Pizza Pandemonium

Okay, there won't be very many of these, but this will be a picture-less blog. However, for posterity (as are most of my posts) I had to get this story up.

After spending a week in bed with the flu, and eating various fast food, we decided to round out the week with pizza. Yay, PizzaHut online ordering. We enter in our order, and send it, at which point the pop-up window informs us that it will be delivered in 100 minutes. Yes, that is correct...100 minutes. So I call PizzaHut directly to confirm. Yup, there was a storm, therefore, it will be 100 minutes. And we cancel the order.

Alright Dominoes, your turn. Felix calls this time, and they only have a 40 minute wait. Groovy. We order, we wait.

After 40 minutes, we still have no pizza. At this point we start mulling over whether or not we should call and find out where the pizza is. And gratefully, the doorbell rings. Guess who?

PIZZA HUT. No, I'm not kidding. The poor deliver driver started taking out pizza out, when Felix informed him that we cancelled our order. You should have seen the look of pure dispair on the mans face. He said so far it was the second one that was cancelled that he tried to deliver. So we turned him away, and called Dominoes.

Dominoes was confused by our call because "Weren't you supposed to pick that up?" No, we are lazy people. Delivery...thank you very much. It took, them 10 minutes to find our pizza, but they offered to deliver it right away and give it to us for free. Awesome.

So about 20 minutes later, Dominoes shows up with the pizza. The order is wrong, but it was free, so we took it.

Lessons Learned:

1. If PizzaHut shows up at your door with pizza, buy it. Don't ask questions. Just buy it.
2. When your pizza hasn't shown up in the promised time, call right away. You might have a chance at it still be warm when it finally does arrive.
3. When you have been eating fast food for a week, nothing tastes good, not even free pizza.
4. Teach your children to cook early (even if it is scrambled eggs) so that when you are deathly ill, you don't have to resort to funding the fast food industry.
5. Teach your husband to cook. So that when you are deathly ill, you don't have to resort to funding the fast food industry.
