40 DoorDash Drivers Spill The Funniest, Weirdest, And Craziest Encounters They’ve Had With A Client
If it wasn’t for Doordash drivers, the pandemic would have taken its toll on us already. But they brought us comfort in the form of food that basically tucked us in like a blanket in the midst of global chaos. They’d also be the ones we have to thank for all the survived hangovers and Monday blues, spontaneous munches, dinner dates at home, you name it.
But while serving the hungry souls of America, Doordash heroes surely have seen all kinds of characters, from KFC Karens to hungry weirdos and customized delivery nerds. There is even a whole subreddit “DoorDash Drivers” which is not only a place where drivers hang out and get to know one another, but also share their adventures on duty. And trust me, it’s a whole world we didn’t even know existed!
Scroll down below to feast on some of their most memorable client stories delivered fresh to the comfort of your laptop.

One Of My Favorite Customers To Deliver To And They Tip Well
“Your time. Your goals. You're the boss,” says DoorDash on their hiring page. Available in over 7,000 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, DoorDash claims to be all “about connecting people with possibilities: bigger savings accounts, wider nets, stronger communities, and happier days.”
According to DoorDash’s official requirement, all you need to be their delivery driver is a mode of transportation, a valid driver's license, proof of insurance (if you'll be using a car), and a smartphone since you'll be using the app to accept orders. It does indeed sound like a very appealing job, but is it really that simple and easy?
My Bad Bruh
She Asked To Text Her When The Food Is At Her Doorstep, But I Was Starting To Feel Tired And This Was The First Thing I Thought About
This Customer Made My Day!! I Was Just About To Snap The Picture Of The Food On The Doorstep When He Opened The Door And Said, “Wait A Second!” And Posed For It!!
Well, if you look at the company’s Indeed rating of 3.2 and a slightly higher GlassDoor rating of 3.9, it looks, if anything, mediocre. Mashed has recently looked into the insides of working as a DoorDasher in this piece, and found that Dashers themselves are not that happy. They claim that pay is low, management is terrible, customers are a PITA, and job security is zilch. The general consensus is that it is fine as “temporary part-time side gig,” but that's all you get.
And when it comes to customers, DoorDash is notorious for the lumps of money they charge them. One Los Angeles Yelper described her experience, "I ordered from one of my favorite restaurants and they [DoorDash] charged me about $18.00 in fees. I ended up paying $43.00 for 2 tacos, 2 burritos and a chicken soup. They will rip you off with their fees... It's just not worth it unless you are starving with no way to get food. I will never use DoorDash again!"
Aww
Driver Couldn't Find My Address. Had To Light The Beacon
First Comment From New Door Dash Update
I wouldn't care if Ryan was 3 owls in a raincoat as long as the food was hot and quick getting to me.
How Now Brown Cow
This Was So Cute To Me This Morning
Order: Tuna (in pouch, NOT can), Pint of Cream, String.

Maybe this cat is more health conscious than yours. lol

Yeah, the cat will protect the food. "Get in my stomach where you'll be safe!"
Clearly the customer has been turned into cat and he’s hungry for human food
"Hand to customer." Got it, I hope the cat enjoys their McDonalds!
The Homeowner Ran Out To My Car And Escorted Me Up To The Front Door Before Guarding The Food
Had A Heart To Heart With A Customer
Best Customer I’ve Ever Delivered For
Can Always Count On “Big Bro”
I'm Weak. I Love Doordashing

Funniest Thing That Ever Happened To Me. I Thought This Was Fake News
How Do You Even Respond To This?
Finally, someone with enough sense to warn Others that they currently have the virus!
My First Fun Customer.. Only Took 600 Deliveries
The "monthly gift"...the gift that keeps on giving, until menopause, and that's a WHOLE other kind of gift.
So I Was On A Dash Today And This Happened. Well At Least They Admit They Are A Dashaholic
I Discretely Delivered A Pregnancy Test And Got My First Customer Compliment. 2021 Is A Trip!
The Dasher’s discretion probably saved this woman a lot of grief. She might be a teenager living with her parents, or the wife of a controlling husband who is planning to leave and get a divorce and doesn’t want to complicate that by having a baby that will tie her to him forever. TBH, I wish more people were more discreet, able to keep their mouths shut. It feels like we’re all—-or at least I am—-in a TMI Overload sometimes. There are things, not life-threatening but way too personal or just icky, that other people really just don’t want to know. Let’s try to rein in the oversharing, OK?
Just Dropped Off Some Zaxby’s And I Was Already Super Happy About His $6 Tip + Peak Pay Since It Was 1.5 Miles Away. But Then He Handed Me This. I’m Shaking Right Now
Got This Message While Dashing. Thought It Was Funny
2022 Is Off To A Great Start
Poor Girl Going Through It All Rn 😭
I Posted About This Guy Months Ago But He’s Added More Details Now

I Did, In Fact, Have Tacos
So Yesterday I Was Tipped An Almost New Mini Fridge..what’s The Weirdest “Tip” You Guys Ever Got?
I got a taxidermed fox as a tip once 😂 not waitressing but my old stripper days
I Laughed Out Loud At This One
That's a rate moment there. The restaurants try to hold off orders until driver assigns and with all covid cases there are not enough drivers. Hats off to the ppl at the restaurant and the driver too
Best Door Mat Of All Time. Definitely Made My Night And She Tipped 👍
It’s The Small Things

At Least He Was Nice About The Situation
Just Was Tipped A Dinosaur

You don’t have to ring the doorbell at my house. It’ll start barking the millisecond it hears your car in the driveway.
Mcdonald’s Changed The Seal On Their Bags To Spread The Word About Getting Vaccinated, Here’s How That’s Going
That is one customer I would have DD blackball. No one should have to put up with that kind of treatment—-especially for something they have zero control over.
Glad To See Some Appreciation Lmao
Slightly Worried That I Helped Cover Up A Murder
Which One Of You Did This?
These People Tipped More Than The People With A Bentley In Their Driveway
It's the same all over the world. The more people own, the more stingy and greedy they become.
I’m Scared
Don't mind the darkness or scratching sounds...come on in. I'm waiting.
It Feels Like Customers Do Their Absolute Best To Not Get Their Food
Renovations are fine but at least put up a sign telling people where they can find the frontdoor.
Customers Like This Make Dashing Easier
You know from this that there are way too many people who are actually just this way!
After 594 Deliveries, I Was Excited To Get My First “Quote From Customer”
Does...does He Want To Sleep? Or Not?
"Leave It At Door" Nope
Yeahhhh... I'm just gonna throw it out my window and roll on, thanks.
Just A Slight Misunderstanding
Funniest Thing I’ve Seen In A Long Time On Doordash App
No Kisses Allowed

Thankful For This. Got To Take My 2 And 3 Year Old To See Boss Baby Today Because Of This
Working On A College Campus Has Its Humorous Perks Sometimes Lol
No Gate Code, No Problem!
Mhmm Im So Hungry
Don’t Know You Guys I Have 1hr To Decide. What Should I Do?
Delivered A "Leave At Door" Order To A Cemetery. Customer Was Non-Responsive & Support Said To Leave It In A Safe Place. I Figured At The Feet Of Our Lord And Savior Would Suffice
I mean, he hasn't eaten in 3 days. pretty good cell service for a tomb with a boulder in front it.
These Instructions
Despite the hyperbole there’s a nasty undercurrent of domestic violence here 🤔
I Guess They Needed To Let Me Know? It Was A Leave At The Door Order
Broke Ninjas Be Quiet
Who Has The Sauce ?
I was dashing with my wife and she was like hey my friend Marissa used to live here.
Bro Why U Keep Shouting At Me
Hahahah small world, this person is in my town. Street names and vehicle description are my neighbors... Why do I get so excited over knowing a random poster???
Hopefully The Customer Has A Big Enough Driveway For Me To Land My Plane
They Tipped Me 25¢. Yeah, You Can't Afford A Kid
And their kids would be preconditioned not to tip well, either…It’s a vicious cycle!
Omg Lol She Is A Chickenologist
I'd want to return the food too if it was "an edible", but I'm sure some people would be very, very happy to get it. 😉
That’s What I Thought, Scammer
Image the things you can accomplish. Especially when you go to the door,and look down. 😠
What Are The Odds Of This?? Same Restaurant, Same Order Time, Two Different People
We all already know that JR is dead. [TV show reference for those of you who weren’t alive at that long ago time.]
So You're Telling Me You Vape
It’s not very fair that doordashers have to sell their soul to make a sufficient amount of money.

in Europe nothing gets delivered if you don't open the door, or at least talk to the delivery guy before and arrange for a neighbor to get your stuff. And...I personally like is this way.
They have started to do it lately in Belgium. I had a few items delivered in the last months where I am a few m from the door and when I open the car is already gone. Intried complaining about it but its really difficult. I hate it.
