[Closed] Making a complaint, serious or humorous?

I bought some Chicago Town mini pizzas today for the kids to have for supper, because i couldn't be arsed cooking.

I opened the box, took the pizzas out of the plastic wrapper and there was a fly sitting there clutching on to a piece of cheese, obviously knowing it was his last meal. Taken a picture and ready to email them.

Would a humorous complaint be a better way to go about this or should i give all guns blazing to what is frankly the biggest of all first world problems? Apart from buying said pizzas obviously 😆

Impress on them just how vegetarian you are* and make Jeff Goldblum references.

*Unless it was some kind of meat-feast.

I would go with the humorous side to start with then finish off the complaint with a serious side.

Best of both worlds 😀

Keep it light-hearted - if you just naff people off then they're less likely to respond favourably.

These things happen - even if you keep it light-hearted they will take the issue seriously and you'll get lots of vouchers to buy more pizza con blue-bottle.

Humorous all the way. You catch more flies with [s]pizza[/s] honey than vinegar.

I made a jokey complaint to Morrison's about their "Pepperoni Pile Up" that had the grand total of six slices of pepperoni.

Got a £5 voucher as an apology.

My Mother used to sprinkle dead flies on our food and tell us that she had found some currants and didnt want them to go to waste.

You [i]"couldn't be arsed cooking"[/i] but you can be arsed to take a photo of a fly, consult STW, write a complaint, wait for a reply and then (I hope) tell us all about it?

🙂

I got a free pizza when I tweeted a pic that showed literally every piece of pepperoni had been placed on the wedge that was visible through the cut-out in the box.

And no, I hadn't faked it.
