There are ten Canadians in the room. It’s been ten minutes since this situation developed. No one is mentioning it. The tension mounts.

Give them hockey sticks, violence will follow.
The size of that slice is a clear indicator not enough pizza was ordered.
Distract and grab it !
this one’s easy….start throwing away the boxes and just shove the remain piece in uR mouth will uR doing so
edit: would be a shame to just throw away perfectly good food
“Anyone else want the last slice?”
No? Good I’ll have it then.
Yes? Paper, scissors, rock you for it.
Edited to add ‘rock’
Take the last slice. Have everyone quietly resent you and slowly unite together over their shared hatred for you. That’s how my office works.
This is when you bring in the American
Tension?
They’ll just split it ten ways
More tense than the Cuban Missile Crisis in that room.
That looks like some kick ass pizza
I guess my Americaness would have me take the last slice without hesitation but I will always ask if everyone has had enough but damn I’ll ask quick lol
the tension *Mounties.
Panago pizza????
The last slice has to be sacrificed, just as the ritual requires
I would have eaten this 9 minutes ago.
Source: am American
Idgaf I’m taking the pizza. Also Canadian
This happens so much in Japan that they even have a phrase for it. 遠慮の塊 (enryo no katamari).
Wrap it in saranwrap and put it in the fridge. It will outlive the appliance.
Pro tip, when in this situation attempt to move gathering to other room or outside…go to bathroom after gathering has moved, eat pizza. Or, offer to tidy up, say loudly “everyone all done here?” guaranteed everyone will say no or you’ll be ignored, eat pizza.
Source, Canadian!
Just keep cutting that last piece in half until it’s just a sliver
Panago
That pizza looks really tasty. As an American. I will take it.
In Spain we call the last one “el de la vergüenza” (the shame one)
“10 Canadians are found starved to death after nobody wanted to take the last slice.”
I am Canadian and have found the polite solution.
– Start cleaning up the empty boxes
– Notice the lonely piece
– Make *sure* there is no pineapple on it
– Announce loudly “Oops! There’s still a piece left, does anybody want it? If you don’t I’ll *have* to eat it.”
– Offer to a few specific people and then “Sigh” and enjoy your reward.
This is easy. Just cut the slice in half, take a piece and leave the other. The next person who wants a slice cuts that in half and takes a piece, and so on. Zeno’s Paradox means infinite pizza.
The light goes out.
Suddenly a shriek.
The light comes back on.
There is the pizza.
A hand on the pizza.
And 9 forks in the hand.
In Singapore, we call this the “pai-seh piece”. Which translates literally to embarrassing/shy piece, because everyone is too polite (shy) to take it.
In Germany this is called “der Anstandsrest” (the decency remainder) and it will be left untouched until the next day.
In Finland this is called ” kursailu “. Happends before the first slice and the last slice.
The polite thing to do is to be selfish so nobody else has to shoulder the burden.
It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
The tension Mounties
10 bodies and y’all only ordered what, 2 mediums? SMH
The last slice is for whoever gets up to throw the boxes out.
Pfft. You need my grandma or mom in there to cut that piece in smaller and smaller halves, eating the other half but swearing they’re not hungry enough for the last half.
