PIZZA DELIVERY GUY (ME): knocks on door
CUSTOMER: Who is it???
If you order a pizza, and 30 minutes or less later there’s a knock on your door, just who the hell do you THINK it is? Mahatma Ghandi???
Sometimes I think the entire west side of Springfield, Illinois needs to be bitch-slapped. :mad:
Well, yeah. We sent him up to the corner to get the beer.
Next time someone says “who is it” you should answer back “Land shark.”

Of course I have to ask “Who is it?” every time. If I hadn’t, the land shark would’ve gotten me years ago.
Or, in a Brooklynesque accent, “It’s da plumbah! I’ve come ta fix the sink!”
Am I the only one who remembers this?
Damn simulpost. [grumble, grumble]
When I’m hungry enough to order in (and this is for any type of delivery), I usually get to the door so fast, it scares the delivery guy (or girl). So there. 
As long as you deliver my pizza hot, and as long as it’s been horizontal from the pizza place to my place, I’ll keep doing that. 
Damn it, I laughed right out loud at work over this one. Tears down the cheeks. Thanks- I needed that.

Well… When I order in and someone knocks, I always say “one moment!”
Only semi-related story:
When we were getting the phone hooked up in our appartment, I was the one that was stuck waiting for the phone guy. He was supposed to show up between one and four o’clock.
My sister called and said that she would be over to have lunch with me. I usually eat pretty early, so I wasn’t surprised to hear a knock at 10:30.
I put down my book, and said in an odd falsetto sing-song voice, “Who Eeeees it?”
I expected my sister to answer back in the same voice, we’ve been doing it for years. Imagine my surprise when a man’s voice says back, hesitantly, “Uhm…you need a phone put in?”
Absolutely mortified, I answered back in the same sing-song voice, “One Meee-nut!”
Then I opened the door, and told the guy where the phone jack is like nothing was odd.
I can’t help but think everytime I tell this story that somewhere, there’s a phone guy that is telling the same story from the other side.
Just curious – how did your sister call you before your phone was hooked up? 
Didn’t you just rant about Subway a couple months ago? I think that you and the food service industry just really don’t get along.
Hey, even here in Assboink, NY we have cell phones. I’d guess that’s what he meant?

I work at Subway® in the daytime, and deliver pizza at night.

“Candygram.”

Who is it?

Nope, sorry, rast, but I’m not opening my door until I know (or have a reasonable idea) who’s on the other side. Is it that hard to say “Domino’s” (or “Pizza Hut” or “Papa John’s” or whoever)?
Folks are security-conscious. Probably more so now than ever. Can’t blame them for asking who’s knocking on their door.
So I’ve gotta hook up this guy’s phone jack, right? So I go up and knock on the door and he goes “Who EEEEEEES it?” in this whacked-out voice. Weirdest thing I ever heard.
<D&R>
OK, I’m remembering the “plumbah” joke, but not remembering from where. Fill me in!
And always answer, “Buglar!”

It was a cartoon/vignette on the Electric Company, wasn’t it?
The one that gets me Rasta, is when they open the door a crack and slide the money through to me. I am standing there with this 16 in horizontal box and the stupid prick doesnt want to open the door!
Oh yeah we have one women in our delivery area that WON’T open the door… the check is taped to the door we ring the bell andd leave… no freakin tip either…
