Maybe it’s the introvert in me talking, but there’s nothing — and I mean nothing — more exciting than someone delivering a hot, fresh pizza to your door. These days, you can open an app, customize your perfect pie, and have someone bring it directly to you. Isn’t that wonderful?! Just typing it fills me with joy. It’s the little things that make life exciting. And to me, pizza delivery is very high on that list. So if I received a free pizza, I’d be over the moon. Which is exactly what happened to Reddit user Ralome. Well… sort of.
Recently, Ralome ended up in a sticky situation. One of their roommates accepted a pizza delivery, assuming someone in their apartment placed it. They ate slices here and there, thinking it was communal food. But it turns out, the pizzas were actually for their neighbor. How’d they find out? Because their neighbor left a hilariously aggressive note in their mailbox about the incident the next day. Oops.
“My housemate accepted two pizzas at the door from the delivery guy as it’s not uncommon for someone in our house to order food and not hear the door,” Ralome wrote on Reddit. “Today we got this letter through the mailbox.
“
Here’s the hilariously aggressive note in question:
Phew. Okay. Let’s unpack this situation, shall we?
We see both sides. Yes, the roommates should have gone to greater lengths to make sure the pizza was rightfully theirs before accepting (and especially eating) it.
But it sounds like it was an honest mistake.
As many Redditors pointed out, the roommates should apologize to their neighbor and explain what happened.
Ordering the neighbor two replacement pizzas would be a nice touch.
But the neighbor shares some blame here, too.
They have every right to be upset. But writing such an aggressive note probably wasn’t the best course of action.
Especially an unsigned one. The thieves still don’t know whose pizza they accidentally ate.
While we’re on the topic of the neighbor’s aggressive note…
Redditors did sympathize with the neighbor whose pizza was stolen.
But they also had a lot of thoughts about the neighbor’s grammar.
Like, a lot of thoughts.
After weighing both sides, we figured out who deserves the blame: the pizza delivery person.
Basically, the whole situation has us like this:
What have we learned?
Lesson #1: Check to make sure a pizza is yours before accepting it.
Lesson #2: If you accidentally eat your neighbor’s pizza, apologize and make it up to them.
Lesson #3: If someone eats your pizza, don’t jump to conclusions.
The note is funny, but we have to admit it: We’d be pretty upset if that happened to us, too.
