A man did this in London in 1810, but with everything - chimney sweeps, piano deliveries, priests, lawyers, coal carts, doctors, undertakers, the archbishop of Canterbury...

It brought the whole area to a standstill and the guy won a guinea in a bet and ran away to the countryside

Wow. So this was probably the first reflection/amplification ddos in history.

thanks for the link. I almost cried with laughter trying to picture it.

I really hope the order of events is the actual order they happened in because the escalation is perfect

When I was a kid I ordered a escort to our house for my stepfather.

My mom got home about ten minutes before she showed up and the fireworks started!

The next guy was a bit nicer.

What is that font? Makes me feel dyslexic.

[-] Omgarm@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

I doubt the pizza delivery guys care enough to linger around.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 32 points 4 months ago

They want their money, though. And I bet some of them were curious what this was all about.

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I mean, is this story set in the 90s? Where can you order pizza from today that:

  1. doesn't have caller ID (oh hey, the same number is calling again for the 12th time tonight)

  2. doesn't require payment up front

  3. Wouldn't notice that every sequential house on the same street had ordered

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It was specified that there were multiple pizza delivery services. Even so 1. requires the phone operator to notice, 2. was perfectly normal a few years ago and I know some places where it's still possible.
