1.
"A drunk guy offering me his wife if I wanted her (I was 20 at the time and more than a little freaked out by the offer)"
2.
"I drove into a crime scene. A murder occurred and the police surrounded my vehicle forced me out, cuffed me, asked me what I was doing. I told them I was delivering a pizza. They told me I had to leave the area. Scary."
3.
"When I delivered pizza back in 2010 I delivered pizza to a pretty impressive igloo in a city park parking lot. The kids didn't actually tell us they were in an igloo because they thought we would think it was a prank, I was very confused when I pulled into an empty parking lot until five people came out of the snow in a billow of smoke."
4.
"I rang a doorbell on a rural property and two dogs came from out of nowhere (an Alsatian and a Doberman) and bounded toward me snarling. I couldn't think of anything else to do but lower the pizza box in front of me to block them. It worked as the dogs started sniffing at the box and lost interest in me. When the woman answered the door, she was startled to see the dogs out and said I was lucky."
5.
"My pizza shop would write Dp or DP on the ticket. These stood for either Diet Pepsi or Dr. Pepper. I would always get the 2 confused. Many times we drivers were in a hurry because of the rush or being short a driver. I grab a Diet Pepsi. I hand the order with the pops, Diet Pepsi, pizza and other to the guy at the door. There is a girl inside the room and she is angry and yelling because she wants a Dr. Pepper not a Diet Pepsi. I am closer to a convenience store than to my shop, so I tell the guy who answered the door that I will be back. I buy a Dr. Pepper out of my wallet and on the way back to the customer, I shake that pop for the entire trip back. I set the shaken pop on the guard rail outside the apartment door and I knock on the door. I hoof it back down the stairs to the ground floor and I am in the door way ready to leave the apartment building when the girl answers the door. The pop is well shaken. The girl is at the door way of her apartment at the top of the stairs. I am at the bottom of the stairs, in the door way leading outside. The girl wants to give me a tip. She is really apologetic. I keep telling her 'No. Don't worry about it.' She is insisting that I take the tip. The pop is shaken. It is going to explode when she opens it and I don't want to be anywhere around this when it does. I thank her anyway, refuse the tip, and I take off. I would have given a couple of dollars to see her face when she opened that pop."

"I delivered pizza for four years, it was an interesting job to say the least. Weirdest experience would have to be this: One night, I'm finishing up delivering, and I come across the last house. I walk up to the door, ring the bell and nobody answers. Mind you, I'm not late by any means. A few minutes pass and I return to my car and call the store to see if they can reach the residents. About 10 minutes have passed at this point, with no response from the folks who ordered. Just as my boss is telling me to leave, I look up. In the second story window is a completely naked man… just staring at me. Not one to shy away from weirdness, I wave (why not make it more awkward?). The man quickly disappeared and a minute later I am greeted by a terribly embarrassed, somewhat drunk, middle-aged man wearing a towel. He apologizes profusely, taking his pizza and leaving me with a nice tip."

"One day I had a delivery to a mobile home in a trailer park. I stood on the second of the 3 small steps in front of the door and knocked. He says, 'Watch out, there's an opossum under the stairs. Oh, sh**! It's on the stairs right behind you!!' I calmly turn around, certain he's pranking me, and see on the bottom stair… a ferret. 'That's not a opossum, that's a ferret.' 'Are you sure?' 'Umm… yeah.' At this point, the ferret saw the nice, warm room at the top of the stairs and RAN past me, past the guy, and into his living room. The guy SCREAMED! So, being my helpful self, ran in to catch the little bugger. I should probably mention here that I am a 5′0″ little girl, weighing around 90 pounds. I should also probably mention that ferrets run very fast, and that grown men have very high-pitched screams. I finally caught it, with the guy thanking me profusely, and took it back to work to find someone who wanted it."

"On a delivery, I once saw a woman parked on the side of the road in her car. She was looking through binoculars into someone else's house. (Husband cheating?)"
