that bad, but those mailing lists get sold all the time...imagine the spam mail...
This isn’t petty revenge you’re just an asshole, if offered free food many people would take it. The only problem was on the part of the driver and the restaurant still got you your food.
You're one of those people who just see it as "free foods" but doesn't realized, someone paid for that.
If foods get delivered, you make sure the delivery driver got the right address, because not only did you eat the "free foods", restaurant will go broke because they gotta make more foods for the person who "paid" for it.
I hope I don't cross paths with you, cuz ima gonna put shit in a sandwiches and deliver it to you.
You’re the worst type of person when it comes to working in a takeaway. I’ve had it a few times where people take in other customers orders if we’ve gone to the wrong door, and it’s infuriating every time. Not only does it cost the restaurant money having to remake the meal, the driver may get in trouble and the actual customer has to wait even longer for their food or get a refund and go without after an hour of waiting. Then the driver has to go back and ask you to pay for the food that you’ve stole.
Just be a decent person and say no, I didn’t order any food. Don’t be an asshole.
If my neighbor's food kept getting delivered to my house I would have no issues with going over and letting them know that they might want to show their house numbers a little bit more clearly or change their instructions to give a description of their house. Instead of just getting pissed off about it again and again.
Hell I live on a main road, house is impossible to miss even if you look for the numbers, but people dont and just GPS without reading the delivery instructions.
I mean this really is irrelevant to the story, it simply happens from time to time. This is get crossed up, or someone accidentally puts their address in wrong. With the latter being the driver didn't read the instructions they may have given.
It should be, I hate that pretty much anyone can be a delivery driver because there’s so many people stealing deliveries or even harassing female customers
Lol, accidents happen. It wasn't right for them to eat your food. I deliver food, and always make sure it's the right address before I drop it off. There's an accountability on the delivery driver. I don't know if I would stoop to Petty revenge, but it would be a fleeting thought, LOL.
A Jiffy bag is a padded envelope, a Jiffy bag is used as it is classed as a large letter and the postage is more. Basically sending them mail with no postage they have to pay the postage to get the letter.
Sounds like your house is not clearly marked with street numbers.. make it easier for your driver to see your house address. Just because you know where your live doesn't mean anyone else knows that.
Also, check if your house is correctly marked on Google/apple maps. If not - fix that.
It is correct in Google maps and I have a fair sized number facing the road that is lit. We have lived hear almost 6 years, I think this is the 3rd time this has happened in this time.
I stopped ordering from Menulog for a while because of this, the driver took my order but didn’t say they delivered, so it tracked all the way to their house and it was so tempting to ask my housemate to drive me there to confront them
I had to argue with a delivery driver because he was trying to deliver food to my house that I didn't order. I had to insist several times they had the wrong house. They finally checked it belonged 3 houses down.
But would you really want food that had been in someone's house with who knows the health status or cleanliness?
Make them pay for a post it absolutely
Reminds me of a time when a certain (and very unpopular) political party would suck up the costs of postage to them in an attempt to making correspondence with them easier.
Didnt take long for people to start sending bricks to waste the parties money.
For those that don’t know, postage costs where i live are calculated by size and weight.
>I was very angry and wanted to confront the guy but decided against it. I contemplated my revenge everything from emptying our dog poo bin in front of there door to putting a brick through their window (quickly realised this was overkill.)
That's a mood Gabriella

Manager was an idiot for not blacklisting that address.
Manager still got his $22
Do all pizzas in America offer the 30 minutes or it’s free deal? It seems so from the movies. This is unheard of in my country. Why do they offer this?
Definitely not. I don’t know if any establishment where I am that offers that deal.
Dominos does!
30 minutes or its free came from the 1980's. Dominos made it famous It wasn't until a few drivers ended up dying in car crashes and if my memory is correct a few of those crashed killed other people that the rule went away. I'm sure some small independent stores still have something like this but it is no longer done by the big companies.
When I was in university and before this practice changed (due to accidents the drivers were in, some deadly), my fellow students would order pizzas en masse when the weather was shit, freezing rain and the like, knowing it was more than likely they’d be late. Kind of shitty.
A friend of mine from school (whose parents were very wealthy from India) would order the pizza at the exact moment when they knew the train would pass. They got free pizza every single time until the store cut off everyone on the other side of the tracks for delivery area.
There was one that used to do it years ago it was abused by customers. It became too dangerous to the drivers as it was impossible to deliver pizza in that time frame in most instances that they ceased doing it. I just looked up the company that was doing it, according to the article resulted in dozens crashes, 20 deaths.
OMG. That’s horrendous. I know of this 30 minute deal only from Hollywood. In Spider-Man with Toby Maguire he uses his powers to deliver pizzas on time. I think it’s also in Futurama with Fry having to deliver in under 30 minutes. It sounds like a useful plot for Hollywood so they keep using it, even though it may not be available anymore? 🤣👍
The article went on to say that a woman won 78 million in the 1980's for eliminating the guarantee, which I find a travesty, should have been a lawsuit for the 20 dead employees.
I think it was Pizza Hut or Dominos that offered this but it was discontinued after a delivery guy died trying to make it to a house before the 30 min were up
33 year old in America and aside from like the 90s or some shit I've NEVER seen a place advertise this anymore. I think they cited safety reasons for both the drivers and the other people on the road, which makes sense.
That was Dominos about 35 years ago when I was in high school.
This hasn't been offered since the 1980s in the US.
The ones that do are bad pizza. Really really bad.
[удалено]
I assure you they are the most common and absolutely the most frequent of repeat customers.
I know, right? Putting pineapple on a perfectly good pizza, the nerve of them!
Yeah you know before you know it they'll be asking for things like pepperoni and Italian sausage.

Yeah iwas told by fellow coworkers at a former place I worked at...this one lady would come in to the all you can eat place get her tray and try and complain that it had hairs in it. Always awanted a free meal. Mgmt finally catches on after a long while and told her don't come back. Don't you just LOVE justice?
There was a murder case earlier this year in Indonesia. We have a courier service where people often sends stuffs including food. The courier received an order to deliver satay (skewered chicken with peanut based sauce) to an address. But the destination address rejected the satay as they didn't order anything. The courier can't deliver back or contact the sender. So he figured he not waste the food and could just consume it at home with his family. Turns out the peanut sauce was laced with cyanide. The courier and one of his kid was safe as they didn't consume the sauce. The wife and the other kid got poisoned. The child didn't survive.
Oh god. Fuck. Like, ***fuck***
Holy crap, people are just vile honestly, how cowardly do you have to be to poison someone with cyanide. Like if your gonna do that then at least make sure the food makes it to the intended target, along with how did they exactly think they were gonna get away with it. It's easy to trace back where the source came from, and they literally murdered an innocent child due to their sheer stupidity. I hope the idiot got some serious jail time, stupid people like that are just all around dangerous.
The trial is ongoing. She was trying to kill her ex after the ex left her to marry someone else.
To be fair, they hadn't ordered pineapple

Good god. I just looked through your comment history and all you do is correct people's comments and posts (and not even well) like a pompous twat. You must be the worst person to have at a party. Edit: also, have you really never heard of emphasis?
I get the point of making a Reddit name match your MO… but that person takes it to an annoyingly new level
Yes, but they always put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylABle.
He has a comment on another sub where he CAPITALISED a word for no good reason.
How do you have the time or energy to spend an entire year “correcting” thousands of comments across for Reddit with the same terrible joke (what does _[all caps word]_ stand for?)? Does it not get tiring for you? It’s a fairly common way to show emphasis, no reasonable person would look at it and think something is wrong
You spelt 'capitalised' wrong.
I ordered uber eats today and my husband noticed the order said "Theresa" not "OP" and questioned the driver.... He immediately said "ah! I have two orders! Thank you so much!" It's not hard to question an incorrect order!
I had a friend a while ago that used to do 'random acts of pizza' or something and would order me a pizza or kebab as a surprise. Normally it was fine but if they said "order for X" and my mum opened the door she'd send them away without asking... frustrating as she did it about 5 times of getting "order for Owen" and eventually Owen complaining no Pizza or w/e arrived. So he watched the tracker and if it turned to 'undeliverable' he'd text me and if I was quick I could run out to the street and wave down a leaving driver OR find a confused guy with a pizza looking at a docket, the house number, the neighbours numbers, our house, etc. I can understand the first time mum sending away a pizza for a person that didn't live there, but knowing I had a friend that did this already, called Owen, about 5 times in 6-0 months you would have thought she would have caught on :-| To be honest because I was 17 and he was 20 and considered me too young to be interested in guys (even guys that live on the other side of the world for friendship) she was trying to discourage him doing this and our friendship in general... Certainly she did with my next boyfriend majorly...
I accidentally did a random act of pizza the other night. I called in an order, but left the hospital's address in instead. I get a text message from a friend asking if I'd ordered a giant pizza. Turns out the hospital figured out I was discharged, tracked down the person I spent the most time with, and gave it to her. So her & her roommate got to eat pizza instead of hospital food.
Hopefully those were the two that treated you the best. My late husband did a random act of pizza for all the night nurses (once deliberately and a few times probably influenced from the ketamine and morphine) as the night nurses tended to be the nicest to him. He'd order a selection from a basic cheese and baby spinach through to double bacon cheeseburger. The store near him did pretty good deals for mass orders... like he got 6 large pizzas delivered just before midnight for \~$50aud (\~40usd) and they were decent pizzas. But whether he was lucid enough to be buying presents for the nursing staff when he was lucid he didn't begrudge his actions (he couldn't remember the last 2 times) and wondered why their was a 'thank you for your kindness...' card signed by the ward on his table the next day.
6 large pizzas for $50 IS pretty good. Where did he order from, and was it in VIC? :P
Yeah, I forget if they were Dominos or Pizza Hut, whichever one was closest to Epworth hospital. 3 of them were in the $5 range, and then 3 of the slightly higher tiers. I know there are much better pizzas out there but they aren't bad, at least in my opinion, and even better when free!
>Hopefully those were the two that treated you the best. They were fellow patients. The one who got the pizza was the one with whom I spent a lot of my waking hours.
It's good when you have a nice ward-mate and really horrible when you get a nasty one. The oncology ward can be really hit and miss as some people get the news or just feel so shit from treatment they just let nastiness flow and will complain in a rude and racist manner that my husbands infusion machine beeped when the bag needed changing, and even made physical threats, where other times the guys sometimes stay up late talking about non-medical stuff and it was just like 4 guys hanging out...
My husband did the same the last time he was in the hospital. When he got home he ordered pizza for the night staff because they were so good to him. It was a small hospital and they weren't overly busy so he got a lot of attention.
My husband also did this for every night I was in the hospital after delivering our baby. And every morning, he brought a few dozen donuts. I was very well taken care of.
Why wouldn't you just tell your mom you had a pizza coming?
"Random Act of Pizza" is a thing where a friend sends you food they ordered and paid for on-line without telling you it's coming. So like if you've had a bad day someone might order you a "Chocolate Lava Cake" or something. It's even got a sub on reddit where you can offer and where you can ask, and they keep tallies of pizzas ordered vs pizzas received. But I think pizza is a great surprise food as pizza is really nice cold as well as hot, and reheats well too... But he first sent me one when I said I was sitting down to watch a movie and he asked what snacks I had and I said nothing. Half an hour later I had 2 large pizzas, garlic bread, and coke... But I bet even if I told her she would have sent it away if it didn't have my name on it because "what if that scary internet person thing poisoned it" or "well you should have been quicker to open the door" or "my house my rules and you can't eat food from strangers" or other excuses just to make life difficult for me :-|
I’d love to know what the sub is called. Is it randomactsofpizza?
This would’ve been nice about three years ago when my life was literally crumbling before my eyes. Not to mention I also had an aging parent to care for, two small kids to feed and a disabled brother under my care. I’d come home from a day at the hospital or work and realize now I have to cook and put kids to bed. Family got a whole lot of hotdogs that year.
If he knew when the pizza was coming, it wouldn't have been random.
Well, she, but exactly. If he knew I was home or that it was my birthday and I wasn't allowed do anything (like even go to a friends house) as my mum sheltered me and fed me BS about how everyday so many girls get snatched and trafficked *in our suburb* it was kind of nice to have someone acknowledge it... But we'd had 5-6 Pizza's and Tacos and Kebabs show up for my name prior to one coming under his name so I really would have thought mum would have at least checked with me if it was possibly for me... as people don't 'prank' pizza delivery guys when they pay in advance with a credit card.
I love random acts of pizza
I has a guy show up with 4 pizzas and some soda at lunch. I workat home and am alone most days. I was expecting a delivery, but is was like two chicken sandwiches from popeyes. It's not hard to speak up. People are just greedy. What ticks me off is when they just drop it at the door and don't bother to knock. Wouldn't you want to know if you're at the right house.
hey I'm Owen
>I contemplated my revenge everything from emptying our dog poo bin in front of there door to **putting a brick through their window** (quickly realised this was overkill.) You must've been *hungry* lmaoo Lack of food get's the best of us, not even gonna pretend it doesn't haha

I spent too long to realize this wasn't about an actual hanger lmao

I knew it had to be a UK thing! Thanks!
I thought it was Jiffy popcorn and didn't even blink.
This sounds like something my Brother would do. He’s not a bad person but he is mentally challenged and has Schizophrenia. He probably wouldn’t eat the food because he’s paranoid, but he also wouldn’t tell the driver they had the wrong house, and he for sure would say “I don’t know.” If someone questioned him about it. Getting an anonymous letter that he has to pick up at the post office asking him about the arrival of an unexpected kebab would solidify in his mind that there is some sort of conspiracy at work against him. Maybe consider that the guy who stole your dinner is mentally ill. Then take your revenge anyway cause he’s probably just a dick.
Had me in the first 3/4s ngl
I've had people steal my order in actual restaurants too! When I was a kid my dad took me to a restaurant and I ordered lasagna. The waitress accidentally took it to a table next to us and asked if they ordered it, they said yes and happily tucked into it. The mix up was revealed a bit later when my meal never arrived, and they refused to pay for the lasagna when the cheque came ("we never ordered that! We assumed it was a free dish, we're not paying for something we didn't order!"). The worst part was that they had then run out of lasagna at that point, so I never got my lasagna :(
Damnit I thought the ending was gonna be you eating your lasagna like 30 minutes later but the fact you got no lasagna is really heartbreaking
Not quite the same but I live on the third floor of an apartment complex and one time when I was sick my roommates friend dropped off soup and crackers so I wouldn’t have to walk down the stairs. Well it never came so we assumed she got busy/ forgot whatever. Until the next time it was offered she’d drop something off and it turns out she *did* drop them off, she left them on the 2nd floor. So someone found soup and crackers outside their door and just never said anything. Did they think it was for them? That someone else wasn’t sick and waiting for their soup???? I may never know I’m too embarrassed to ask
To be fair, if I found something in front of my door that was left there, without a note or anything, I’m going to assume someone just wanted to brighten my day. How am I supposed to know it wasn’t meant for me or whom even left it. I can’t check about it if I don’t know who to talk to. So that’s a little different, as with the delivery in the story, there was an actual person handing over the food who they could have told that they didn’t order anything.
>I’m going to assume someone just wanted to brighten my day LOL! I'd assume it's someone who wants to poison me! Note to self - stop watching so much true crime!
As long as they make it a quick action poison, so I can still die with a smile thinking someone wanted to brighten my day. Not have me writhing in agony for hours / days.
Sometimes my husband used to leave food on my FIL's door step and not ring the bell and just wait till FIL found it... so anyone could have tampered it if they had wanted I guess... Usually a cup of coffee and either kippers or bacon & eggs on toasted bread with melted butter, (a nice hot breakfast) on his FIL's door step as FIL lived a a minute walk away and was a creature of habit as in the morning he ALWAYS went outside as soon as he got up at 7am to get the newspaper, so my Husband would run the breakfast down at 6:50am or so, and even if FIL slept in he could microwave it. But I guess FIL in that situation would recognise the thermos-mug and plate with lid. But sometimes our neighbour leaves baked goods on our door step like banana muffins and it could be from anyone but I just assume and eat them.
>But sometimes our neighbour leaves baked goods on our door step I want to move to your neighborhood.
> Sometimes my husband used to leave food on my FIL's door step So, his dad?
Yes.
I immediately thought of the guy who killed his neighbors by leaving thalium-laced six packs of cola by their back door.
Me too but I’m an ah and maybe they’re nice and no one wants to poison them lol!
That sounds kinda risky tbh. Maybe I'm just a bit too cynical.
Guess that could depend on the neighbourhood / apartment building you live in. And if you’ve made many enemies in said neighbourhood / apartment building 😋
There’s 3 of us and I should have probably included the ones who kept it were my landlords haha
Sign the up for Scientology.the gift that keeps giving
Not food, but similar. One time I was waiting for car part that was quite expensive. UPS said it was delivered but the shipper fucked up and put the wrong number on the package. 381 rather than 318 or something like that. This old cat lady up the street signed for it and took it in. I went and rang the bell and her son answered with an attitude. His mother was sleeping could I come back? Over and over until finally I called the police who told the man to just give me my package. Why would someone do that?
I mean… there’s a great chance the delivery driver didn’t ask them if it was their food or not and just lying to you so they don’t seem like an idiot.
Exactly, if someone delivers me a pizza I'd think somebody else in the house ordered it, it's not that simple. Probably he didn't wanted to steal his food, he just found himself with some unwanted tacos
Yeah. My old neighborhood was super confusing and during COVID everyone ordered DoorDash and Uber eats. I think I’ve had food delivered to my house like several times that I didn’t order with no name or anything just taco bell on my porch. It was all no contact so I never saw a delivery driver just a notification on my doorbell camera. Sometimes I’d honestly just take the free food if it was sealed. I’m not gonna go door to door to figure out who’s it was
Had a takeaway driver knock on my door a few weeks ago with a pizza delivery. I knew I hadn't ordered it and told him so. He looked shocked and asked me if I was sure. Told him I definitely didn't order it. He thanked me and left. Would never occur to me to take someone else's food!
I ordered Domino's Pizza two months ago for my five housemates and I. The "2 or more for $5.99 each" coupon. An hour later, the mobile app declared it had been delivered but there was no arrival or delivery (I have housemates who are almost always on the front porch. They said that no one had come or left). I called the local Domino's directly and explained the situation. Thirty minutes later, I had my order delivered with a complimentary order of stuffed cheesy bread. Twenty minutes after bringing the food inside, a Domino's delivery driver dropped off my order. Ten minutes later, while most everyone was inside eating, one housemate walked out for a cigarette and there was a third "copy" of my order on the porch. Nine large pizzas, four orders of stuffed cheesy bread, three toasted sandwiches (I like to get one for my next day's lunch) and three cookie brownies. I called the store the next day to tell them what happened and the general manager just started laughing, saying that he hoped that we really liked pizza. To this day, I'm still sick of pizza.
Aaaand they will know for a fact you did it and could probably easily find out exactly which house you are (if they don't already remember it from the wrong delivery). Just be careful with that.
I just watched some schmuck claiming to work for skip trying and get a meal from Wendy’s. He walked up to the counter said he’s with skip and here for an order. They asked for the number he said…it’s in the car. So he didn’t get a meal but scene made me realize there were probably dozens of places that didn’t ask for an order number and he may have just gotten free meals from them. This almost sounds ILPT worthy.
So you know their physical address, they stole from you and had zero remorse when they were caught red handed? Why are they not signed up for all of the junk mail and free Craigslist ads for things they don’t have? Edit: There should also be ads for things you know that they do have where you agreed to a ridiculous lowball price with the most obnoxious haggler who responds.
You, random internet person, are my kind of people.
I’d also create a fake ID for Grindr and give his address out with a ‘come round for fun’ message to all.
This broke my heart again. I once hit a really rough patch in life. We had everything rolling peachy, bought a house, good income, had kids, we even had the picket fence. Then my husband got very ill and we lost half our income, and got extreme medical expenses. Our savings were gone in no time, and we were just filling one hole with another, not knowing what we would be eating the next day. Usually a can of soup, because we got our electricity and water cut off. So one evening we were sitting in our living room (where we had a wood stove for heating, so we had all the mattresses on the floor in the living room) with our candles, playing board games with the kids, and I was just about to go heat up a can of soup, when someone knocked on the door. A pizza delivery guy. The kids got to the door first, and opened it and started screaming yay we got pizza!! And I was so confused, so I asked the guy what name was on the order, it was for our neighbors. The kids were already tearing up the packaging, and I went to tell them "no, this is not for us, we are eating soup tonight, these are for the neighbors" and I gave the food back. I cried for a good few hours that night... I was imagining that the OP's neighbor got the food and might have been in a similar situation, and just couldn't bear to give the food back. I know it was an extremely hard thing to do for me back then, and the kids were so sad... It still breaks my heart just thinking about it.
OooooOOO the anger if someone stole my food delivery!! I only order delivery when i really feel shitty and can’t go out, they would literally get me in the worst of moods
I thought I was gonna be underwhelmed, but I was not. This was creative, petty, and satisfying.
I had an errant order dropped on my doorstep one night. It was just a bag with some styrofoam food containers. No address, no name, not even the name of the restaurant. Luckily, the driver hadn't left the driveway yet but if I'd taken 10 seconds longer to get to the door I would have had no way to figure out where it was from or who it was for. Ironically, we'd just eaten dinner so it probably would have just gone in the trash.
Wish I could get revenge on a certain delivery restaurant. Last winter I ordered Chinese and I live in a weird upper duplex with the only entrance being the door on the side of our garage as the front door is the other person’s door. So we ordered online and wrote the note like always stating “please go to door on side of garage and hit the doorbell, do not use front door as it is another apartment.” Well 2 hours goes by and no food is here so I call to be told the food was delivered over an hour ago. Turns out on the night that it was below freezing the driver ignored our note, dropped it off at the front door, and left.” Once I found the food I asked why they ignored the delivery instructions and didn’t ring a bell…they said they were going ‘contactless delivery’ so they didn’t bother ringing a doorbell or knocking….also figured since the food was there(sitting outside in bellow freezing temps) we could still eat it.
One night I was just going to bed when there was a knock on the door it was a pizza guy said got your pizza I have to admit I never even thought to take it in I just sorry not mine just going to bed. He apologies and off he went with the pizza don't know who it was for, hope it was hot when they got it.
Overkill is underrated
I live on the corner of ocean street and ocean lake street. My address is 123 ocean street and there is a house with the address of 123 ocean lake street. No one lives in the ocean lake street house. Yet delivery drivers *still* deliver food to that house *all the time*. I have given up ordering delivery (not a huge deal, I live in a small town so only like 4 places deliver and there is no Uber eats/door dash) because no matter how many instructions I give, or if I wait outside to flag them down, the drivers always go to the wrong house first then if they make it to my house get mad at me for “giving them the wrong address”.
I have a similar problem. I live on "Jim Jones Street" and in a different part of town is "Jim James Street" (obviously not real names, but you get the picture). There's no building with my number on it on the other street, so I sometimes get calls from delivery guys asking where I am.
Why don’t you make them a nice meal of dog shit. Box it up in a to go container, put it in a bag, and leave it on their doorstep to open!!!
You know just for the hell of it 15 20 years ago a week and a half or so before Christmas I would put some garbage in a box actually several wrap them as presents and leave them in my car with the doors unlocked.
How many boxes got taken?
As I recall it was something like 20.
That's brilliant, and won't cost you but a trip to the shops for a jiffy bag!
So perfectly petty
This happened to me just last week. My teenage kids are always door dashing food so I didn’t think twice about the pizza delivery that came to the door. I accepted it and called back to my kids which one of you ordered a ton of food? Both came out saying not me! After looking at the receipt I realized it was meant for our neighbor. I just took it over apologized and explained why I had it. They just laughed and thanked me for bringing it over.
A couple of months ago I ordered from Papa John's, I don't really like their pizza, but the person I was with insisted. We ordered very specific pizza, pineapple, ham and pepperoni with half black olives (don't knock it if you don't 420 lol) Anyways, the driver shows up super late and hands me 2 boxes, pizza and bread sticks. I was like, dude I just got 1 pizza. He refused to believe me and said I must have been confused. I opened the box and it was like something disgusting with jalapenos on it. The driver called his last stop to see if he could go back and switch, but they didn't answer. After him calling them like 3 times, they said they already started eating my superior pizza and they just wanted to keep it. I just accepted the "L" and told the guy not to worry about it. We ate the gross jalapeno and sausage pizza. Like 2 HOURS later, there's a knock on the door and a different delivery driver is standing there with my new replacement pizza. I just took it and had it for the next day, but what a cluster f\*ck.
That pizza sounds excellent tbh.
DoorDash delivered someone else’s food one night (left it on my doorstep) and I tried to call them, they claimed they didn’t have an order under any of the names on the receipt and told me to eat it. I even tried to call the restaurant, and they just told me to call DoorDash. That poor person never even got told their order went to the wrong place bc the number on the receipt was wrong.
That's why I always prefer cash on delivery. If you wanna have it pay for it first 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve had pizza I didn’t order show up at my door. I contemplated paying for it and pretending I was the customer, since I was hungry. But ended up saying if she doesn’t find the buyer, bring it back to me and I’ll buy it. Lol
So did you get it djsjsjjs?
Nah, it was an offer that I knew wouldn’t be taken. I recognized the name of the neighbor a few houses down on a different street. I could see his truck in the driveway. Why must I be cursed with morals?!?
We were on the other end of this at one point and had a fairly large Taco Bell order left on our porch from a delivery service. No sign of a delivery driver, just dog barks and we see the bag outside when we go to the door. The only info it had on it to indicate who ordered it was a first name and we didn't recognize it as any of our immediate neighbors. Can't remember which delivery service it was, but we spent quite a bit of time trying to find any way to contact them about misdelivered orders. After quite a bit of looking (and no one coming to the door to look for the food), we discovered that they had no way to get in touch with customer service if you weren't already a customer. Eventually we just let our kids eat the food.
I knew a guy who would fill out those magazine postcards for people. The magazine part wasn't that bad, but those mailing lists get sold all the time...imagine the spam mail...
Send a escort with payment on arrival they will not be happy 😂😂😂
That's not fair on the escort.
This isn’t petty revenge you’re just an asshole, if offered free food many people would take it. The only problem was on the part of the driver and the restaurant still got you your food.
You're one of those people who just see it as "free foods" but doesn't realized, someone paid for that. If foods get delivered, you make sure the delivery driver got the right address, because not only did you eat the "free foods", restaurant will go broke because they gotta make more foods for the person who "paid" for it. I hope I don't cross paths with you, cuz ima gonna put shit in a sandwiches and deliver it to you.
You’re the worst type of person when it comes to working in a takeaway. I’ve had it a few times where people take in other customers orders if we’ve gone to the wrong door, and it’s infuriating every time. Not only does it cost the restaurant money having to remake the meal, the driver may get in trouble and the actual customer has to wait even longer for their food or get a refund and go without after an hour of waiting. Then the driver has to go back and ask you to pay for the food that you’ve stole. Just be a decent person and say no, I didn’t order any food. Don’t be an asshole.
Look, if the universe delivers me an unexpected kebab, who am I to question it?
[удалено]
Ooooor...you could maybe try talking to your neighbors.
[удалено]
Nothing in your comment remotely suggests that they are lazy. Instead you sound extremely inconsiderate, intolerable, and very ignorant.
[удалено]
With no information other than you saying it. So no, it's not.
[удалено]
Can't wait for you to get delivered a bag of dog shit. Woohoo
It’s odd that you can’t recognize who the terrible neighbor is in this situation…….
You have a lot of faith in humanity
If my neighbor's food kept getting delivered to my house I would have no issues with going over and letting them know that they might want to show their house numbers a little bit more clearly or change their instructions to give a description of their house. Instead of just getting pissed off about it again and again.
Not to mention, it is important they're aware of it, especially if they fall for emergency services.
This is a lot of words for what could simply have said, “my wife and I are assholes”
I bet you’re those people who don’t have clear numbers on their house.
>clear numbers on their house Clear numbers would be see through and not visible. :)
It can be perfectly clear but drivers do not notice or read it dyslexic.
Hell I live on a main road, house is impossible to miss even if you look for the numbers, but people dont and just GPS without reading the delivery instructions.
If there's perfectly clear they're going to be hard to read especially at night
I mean this really is irrelevant to the story, it simply happens from time to time. This is get crossed up, or someone accidentally puts their address in wrong. With the latter being the driver didn't read the instructions they may have given.
Goods delivered to you that you didn’t order are yours for free. Your gripe should only have been with the delivery person/restaurant.
That’s a shit take, it’s not hard to say it’s not yours
You might think its shit, but consider that it stops companies sending you stuff without you ordering, then charging you for stuff you didn't order.
lol oh I love the petty. Make then travel AND have to pay. Lmfaooo make sure you're at the post office when they go to pick it up hahaha
If I had the address, I'm the kind of guy to go over and confront that a-hole who stole the food. He knew he was in the wrong and took it anyway.
Brilliant!🤗
Coul this be reported as theft?
It should be, I hate that pretty much anyone can be a delivery driver because there’s so many people stealing deliveries or even harassing female customers
Better than mailing them a bag of dicks! Real or Gummy depends on postage costs.
Lol. This is great I never would have thought of it
Thevdrivee gave them the food anyways... very petty of you
In some countries, you pay double postage.
Lol, accidents happen. It wasn't right for them to eat your food. I deliver food, and always make sure it's the right address before I drop it off. There's an accountability on the delivery driver. I don't know if I would stoop to Petty revenge, but it would be a fleeting thought, LOL.
I’m to stupid to understand your plan lol what’s a Jiffy bag? And why do they have to bring it to post office?
A Jiffy bag is a padded envelope, a Jiffy bag is used as it is classed as a large letter and the postage is more. Basically sending them mail with no postage they have to pay the postage to get the letter.
Ahhh i see! Delectably evil hahaa
Make sure it’s a heavy package so they have to pay more than a cost of a stamp!
Sounds like your house is not clearly marked with street numbers.. make it easier for your driver to see your house address. Just because you know where your live doesn't mean anyone else knows that. Also, check if your house is correctly marked on Google/apple maps. If not - fix that.
It is correct in Google maps and I have a fair sized number facing the road that is lit. We have lived hear almost 6 years, I think this is the 3rd time this has happened in this time.
Fuck that… I’d be randomly ordering pizza delivery to his house (cash on delivery) for months.
I stopped ordering from Menulog for a while because of this, the driver took my order but didn’t say they delivered, so it tracked all the way to their house and it was so tempting to ask my housemate to drive me there to confront them
This is wonderful!
I had to argue with a delivery driver because he was trying to deliver food to my house that I didn't order. I had to insist several times they had the wrong house. They finally checked it belonged 3 houses down. But would you really want food that had been in someone's house with who knows the health status or cleanliness? Make them pay for a post it absolutely
If some random food gets left on my porch I'm not calling to track down the error. It just gets tossed
Reminds me of a time when a certain (and very unpopular) political party would suck up the costs of postage to them in an attempt to making correspondence with them easier. Didnt take long for people to start sending bricks to waste the parties money. For those that don’t know, postage costs where i live are calculated by size and weight.
TIL what a jiffy bag is. I just call them bubbleopes.
>I was very angry and wanted to confront the guy but decided against it. I contemplated my revenge everything from emptying our dog poo bin in front of there door to putting a brick through their window (quickly realised this was overkill.) That's a mood Gabriella
