I hate phones. I hate it when they ring, I hate answering them, I hate leaving mesages on them, and I hate calling people on them. I can’t wait for the damn things to become obsolete.
The feature set on them is so limited; it’s a joke. You can’t pick up a phone and search for the person you’re trying to call. If you dial the wrong number, you don’t get suggestions as to what you might have wanted. I’m sorry this is the wrong number, perhaps you were trying to reach John Smith at 555-555-5556, since he called you at 4:55pm yesterday. No one can remember telephone numbers. Why are we still using a number phone system based on different toned beeps? Can’t we come up with something better than this. And why do I have to have a number? I want to be Nicholas@Home. Call me there. I don’t even know my parents home phone number without looking it up.
I hate ordering pizza over the phone. In the next 10 years, pizza places are going to have to offer internet ordering just to stay competitive. Everytime I order pizza, the first thing they do when I call is put me on hold. WTF! Let me just go to a website, LOOK at pics and the menu, and order at my own speed.
Uh, phones suck. Okay, that’s the end of my rant for today.

Yea, but they don’t in my town. Dominos does though. Maybe I should switch from Pizza Hut to Dominos.

Papa Johns is king when they put the cheese on top and everything else underneath. But I will never call that guy Papa John - he’s only like 34 years old - what the frick yaw!

I love Papa Johns, but my wife doesn’t like the at all. I’ve heard Insane Robot isn’t a fan either.
Once, I tried ordering it with the cheese on top, but they completely acted like I was out of my mind. Then, they sent the pizza without the cheese on top.
I completely agree about the 34 year old calling himself Papa. That’s just wrong. I can’t believe they would show his face on the commercials.
My favorite pizza is still Benzi’s, a local joint that is above and beyond.

Cheese on top does make more sense, I never understood why pizza here has the cheese on the bottom…
I always disliked phones too, but at least when ordering pizza on the phone I’ll have the fun of seeing how they decided to spell my name on the box. Don’t think any gotten it right so far…

I ordered a pizza today from my local Pizza Hut. First, they immediately put me on hold, then they forget about me and left me on hold.
I had to hang up and call back, get put hold again, and THEN get to place an order only to be told there was an hour and 15 minute wait on deliveries. The actual delivery was somewhere closer to an hour and a half.
Besides that instance, I usually have good experiences with my local Pizza Hut, but I do wish they would let me order online.
