  • "Where is my pizza?"

    This happened about two weeks ago, I just remembered it now while I was looking through some old threads on here.

    It is quite late at the pub and I am in the process of sorting out all the cash. The phone rings.

    RING! RING!

    Me: Good evening *pub name*.
    SC: Yeah...we ordered a pizza about an hour ago. Where is it?
    Me: I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number. This is *pub*.
    SC: Oh...OK, sorry.
    Me: No problem.

    I go back to what I am doing. A couple of minutes later...

    RING! RING!

    Me: Good evening *pub name*
    SC: Yeah...I ordered a pizza like over an hour ago. Can you tell me where it is?
    Me: You called two minutes ago. You've still got *pub*
    SC: Really?
    Me: Yes.
    SC: Oh. *click*

    RING! RING!

    Me: *sighs because I know what's coming* Pub name.
    SC: Yeah...we ordered a pizza...
    Me: And you have still got *pub*
    SC: What?!? Are you sure?
    Me: I am fairly certain I am not working in a pizza place. Maybe you should recheck that number.
    SC: Fiiiiine! *click*

    RING! RING!

    Me: *Pub name*
    SC: Look, I've had enough of this...
    Me: *click*

    RING! RING!

    Me: ....
    SC: Hello? Hello?
    Me: *click*

    I unplugged the phone.

    Might have been a lame attempt at a prank, like that whole "Do you have Battletoads" thing at the game store. Still sucky to bug sombody at work. I had a night where a drunk called the group home a few times apparently thinking we were a thrift store of the same name and that people would be there at 3 am.

      I think after the first couple of times the SC would think that maybe they actually did get the wrong number. Or it was a prank, someone just wanting to be a smartass too.
      Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

        Or they were just an idiot and kept hitting redial, not realizing that, you know, hitting redial is just going to redial the same WRONG number that they just called.

        Yes, it really has happened before.

          Maybe the SC should've asked where his brain was instead of his pizza. Moron.

            Which brings us back to the definition of Insanity:

            Performing the same action over and over and expecting a different result.

              I keep expecting someone to use that quote, but change it in a funny way. And they never do.

              How come no one ever goes, "The definition of insanity: Performing the same action over and over and stop the weasels from jerseying."?
              Ba'al: I'm a god. Gods are all-knowing.

                I read that as "expecting a different insult", and I have no idea why.

                  Sometime before they added the new Terminal to Detroit Metro Airport, I got a cell phone. My number was very similar to the number of the Traveler's Aid Number at the airport. I don't know how many times I would get a call from someone saying that their daughter was on flight so and so. This one person called like three times. At one point she said, "Are you sure you're not the airport?". Uh yeah, I can't figure out that I'm not an airport. I have alot of plane models...but geeze.

                    "Are you sure you're not the airport?"

                    "One moment please, let me just double-check."
                    (Puts the phone down. In the distance, the SC can hear the poster shout, "Holy cow! Where did this come from?")
                    Each one of us has a special place just like the Evergreen Forest. Enchanting, sparkling, and perfect. And, like the flowers that bloom there... fragile.

                      From a long-past version of this site:
                      You're right, there IS a large hardware store in my living room!
                      (the caller in question was looking for, um, "House Station")
                      Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.
