This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How exactly didnthe pizza restaurant find out about his accident and what room he was in?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

My guess is small town. Accidents aren't an everyday occurance, when one happens word gets around. Drivers or staff could be friends with first responders or even be first responders if they are volunteer firefighters (I know someone who ended up responding when their ex went in the ditch and got a DUI).

Or maybe a driver drove past the wreck and recognized the car.

I mean, obviously fake and extremely gay, but there's some minor mental gymnastics that could make it work.

First, we know that anon is one of those assholes that thinks paying big tips to wage slaves means that the kind of fuckery he's doing is okay. We also know he's the sort to brag about it, since the post exists.

Which also means that he would be the sort to brag about it to coworkers.

Now the gymnastics. If said coworkers didn't hear that kind of stupidity and reject the moron based on that, and if he also said where he was ordering from, there's a chance one or more coworkers might think that ordering his favorite pizza would not only be a good idea, but order it from the same place he does, and be fool enough to think the workers there would not be throwing a party that the dick was out of their hair for a while.

Now, since coworkers were aware of the room number, we also have to assume that there was a reason for that. The obvious one is that any asshole pulling that crap likely had nobody in their life close enough to either tell them they were being a prick, or serve as emergency contact, so he listed his employer or coworkers.

There could have been a card for the business he works at in his wallet, and the hospital reached out to see if theyhad an emergency contact for him. Or, a well meaning family member called his employer and notified them.

Mind you, all of this is just as fake as anon.

However, the one realistic part is a bunch of folks hearing that a regular had trouble sending a nice card. I've seen that happen a lot over the years

Anon has them listed as emergency contacts for quick access

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

Thanks to the unlikely union of healthcare and fastfood joint workers as two sides of the same machine.

But realistically:

No orders on friday.

Check into hospitals if he finally got it from eating Pizza Hut special (tm).

Call him uncle Sammy, say he is demented and weird about american shenanigans and tips everyone uncontrollably.

They got me the guy.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is quite a common occurrence for regulars who order delivery like pizzas often enough for the staff to take notice and even get on a first name basis with the delivery driver. If they expect an order for a large mushroom and sausage to come in every Friday at 7pm sharp and it's not there, someone usually checks on them just to make sure they are okay.

His name? Albert Einstein.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

There's the chuckle I was hoping for

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Fake: other people like anon

Gay: those other people are men

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Obviously fake, as what they sell at Pizza Hut does not qualify as pizza

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Deep dish pizza hut pizza, chilled and then reheated in an oven, is so good. All that grease crisps up the outside of the crust, it's amazing. Not good fresh, only reheated.

And if you think of it as cost per calorie, not a bad deal, one slice probably enough calories for a whole day.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 3 points 3 days ago

My roommate once introduced me to the world of pizza hut bakes. Back then, you could get an entire tray of the alfredo chicken for the price of a happy meal, and we ate off of it for days.

hardtack with cheese going by some of the pizza hut "pizzas" I've had recently.

clack clack

anon is a military fan, we get it, comraderie is great, america locks it behind a ~~paywall~~ military camp to get people to sign up.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

I think bro bought pizza from the riddler

[–] derry@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At first I thought, cool, give challenges to earn extra tip. Then it clicked, dick move, give the extra tip or don't. Working people are busy and don't need to behave like a trained animal just because you jangle a reward in front of them.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Work is drudgery. Working fast food even more so. This is a little bit of novelty in an otherwise monotonous day... I'd probably do the "challenge" regardless of the tip just to have something different.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Same here, I worked in a Japanese restaurant. Sometimes kids would come in and I'd make them easy use chopsticks with rubber bands and tissues. Any sort of novelty that helps you escape the monotony is welcome

[–] one5low7@lemmy.org 4 points 3 days ago

just like our fore fathers intended

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

Ha ha, I've had people do something similar to me, not quite, asking me math questions, they thought I was a dumbass.

[–] one5low7@lemmy.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

we put a plaque at a bar stool for a guy, and no cstomer is allowed to sit there, the regulars dont even try

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Weird thing to do in Canada tbh
