As long as it is paid for I would not mind. I can't eat gluten, maybe they could switch to gluten free pizza or sushi?

There are constant discussions on online security on HN, but do not forget that accepting and eating food that way is a big security risk for your actual health.

It's basically like knocking on a door at random and asking the person who opens it to eat something you're giving them... Accepting sounds like playing Russian roulette.

It depends on your threat model. Unless you think someone wants to kill you, the risk is so low that it makes sense to take it and get a free pizza

"this risk is so low" is a leap of faith because you have no clue about that unless it happens to you all the time (where do you live??). It is playing Russian roulette by betting that the risk is low...

yeah all those calories are a security nightmare

But kidding aside. I don't understand this guys problem. If it would annoy me then I would put up a sign that explains the problem and states that I don't take any food deliveries.

If I move into a new place I actually disconnect the door bell. Friends call by phone if they come and I receive my mail by a mail service. Somebody ringing my door bell can't be a good thing.

Could be the fire department telling you that the house next door is burning down?

I guess that's not a good thing, though.

Well could be. Could also be some Jehovah Witness, beggers, Gypsies, tax collectors or whatever.

Would have actually prevented the guys problem in the first place. Nobody knows where he lives...

Wow, lots of generalisation in one single comment.
