Sure, all the hubbub is over Vonage users suing Vonage over their failed IPO and refusing to pay for their Vonage shares, but I have my own pending lawsuit against Vonage - and it's over my cold pizza.
Last night, I ordered a large sausage pizza from La Familia in Brookfield. I gave them my address and home phone number, which was a Norwalk exchange since I kept my Norwalk phone number when I moved to Brookfield. Apparently, the driver looked at the phone number (854-XXXX) and knew it wasn't a Brookfield exchange, so he thought it was a Newtown phone number, which coincidentally also has the exact street name as my house. So he drove on I-84 to exit 10 (20 min away from my house) and knocked on the door of some unsuspecting residents who told them they didn't order a pizza.
The delivery guy then called my house and asked where I lived. I told him the address and the town to which he responded, "Brookfield? You're in Brookfield? Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can."
I knew the pizza was going to be cold at this point and I hate cold pizza.
I won't even touch a cold pizza the next day. So I was pretty pissed that I was going to be paying for a cold pizza. So Vonage, my friend, expect to be served with another lawsuit in the next few days. If somebody can sue McDonalds over a hot coffee spilling, then surely I can sue over a cold pizza. It's downright un-American to eat a freshly made pizza, cold. Vonage, you will rue the day you made me eat a cold $17 pizza!

While I suppose this is a funny way to make light of Vonage's problems, I think the blame in this case lay squarely with your chosen purveyor of pizza pies.
Yeah, it was in jest. I don't hold Vonage legally liable for my cold pizza.
I already held the delivery guy responsible by giving him a $0.43 tip.
What I don't get is that lots of people give out their cell phone number which is often a different exchange area. Why the delivery guy would rely on a phone number exchange is beyond me. You'd think he'd call FIRST if he wasn't sure what town to deliver the pizza - not after travelling 7 miles in the wrong direction.
I don't get it either. Sounds like an exercise in bad customer service, something else that can relate back to Vonage.
Thats good.....are you sure that you are going to sue Vonage for a cold PIZZZAAA !!!!
When you gave address didn't he saked the town you live in ?
Yes, he repeated the town name after I said it while ordering. He just didn't write it very big on the yellow receipt tag attached to the pizza box. He actually used initials "BK" (Brookfield)in small print, but apparently the driver didn't see the BK either. Technically the initals should be BF not BK, yet another mistake. Maybe I should sue the pizzeria instead?
Hey at least it wasn't the 911 operator and firetrucks taking the same line of thought when you called because your pizza caught on fire in the oven b/c you were heating up your pizza and your oven caught on fire.
>>because your pizza caught on fire in the oven b/c you were heating up your pizza
Whatdya got a spy camera in my house? Actually I did heat my pizza up and nearly started a fire. Was too lazy to take out of the box and the cardboard was right at the point of ignition. It was only smoldering, but sure gave the pizza a nice smoky flavor. :B
>> Whatdya got a spy camera in my house?... Beware of Big Brother!!
I'm just happy to hear it was in fact a joke to sue Vonage. In my opinion people are too sue happy now days. Seems so many are looking for ways to receive monies by any means other than the old fashioned earned way.
