Pizza Delivery
I spent the first two years of my college life living in one of the largest dorms in the country. When you ordered a pizza, they wouldn't bring it to your room, they'd call you a few minutes ahead and meet you in the lobby.

The people above us were real jerks, bouncing basketballs at two in the morning, banging on the radiator pipes, harmless but annoying stuff. So one night we called them up.

Me: "Yeah, this is Domino's, we'll be there in five minutes."

Upstairs idiot: "We didn't order a pizza."

Me: "You didn't? Isn't this 321-1234? Oh man! My boss is going to kill me! I'm already 20 minutes behind and I can't try to track these people down. You want a large sausage and onion? Five bucks just to get it off my hands."

Upstairs Idiot: "Sure man, thanks!"

We just happened to be behind them on the stairs to watch the action.

Money in hand, one said to the other: "You know he's gonna try to charge us full price and say he didn't call us. Idiot!"

Sadly, no real Domino's guy showed up, would have been great though, watching them argue.

They did figure it out more quickly than we did when it was played on us a couple weeks earlier. They only waited five minutes, we were there for 20 waiting for our $5 pizza!
