It’s not unusual to order more just to reheat it the next day, especially if there’s extra delivery fee or a minimal amount you need to pay for them to deliver
Yeah, it’s definitely the ‘pretend you’re not alone’ part that’s pushing it into cringe territory, though even that shouldn’t be enough to even metaphorically bring a delivery peson to tears …
So you’re saying that the person in the meme did not order the pizza but wants to keep it and tries to accomplish that by pretending there are other people with them? I’m confused, why wouldn’t they just take it without saying anything? How would the delivery person know they are not the one who ordered?
What about the “I” in “I shout to the the empty house”? This would mean that the pizza guy refers to himself in first person in the first line but in the third person in the second line which seems very unusual to me.
Am I missing something? Empty house and pizza sounds like a perfect evening to me.
I thought this was a meme about the lady shouting to an empty house so that the delivery guy will think she has company, in case he’s a predator.
And the deliver guy knows exactly what’s going on and thus is hurt that she finds him threatening.
… Or I could be way off base because I didn’t find my explanation funny, just like ‘slice of life’ kinda post.
There’s probably a way more obvious explanation that I’m missing…
I assumed it was that she ordered a lot of pizza and doesn’t want to be judged for her choices, so she’s pretending it’s for a lot of people
That could make sense, but why does the delivery guy cry then?
He might be embarrassed for her in that scenario - but i cant imagine he’d be brought to tears.
Maybe she ordered more than reasonable for a single person … ?

Yeah, I think you might be onto something.
Though you have to be kinda self-cenetered to think that the delivery person would give a single damn about how much pizza you ordered…

The delivery guy probably gets to keep the pizza if there is no recipient

I interpreted both messages as said by the pizza guy
1-st one he says that Pizza’s here
2-nd one he realises that nobody’s there and that he will be able to eat the pizza
And the joke would be that he couldn’t afford the pizza with his very low wage so he sheds a tear of joy
That is the wrong interpretation though. It is the person in the house pretending to have friends when the pizza delivery guy arrives.
