Did anyone ever work as a pizza delivery driver? Any good stories?

I did back in high school. I worked at an upscale gourmet pizza joint in an upper class area of DFW so I got to deliver to a lot of houses inhabited by pro athletes and millionaires. Made good money for a high school kid.
Anyone have any good stories or things that drove you nuts?
What drove me nuts is when someone would order a pizza then have their little 5 year old kid answer the door and pay for it so they could stiff me. They would use their kid as a prop to shield themselves from the negative effects of stiffing.
One good story though is we had a person who was really bad about trying to get stuff for free. They would always find something to complain about their pizza/food and attempt us to get them to comp it or give them free pizza in the future. This happened for a few weeks but eventually the owner(who was the awesomest guy in the world, middle eastern dude who didn't put up with crap from customers) got pissed off and figured them out and sent me and another guy over to their house to throw a box of tomatoes at it. The people thought we were going by to give them a new pizza(they claimed the pizza had all the cheese stuck to the lid of the box, which wasn't true) and instead we hit their house with tomatoes. Was awesome. I hated people who tried those shenanigans, making up BS to get free stuff.
Never got robbed or anything like that though.

Delivered a pizza to the last house on Frenchtown road once.
It was raining blood and there was a red aura surrounding the house.

There was a guy in my hometown that went to deliver a pizza in the projects. Once he got to the address, he was beaten, robbed, had his car stolen, and was left for dead.

I used to work at this place called Senor Pizza. The ladies were always ordering extra anchovies when I was working.

I delivered pizza for Domino's when they were the only pizza delivery store in town back in 1981. My manager was an uptight Jewish man and 3 of the drivers were Palestinian. It was like mixing oil and water. We would make 'crew pies' and always say that there is pork in there right before they eat. We drove like mad men all over LSU and the surrounding areas.

Nothing very interesting. The best is that I got to deliver to Deuce McAllister once. He was my favorite athlete growing up, so I was really nervous. I'm pretty sure I fricked up his change. He was pretty nice though.
I've heard some other stories about pro athletes either being assholes or just being fricked up. Probably nothing I should repeat.

The projects here in Baton Rouge was refered to as 'The Battlezone' which is the area from Highland Rd. north of LSU to the Interstate over to the interstate 110. We NEVER took an order from that area. It was too dangerous.

It's funny because I don't believe in anything supernatural, but I still get psyched out by that area. People swear they've seen things or felt a presence of evil.

I delivered to Howard 'Hi-C' Carter, Shaquille O'Neil. The most I delivered in one day was 142 pizzas. And that was not even the most for that day(182).

My first job outta HS was delivering pizzas for Mr Gattis on Gilbert Dr in Shreveport.
There was an apartment above a garage in a nice neighborhood. I delivered a pizza and a fine college aged girl answered the door in a towel and when she went to pay me, her towel fell off.
Fast forward a month or so, my brother started working there for the summer while he was home from LSU. I told him about it, and he delivers to the same place and the exact same thing happens.
I guess she was some kind of flasher/exhibitionist.
