Speaker 1 (00:00):
You guys, I did.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
One of the dumbest things I can think of in
recent history. And I've done some dumb things, but deer blogs.
So I was out of town and I was, well,
I should just I should say like this. I think
I just screwed up the whole story, to be honest
with you. One week off and I screwed up the
whole story.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
But I.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ordered a pizza. Okay, I ordered a pizza. This was
last weekend, and I ordered the pizza and I'm waiting
and I'm waiting and I'm waiting and the pizza is
not showing up. And then finally I get a phone
call from the pizza delivery driver and the guy's like, hey,
I'm here. They won't let me up. And I'm like,
(00:43):
I don't know what you're talking about. I live in
a high rise. They'll let you up. And I'll be honest,
I usually give a good tip up front for delivery drivers,
like I'll just because I realized they're gonna have to
sort of park in front of the building and then
put the item in front of my door. That's the service, right, Jameson,
I mean you used to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yes, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So you can select, you know, if you where you
want it, you put your little note in there.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
And there's a parking place right now. There's a place
to park right in front. So I'm not asking people
to do anything outrageous and then come up the elevator.
And I tip well already because I know it's a
little bit of extra effort and whatever. So the guys like,
they say, I can't come up. I'm like, no, you,
you can come up. So I'm already a little annoyed
because this sounds to me like this is a person
who just doesn't want to do that, which happens sometimes.
(01:31):
So then I get another call. The guy's like they're
not gonna let me up. I'm here, you know, and
I'm like, you're And then he starts describing the place
like you're not here. I don't know where you are,
and he starts rattling off a bunch of numbers, and
I'm like, that's not I'm like, dude, not only I'm honestly,
I'm starting to get a little attitude here. I'm like,
I just want my pizza. Man, where are you? You
(01:52):
can't even describe where you are? How am I supposed
to find you? Whatever. So finally I'm just like, I'm annoyed.
I hang up and I go to look at the
tracker of the pizza service. I go to look at
it because I'm like, this guy, where is he? You
know where he is? He's at the hotel where I
ordered the last pizza from in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's where he is.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
He's exactly where he was supposed to be, in the
hotel lobby holding my pizza, and the of course they
won't let him up because he didn't have a room key.
And I forgot to change the address in the thing
because I'm used to it doing it automatically on one
particular pizza website. It didn't do it. So I felt
so stupid that I I just I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Did you go with him or did you like ghost?
I ghosted him because I accepted defeat.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right Like they got paid for their pizza and he
got his tip, and I'm that's I mean, I didn't
know where to call to him. I mean, I didn't
like cuss up the guy. I wasn't rude, I was
just frustrated. But I figured in this point, I don't
get to ask for a refund. I don't get to
ask for the tip. I don't get to do anything.
I'm the idiot. I didn't change the address. I'm a moron.
Where's my pizza? It's exactly where it was supposed to.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Be enjoyed that. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
That happens so often though, Like when I used to DoorDash,
like people would put their work address right and then
you'd end up at their work or they're not paying
attention when the little app is saying like, like you know,
DoorDash would actually say like you're not close to this location,
like are you sure right? So I couldn't even imagine
if you're using a service that doesn't remind you, like
how many times that happens.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I had a woman one time.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
We were kind of casually dating, and I don't know,
and maybe she sent me something from door dash, or
maybe she was at my house and ordered it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But all I know is that maybe like three weeks ago,
but I hadn't talked to her, and I get this
call that I have a delivery and I don't have
a delivery. I didn't order her this time. I didn't
order anything to the wrong place, and so I asked you,
what is it? And it was like wine and cheese
and like chocolate. It seemed kind of like a like
(03:59):
a romantic sort of thing. I don't know, like it
just seemed like the kind of stuff you'd order, like
if you were having I guess you could be having
anybody over, but I don't know. My head goes to,
you're you're inviting someone over like that you like or whatever. Anyway,
about two minutes later, I get a text from this
girl going, hey, I ordered a bunch of stuff over
(04:19):
to your house. Is supposed to come to mind, I'm
going to come pick it up. I have no idea
what it was for, but I contend it was for
another date. She was having another man over, and she
was ordering the shark couterie.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And you know, because you got to provide that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You got to provide the sharkcoot if you're having people over,
you know, a little wine. I mean, at least it
wasn't like condoms too, that would have been really embarrassing.
But anyway, so that, yeah, she had to. I don't
know what I would have done that situation. I think
I would have just done the same thing I did
here and done nothing like I don't think I would
have owned it. I think I would have just been like, oh,
(04:51):
I sent it to the wrong place, like Enjoy and
then ordered something else so I didn't have to explain it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I just take the ash and keep it moving, right, Because.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Now it's like she had to come to my house.
I wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
She had to come to my house pick this stuff up,
and I don't know what it was for and anyway,
So but that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And I don't know if it was the right thing
to do. I'm not saying that it was.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I probably should have apologized, but the guy got his
tip and they got their money for the pizza, and
I just accepted that I'm the moron, and I think
that's all you can do. That poor man still standing
in that lobby, But like it just didn't make sense.
I'm like, dude, I don't know where you are. Well,
I didn't know where he was. I, in fact, did
(05:34):
not know where he was.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And I'm an idiot and he got a nice tip,
and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm sorry, sir. If you're listening, waiting by the phone
is new and next
