The pandemic ushered in a new way to buy food. Nowadays, many people order dinner and groceries through apps instead of going out. In fact, 28.2% of Americans say they use food delivery apps at least once a week. Sometimes, delivery workers can pass for comedians with how witty they get when communicating with customers.

Bored Panda has found the funniest and weirdest interactions between delivery drivers and their customers, and we've put them here in one place for you to enjoy. Truly, who hasn't received a text from their delivery person that says they've been arrested or got a confirmation photo of their delivery with their kitty in it?

    Dasher Propositioned Myself And My Partner During And After A Delivery

    Text message exchange showing a funny conversation between a delivery driver and customer about order updates.

    This happened almost a year ago. This guy was weird from the jump. He showed up for the delivery shirtless, which I thought was odd. I had requested contactless delivery, but he insisted that I meet him downstairs. When I went downstairs to meet him, he said, “You’re so beautiful.” Mind you, I looked like absolute garbage, so this was odd in itself. I said, "Thank you," and "Thanks for the delivery," and started to head back inside. He stopped me and asked if I was single, and I said, “No, I’m hanging out with my partner; she’s just upstairs.”

    He then asked if my partner and I wanted any “company,” and I was completely thrown off. I said, “No thanks, but have a good night,” and basically ran back up the stairs. As I was telling my partner what happened, I received the texts.

    I immediately reached out to DoorDash, and their solution was that he would be blocked from delivering to me again during his review period. I seem to remember that the customer support specialist implied that his account could be removed, but I don’t have the messages anymore. Super weird stuff.

    This sort of thing happened with a Shipt (grocery delivery) driver I had a few times. He misunderstood when the app asked for a pic to confirm delivery and thought it was just for the app. He didn't realize his customers could see it, too, when he would take pics of the ground by his car just before driving to his destination, until I told him. To be fair to him, he still took a picture of the actually delivered order and sent it to the customers.

So I got this text about 20 minutes after I placed my order. This guy sounds a bit upset. I’m not sure what he means by me paying one dollar for the food to arrive?
