Agreed.
Just a few notes on why being a pizza delivery guy can suck after a while:
- You're driving in all kinds of conditions. Rain, snow, when it's dark, when it's blazing hot, etc. and if your boss is an asshole, he'll threaten to fire you if you refuse to deliver in a superstorm.
- You're on your customer's turf and if you have to deliver to a bad part of town - at night - you're pretty much risking your neck.
- People will tip a waitress/waiter more for walking back and forth with their pizza, than they will a driver who uses their own car/gas. If you deliver part time, you'll pretty much be spending a better deal of what you make on repairs; and if you get into an accident while on delivery, your insurance isn't going to cover you.
It was definitely fun at times, though - I loved driving faster than usual (and getting leniency for it =P), playing my music, having some small talk here and there with the nicer customers, and I had fun messing around with my coworkers in the kitchen/getting free pizza when my boss wasn't in asshole-mode. Still, once I quit, that smell took over a week to get out of my car.

I've only ordered pizza a couple of times. The last time, I absolutely did not tip. I almost refused to pay - the pizza arrived over an hour after it was ordered, stone cold.

So I apparently really stumbled into an error on this forum software? Hm. I wonder what caused it. I thought all the pages would generate the content from one central database which contains the posts, so when the post appears on one page, it appears on all.
On the other hand: I have no idea how forum software, especially SMF, works.

I have no means to find out what happened; I imagine that there are multiple indexes for different purposes, and that one of them got out of step because of an error somewhere. However, as there were only a handful of errors after several years of the test routine not being run (I didn't even know it was there until I decided to look today), I guess the error is not easy to trigger.

We had one driver who would sometimes get high on the job and take an hour to deliver an order. Maybe your guy was high? :-D
