  • When the delivery driver arrives, just answer the dam door!

    A week or 2 ago I arrived at an apartment complex to deliver a pizza and knocked on the door. I heard something from the other side of the door, a lady's voice, and then again several seconds later. I thought she was talking to someone inside her apartment. Then she says a third time, "Yeah?"
    Ok people, first of all, wouldn't it make more sense to say "Who is it?". Second, if you're not gonna have the fucking courtesy to just open the door before you know who's there, don't you think maybe it'd be a good idea to speak louder? Talking through doors isn't a very good idea unless you speak louder, and I considerate it to be very rude and inconsiderate. Third, if you order food for delivery and someone shows up 20 to 30 minutes later, um yeah, 99.9% of the time its the delivery driver. Talk about paranoia. Also I hate customers who talk through doors asking "Who is it?". So many times I wanted to say "Its the boogeyman!" Guess what people, this is what peepholes were invented for. Also its not like we live in a dangerous area, but I guess there's always a small chance of something bad happening, but still.... just do like normal people do and just answer the fucking door.

            Aw, thanks! I must say, every time I see your avatar, I think of this Joel Veitch video.

              One of my favorites too, although my following up is usually to anyone asking the lead in question out loud. Always good for a questioning stare.

                        Either "burglar" or "land shark" is a good reply when they ask.

                          We had a pick up scheduled for some donations. We were home, but the driver couldn't wait more than 10 seconds at the door (my disabled husband moves a bit slow, OK). So they didn't get our donations, it's going by the curb.
