Jorge Larrionda Gilhaus: The Man Who Couldn't Stop Ordering Pizza




Picture this: Jorge Larrionda Gilhaus, a respectable businessman with a wife and two lovely children, had a peculiar weakness—pizza. It wasn't just that he loved the dough, cheese, and toppings; it was that he couldn't seem to control his urge to order it.

At first, it was just a weekly treat. But as the months went by, the frequency increased. Jorge found himself dialing the pizza hotline after every business meeting, late at night after the kids were asleep, and even during his morning shower. His wife, Maria, noticed the growing pile of pizza boxes in the kitchen and confront him about it.

  • "Jorge, this is getting out of hand," she pleaded.
  • "I can't afford to keep ordering pizza every day."
  • "And it's not healthy for you or the kids."

Jorge shrugged it off, assuring her it was just a phase. But the phase quickly turned into an obsession.

One day, while Jorge was at work, the phone rang. It was the pizza place, confirming his usual pepperoni and black olive order. However, this time, there was a mistake. Instead of one large pizza, the delivery boy arrived with three. Jorge tried to explain the error, but the boy insisted the receipt had three pizzas listed.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Jorge called Maria and confessed his addiction. Together, they devised a plan. Maria secretly emailed Jorge's workplace, asking his colleagues to help him curb his craving. And so, every time Jorge tried to order pizza, his colleagues would bombard him with "pizza denials."

"Sorry, Jorge, no pizza today!"

"Try a salad instead, Jorge!"

"Pizza? Nope! You're on a diet, Jorge!"

At first, Jorge was furious. But over time, he began to appreciate the support. With the help of his family and colleagues, Jorge Larrionda Gilhaus finally broke free from his pizza addiction, proving that even the most persistent cravings can be defeated with a little humor and determination.

To this day, Jorge Larrionda Gilhaus is known as "The Man Who Couldn't Stop Ordering Pizza." But he doesn't mind the title. After all, it's a testament to the power of love, friendship, and the occasional slice of pepperoni.
