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.

You could definitely automate this with voice commands in Home Assistant

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.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm calling bullshit. No way a cop would do that in uniform. You're lying to deny us the pleasure of the full story where the uniform came off. We see through your german tricks.

Pizza ~~delivery guy~~ dealer

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 13 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

valid. but I never expected a pizza guy to just walk into someone else's apartment and start laying out the food lol

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 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Will a good tip by their silence?

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

Depends entirely on its.... csi:m glasses on... delivery.

[–] honurash@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought this was a meme about the lady shouting to an empty house so that the delivery guy will think she has company, in case he's a predator.

And the deliver guy knows exactly what's going on and thus is hurt that she finds him threatening.

.. Or I could be way off base because I didn't find my explanation funny, just like 'slice of life' kinda post.

There's probably a way more obvious explanation that I'm missing..

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I assumed it was that she ordered a lot of pizza and doesn't want to be judged for her choices, so she's pretending it's for a lot of people

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 22 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That is not what the OP is about though.

How often did that happen?

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 weeks ago

As many times as they fake called their pizza joint.

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

*in the US.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

1 pizza alone is only a little sad.

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's called meal prepping!

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

I see the 20 pizza part.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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.

When my wife and kids are way i love nothing more than ordering a pizza and eating it all gradually throughout the night

Speaking as a pizza guy, we know and don't care. I'm not here to judge you for your order or how haggard you look when you open the door. I only judge you based on how well you tip for the service I provide. My store has several regular customers who essentially use us for meal prep and order enough food to last a week. I couldn't care less about how much you order or how many people you're feeding. If you're not a shitty customer, you'll likely be forgotten as soon as I'm on my next delivery.
