But what if all that¡¯s been described above is actually a living nightmare for someone?! That¡¯s right, for this man from Antwerp, Belgium, just the words 'pizza delivery', send chills down his spine.
It all started with an accidental box of pizza being delivered at his doorstep nine years ago.
The only issue is that it hasn¡¯t stopped since! Jean Van Landeghem, from Antwerp, has been receiving the orders at his home for nine years and he has never placed any of those orders.
When the doorbell rang for the first time nine years ago, Jean thought that it was a mix-up. "Suddenly, a pizza delivery man handed me a whole load of pizzas ¨C but I hadn¡¯t ordered anything," Jean recalled.
He assumed it was a simple delivery mix-up at first, he told Het Laatste Nieuws. But from that day onwards, the torrent of takeaways hasn¡¯t stopped. He says that the deliveries come from a wide variety of nearby fast food outlets.

On January 2019, 10 pizza delivery men showed up at his house. One of them was carrying 14 pizzas.
His life now runs around these unwanted deliveries. "I cannot sleep anymore. I start shaking every time I hear a scooter on the street. I live in fear that someone will come to drop off hot pizzas yet again," Jean said.
He says that he always turns the delivery drivers away, so he isn¡¯t being charged for the nuisance deliveries.
But, he says, apart from the constant irritation, he knows that money is being wasted on all these unwanted pizzas and kebabs.
¡°It costs them money and they have to throw the food away. On the day that 10 deliveries showed up, I did the math: it cost €450,¡± Jean said.
Jean is not alone in this pizza menace, One of his friends who lives in Flanders town about 15 miles away has also been receiving non-stop pizzas.
"Sometimes we both get them on the same day. When that happens, we warn each other to expect a delivery," he said. He thinks that the prankster knows them both.
Hard to believe that something as heavenly as Pizza can also turn into someone else's nightmare!
