#36 It Ends Well
I was working a morning shift. Around 10:30 AM, I got a delivery to an apartment. Everything seemed legit since it was day time and there were lots of people close by. I knocked on the door and after 30 seconds or so, the door opened a few inches. The guy remained behind the door, so I only saw his face.
I still didn’t think it was weird because people sometimes do that when they’re trying to restrain a dog. He asked me to put the pizza on the stove behind him, and he moved back so I could see where the stove was. I hesitated a second and decided not to do it. I told him I couldn’t enter homes but that I didn’t mind waiting until he was ready to take the pizza.
He asked again, saying “It’s RIGHT there,” so I gave the same answer, really apologetic. Something wasn’t feeling right—I realized later how quiet it was; it didn’t sound like there was an excited dog back there. So he opened the door wide open and was completely naked. And this guy was at least 60 years old and like, six feet tall.
I tried to hand him the pizza and gave him the total, averting my eyes the whole time. He wouldn’t give me the money. He kept asking me to repeat the total and moved into my line of vision. I just took a step back and looked straight up. Eventually, he gave me $25 and I got out of there. The next day, he ordered another pizza. When the driver got back, he said he had to wait at least two minutes and when the guy answered he was only wearing sweatpants. He was sure he would do it again to a girl driver, so the guy got blacklisted.
