Give them a house address within 10min distance and wait for them there

I've always wanted to try this. Stand outside some strangers house and say you were waiting for a mate who's coming for dinner!

What just hang out on someone's porch? That could be dangerous.

Maybe pick a house at the corner or better yet next to a bus stop?

Be sure to wear black and a balaclava because it might be cold out there 👍

I think the kids use machetes these days.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Am kid. Can confirm

Not all machetes are suitable for pizza though. Some are basically shaped like a pizza rocker with a handle, but others are too flat or have handles that restrict the pizza cutting motion. Those ones are fine for quartering a take-away chook but don't work well for pizza. It's really important to consider your preferred take-away style before choosing a machete.

I like the pointy end. Really good for getting stray food out of one's teeth.
