Damn my honesty

So I hear a knock on my door a minute ago, which is quite odd, since almost nobody knows where I live (certainly not the exact apartment). I open the door and it's a guy with two pizzas. I tell him he must have the wrong place. He looks at the address listed and says is this [insert address of my place]. I tell them that it is, but I didn't order the pizza. He then decides to call whoever ordered it and walks off.

I should have first asked if it was pre-paid by credit card before telling him anything else.

"That should be prepaid with credit card, right?"
"Yes sir."
"Wonderful. You know, you're such a nice guy, I'm writing you a $50 tip. Fantastic."

Honesty is good! What if there is someone holed up in his apartment, busy with work and unable to cook who really needed the pizza? You could have deprived someone of delicious pizza! Good job on doing the right thing. :)

It could have been from someone he knew who figured he might be hungry. I used to do that for friends and family all the time. I'd order a pizza and have it delivered to a friend whom I knew didn't have much money. Fortunately, the Pizza delivery places never questioned this. :lol:
 
I'd be scared if I got a delivery that I hadn't ordered. I might accept the pizza and then scrutinize the topping looking for a secret message or something.

The pizza box would have the delivery and billing address on the side. My friends would recognize the billing address and know I had sent it. I wanted to have that part hidden, but your concerns were exactly why I didn't. I mean, I wouldn't accept an unknown pizza delivered to me either. Wait, maybe if it had extra cheese and onions. :D

Maybe it served him right for not knowing his own apartment's address :p

I thought about that (or more likely, tried to rationalize accepting it by thinking this). However, unless it's my family or (ironically) one specific member of this board, I don't think anyone knows my specific address.

Back when I was in undergrad, I once walked down the street drunk and another guy who was drunk saw me and gave me his pizza. I started eating it on the way back. It wasn't until I got back to my house that I realized that maybe that wasn't the smartest idea.

That's going to be one heck of a delivery surcharge! :lol:

I'd take the pizza to a chemical lab and have it analyzed for poison. I have enemies, you know. :eek:
 
^ That's great. Of course, we all know you're too sweet to do something like that! :lol:

Alls fair in love and pizza. I probably would've sent it back to, knowing my luck the damn thing would be COD.
