You actually lived out one of my fantasies there. I have always had this thing about delivering a pizza or the post and...... It was a pretty cool job. You were by yourself most of the time, so you didn't have a boss complaining at you or anything. It was like a puzzle, finding the fastest route from A to B. I had a really large, old, and nutsty car, though. Between repairs and gas, I don't think I made that much money.

You do make it sound pretty kool spitzig. Wohoo. Puzzles for me.
A lot of our pizza delivery people have a lucrative little sideline of drug dealing so I can imagine the wages musn't be too good..not that we order much pizza.
Shane,did you mean to say ambition? Or am I being naive? Is it really a fantasy?...Like...naked pizza people? I'm confused...

I had my post altered again. A "nutsty" car doesn't really make sense. I meant the car didn't work well. Drug dealing pays better than most jobs. At least if you have more than a few clients. The problem with it is the risks that go along with it. Also, the social circles you need to be in to get the clients and the merchandise, you might not like so much either. I don't know much about it, though. One of our drivers was offered some leftover cocaine as a tip, when he delivered to this one bar, though(he turned it down). It was a really redneck bar. When I delivered a pizza there, they were nice. Got a decent tip, but no offer of cocaine. I'd have turned it down, too, though. I had friends who probably would've liked it. I'd be too paranoid about being pulled over, though. I'm guessing his fantasy was to deliver a pizza to a girl who'd just made a bet that she wouldn't have sex with a guy and a girl. And, they are JUST missing the guy. I think stuff like that is pretty common in pornos. Or, it is in things that make fun of pornos, anyway.

Let me tell you Inky, I definitely meant fantasy! Don't laugh. I think I'll have to get my doctor to up my medication.
Speaking about pizza delivery boys having a sideline in drug dealing, I had a nasty run in with one a few months ago. I pulled into our local gasolene station and I literally kissed a car that was parked there.
The driver got out and I got out of my car. We looked at the damage. There was the tinest scrape. He left the scene after agreeing to get the work done without putting it through my insurance. He rushed away because he was a pizza delivery man.
I got a call from him that night saying that the scrape was too big to polish out and as it was a brand new car it had to go into a recommended dealer and I would have to claim for it on my insurance. All this was fine by me.
A week later I got a letter from this man's solicitor stating that his client was suing me for personal injuries, loss of earnings and for the damage caused to his car. I couldn't believe it.
My insurance company phoned me to get my side of the story. I told them everything and they are going to contest his claim.

Oh no! Personal injuries my arse! What an idiot. I'm sure everything will turn out fine Shane. They should have CCTV evidence at the petrol station if need be. And yes,more medication for you.. lots more lol. No,er,wonderful fantasy. But to be fair,without ruining your hopes, the bet seems a bit unlikely -pizza guys aren't known to be universally attractive.( i'm sure Spitzig was an admirable exception) Also does that means nobody actually bothers to eat the pizza,cos they're all so busy having sex? Ah,what a waste
Umm..I'm kind of ashamed to say I have actually tried coke Spitzig. Out of curiosity. If there was ever a legal drug to combat shyness,that would most certainly be it.. but it clearly messes you up far too much to be worth it. And too risky
Lots of cabbies have a similar little sideline btw. Cabbies and pizza people...they all work at night I guess. Must be minted.

We have a mad compensation culture over here. I've tried snorting coke as well Inky. I didn't like the way the brown bubbles came down my nose.

brown bubbles? Ew! I got these horrible tasting drips at the back of my throat. But it was such a wicked experience..like stepping into someone elses shoes. I think it almost made me a bit arrogant,which was kind of a nice feeling. I don't want to ruin my life though,so I'll be steering clear of it...mostly. No definitely.

The guy who told me about what it was like said it was like Comfortably Numb. It made him want to sit and home all day and watch TV. Work at night, and drive all over town. Lots of people probably try to avoid driving with drugs(especially while stoned). I am paranoid, anyway, and like to stay paranoid. Pretty safe if you get pulled over with a pizza in the passenger seat. I was pulled over for accidentally going the wrong way up a highway ramp at the end of the night. Didn't even get a ticket.
