Join the Fun!

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job Took a big pizza order to a college dorm. It was like just under $200. When I go there I knew the code to get in because I had been a dorm head in the same building a few years earlier and there was one door with a code instead of swipe card.

I knew exactly where the room was so I knocked and the guy opened it and said "hold on" and closed the door. I heard an alarming amount of movement in the tiny dorm. And about 2 minutes later they opened the door with no lights on. In the dorm was around 15 dudes all in cloaks and holding lightsabers. One addressed me as Master Jedi of the zaa technique. I was laughing so hard I almost dropped their drinks. They tipped like 100 bucks and said I could join their club anytime.

It was amazing.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job I once had a delivery for 10 bacon cheeseburgers, but literally just as I parked in front of the address Skipthedishes called me and said the order had been cancelled. However the guy at the delivery address was sitting on his porch and saw me and he just goes "Skipthedishes?" so I say "yeah but they let me know the order's cancelled". He says "yeah you're the fifth delivery I've had, but this is the first time it's been cancelled."

Turns out he had gotten into a disagreement with a woman down the block and her way of getting back at him was by setting up a fake account for him and just delivery bombing him with ridiculous food orders (this was pre-pandemic when choosing cash payment was still allowed, so she didn't have to pay anything up front to do this). Skipthedishes must've been in the process of blocking the account just as I pulled up.

Anyway he and I laugh at how petty the whole thing is and then I accept my next order and start heading to the next restaurant. Except I am now in possession of 10 bacon cheeseburgers (good burgers too, if you've ever had a burger from 5 guys & fries they were very similar to that).

Anyway I eat one, but obviously I can't eat 10 burgers so for the rest of my shift I got to be a hero by giving the gift of burger. Each time I would go to a restaurant to pick up my order I would give the restaurant worker a free meal. I also counter-offered burger to a homeless person that came up to my car to ask for money; he seemed surprised but he accepted.

Eventually once I was onto my last delivery at Montana's I still had 2 burgers left so I gave them to a server working there and she just kinda melted, like she was seriously so touched, it was adorable. She was like "really?.. you're just gonna give me free bacon cheeseburgers? Oh my god thank you so much." I think she must've been due for meal break or something cause it was so sincere.

More than one restaurant worker insisted on giving me something in return so I ended up with a stash of drinks in my car by the end.

The name is the anonymous username. And I would definitely understand if a homeless person refused to take food -- I wouldn't put it past some sicko to try to poison them. In my city there is a camp that people have tried to burn down multiple times, and will slash their tents. Like it's not hard enough surviving in +90F with no AC or indoor plumbing.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job I delivered a pizza to a sketchy house. The guy who answered looked like a typical Alan Moore style weirdo. He asked if I liked cats. I said yes, ready to be murdered. He pulled out a baby bengal cat that literally had 6-8 toes PER PAW. It's feet were so big with toes that it kind of looked like lynx feet. 10/10.

Also one time I got hit by a car right outside the house I was delivering to. My customer-first dumb ass still knocked on their door, scraped and bleeding, crying my eyes out, apologizing that their pizza got crushed as I fell down the hill. The lady said, "The pizza is not my concern right now." And I was like ??? I learned a very valuable lesson. You can care too much about customer service. 2/10.

I get to this one house with a steep driveway way with no way I could drive up. I tried multiple ways to walk up the driveway and even on the grass but would only make it a few feet. So I call the customer and explain the issue and they come out with a rope and I tie the pizza bag to it. So they pull it up the driveway take the pizza and put the cash in the bag with a nice tip.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job I work for UberEats on top of my part time job. About two months ago, I was dropping off a Chick-fil-A order to a house not too far away from where I live. It was a pretty standard meet at door delivery. As soon as I pull up to the house, I hear my customer yelling "Nala, no!" This giant pitt bull, who I can only assume was Nala, comes barreling towards me as I'm taking the food out of the delivery bag in the backseat of my car. I thought the dog was just coming to say hello to me, and I like dogs, so I didn't really mind. My own dog is excitable, too. But no. This giant dog leaps into the backseat of my car, looking around, jumping, doing all sorts of dog stuff. The customer and I spent the next few minutes coaxing the dog out of my backseat. He apologized profusely and increased the tip in app. I wasn't mad about it, it's my favorite delivery story to tell by far.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job This is one of my favorite random interactions from my time as a delivery driver for a Japanese restuarant.

I was sent to this house with an order of a steak hibachi and a couple of sushi rolls that added up to something like $19.60. I liked to call before I got to a place, just to give people a bit of a head's up, so by the time I got to the door it was already open. In the doorway stood a chubby kid, about 9 or 10 years old that reminded me a lot of the kid from Bad Santa, but without the curly hair.

I tell him the total as I pass off his food. He hands me a $20 bill and with a straight face he smugly says, "Keep the change, pal." Immediately after, he closes the door and I stood there for a second trying to process what just happened. When I got back to my car I noticed the time and realized it was way too early for that kid to be home from school. I couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation.

I wasn't even mad at getting a 40 cent tip because this kid probably faked being sick so he could stay from school and was probably in there watching TV or playing video games while eating sushi and feeling like a big shot. I know I would've at that age.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job I am a door dash driver, and ill never forget my weirdest drop off experience. It was a couple pizzas from Little Caesar’s, and it was in a location I’d never been before. I get there, and it is this sketchy ass rundown apartment building. It was dark outside and I was a single woman, so I was already on edge. The apartment I had to go to was in the basement of this building - oh great. So I get down there, and I knock on the door and I hear music from inside, death metal music. This guy opens the door and I can see into the dimly lit apartment, and seated on the ground is 5-6 people all sitting cross cross apple sauce in a circle, and they ALL turned to look at me when he opened the door. No one had eyebrows. NONE OF THEM. Not even the guy that opened the door. Needless to say, I swiftly gave him the pizzas and speed-walked back to my car. I don’t know what in the hell was going on in there, but I was not about to be part of it!!!

I thought something was wrong with the food, no, he called to thank me for delivering his food, cool, no problem, dude. Then my phone rings again, same number, and I ignored it, so he calls again, ignore. Dude calls AGAIN so I finally answer and he asked if he could have my number for future orders and I told him I didn’t think that would be appropriate and ended the call. I did a couple more deliveries after his and when I finally got home I get on Facebook and this dude tracked me down and sent me a friend request. F**king creepy. Deny. Block. Reported to Uber.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job About 10 years ago I was a driver for a certain red shirted a**hat's chain. On one of my shifts I get an order for one of our regulars I had never delivered to yet. Part of his order is a cinnamon bread thing with frosting, he orders it with EXTRA frosting. So I make up the order and after I add extra frosting, my best friend that also worked there saw the food and was like NO DUDE, when that dude says extra he means absolutely bury that thing in frosting. So I drive to the address and the guy invites me in and has a quick conversation and I mention that a coworker straight up saved me because I didn't realize how much frosting he wanted. Mind you this guy is probably a solid 350, no judgement just an observation, he's also probably the nicest man on earth. Anyway he says "oh yeah the missus likes it that way" I'm thinking he's referring to his wife. Nope, the man opens the box puts in on the floor and exclaims " Here's your food fatass" I'm like oh no I want out of here before the missus comes out. Instead the until now unnoticed absolute unit of a cat appears and demolishes this thing. This cat was an easy 50lbs, by far the fattest cat I have or probably will ever see. Totally caught me off guard. The guy tipped me like $20 and I was on my way.

29 Of The Weirdest And Wildest Things Seen By Food Delivery Drivers On The Job I delivered pizzas for years. There was this one house that I just dreaded going to. It was a tiny little house, and they had a tiny little dog, and the dog s**t all over the floor. It was just everywhere. The woman who lived there was absolutely nuts. She shouted at the kid on the phone who took her order, she shouted at me, and I'd hand her the pizza and she'd shout that I probably f**ked it up. It'd be right and she'd say "well, okay then" and she'd give me a $15 tip.

Come to find out, I was the only one who would go there. None of the other pizza places in town would deliver to her, and none of the other people at my Hungry Howies would deliver there.

That's when I learned that my price for allowing myself to be shouted at was $15.

After I had been there a year, she stopped calling. Then the house was bulldozed. Now there's a pizza place where she used to live. And it's s**tty.
