I get dispatched on a distance delivery. I roll up to the crappy apt building and enter. first off I see the apt I am supposed to deliver to slightly ajar. OK maybe they are waiting for me. I knock
No answer. I wait for 30 seconds and knock again. no answer. OK maybe they are occupied such as taking a dump or calming down the kids, etc.
Following my general rule ie. a couple of door knocks/doorbell rings + no answer = call the customer. I dial the number on the ticket and get voice mail. I leave my standard message about an order bein placed from this number and no one is answering the door. I return to my car and get in. 2 minutes later I get a call from the number. the caller askes who I am.
me - Pizza delivery person.
her - well I did not order any pizza tonight.
me - well this is the number I have on the ticket and the address is 123 moron street apt 2
her - hmmmmmm that is my number but not my address. that sounds like my daughter's address.
me - <thinking OK what is your daughter doing using your phone number when ordering pizza> well if that is your daughter's address no one is answering the door and the door is open.
her - let me call my daughter and see what is up
then I hear a tapping on my window. I look and see a woman walking past my car. I roll down my window and she says "I ordered delivery." I bid the mother goodbye and follow the woman into the building. as I enter the building she slams the apt door in my face. I stand there for a second expecting it to re-open and the delivery to take place.
****** time passes*******
I knock on said apt door and no one answers. I wait and knock again. the door opens and the transaction gets completed.

see what it happened is: she HAD to enter the apartment, close the door and have the delivery person knock. And they had to knock twice, because it ALWAYS takes her that long to get to the door. If she doesn't follow the correct pattern, the pizza will taste awful and the world will end. Have you no sympathy, no compassion for her insistence on preserving the world?
