Jerks come in many shapes and forms. But heaven forbid that you give a jerk even the tiniest bit of authority or power because they’ll abuse it as much as they can. Not convinced? Take a look at how some delivery drivers act when they think that nobody is looking!
They eat your food. They sip your drinks. They lick your spoons. They leave your brand new TV and computer screen sitting on your porch for anyone passing by to take. And they stuff your new vinyl into your postbox, breaking it. Yup, they’re jerk delivery drivers, and whether they’re delivering food or things, you can bet your bottom dollar that they’re taking their road, not the high road.
We here at Bored Panda have compiled this entertaining list of delivery drivers acting like some of the biggest jerks in the entire world. Scroll down, upvote what you think are the worst examples of human behavior, and share this post with your friends, so that the next time some pizza toppings are missing, they know who ate them.

Looks Like I Won't Be Listening To My New Vinyl Record. Thanks, USPS
My First 4k TV Finally Arrived!
Now, the fact of the matter is, far from every delivery driver out there is a jerk. Most of them are decent people who do their duty; otherwise, the entire delivery system would collapse. Yet once in a while, people manage to take photos or film real jerks on the job who don’t respect anyone but themselves.

I’m A Carrier For USPS. I Ordered My Uniforms For The Year A Few Days Ago And This Is How They Arrived. So Is This Why We Have A Bad Rep?
Adam Lapetina writes on Thrillist what being a delivery driver is really like. According to him, it’s “one of the more underappreciated gigs in the service industry,” it’s fast-paced, and it can drive away those who can’t handle the pressure.

My Mailman Was The First To Congratulate Me
Delivery drivers have some perks. Depending on where you live, sometimes police officers avoid giving delivery drivers tickets for speeding if they’re rushing to get food to a ravenous customer. However, someone being hungry isn’t a good excuse to speed: it’s dangerous and puts everyone at risk. Not even pizza’s worth getting into an accident over.

The "Obstruction Of My Front Door" That Prevented UPS From Delivering My Package...
UPS Marked My Package As ‘Delivered’ After Dumping It In The Middle Of My Driveway. I Found It When Leaving For Work This Morning
Furthermore, delivery drivers tend to have a lot of ‘me’ time on their hands, which means getting to know yourself much, much better over the course of your day job. It sounds like the perfect gig if you’re feeling a bit lost in life and need to think things over while getting paid. Just remember to act in the same way you’d expect others to act with you. And don’t eat lick your customers’ spoons.

Postmates, Thank You For Sending A Lady To Deliver My Food Out Of A Dirty Baby Stroller
When I refused to take the food because she delivers it out of a dirty bag pushing a baby stroller with two kids she said "I don't give a f***". And after this all customer service refused to give me my money back

I don't understand why people keep ordering stuff when they are not home to accept the delivery, and then expect the delivery guy to figure something out. Either be home, get an alternative (deliver at pickup point? neighbors?) or provide a safe space to put the delivery. What do you want the delivery guy to do with a huge package and a tiny mailbox? He's not doctor Who, your mailbox is not the Tardis.
I don't know how it is in the US, but in my country sometimes couriers will not call you or send a message in advance, so you have no idea when they will be coming. I had this happen to me twice, the courier would call me when they're waiting at my door with no prior warning my package would be delivered that day. But if you're not at home they will never just leave your stuff outside, it gets taken to an office or you make arrangements for another delivery date.
FedEx, USPS and UPS all have services that you can sign up for for free to be notified when you will be getting a package delivery. It doesn't give you an exact time, but a day, and I also get delivered notifications. None of these carriers call in advance because that takes time (which equals money) away from their service, but at the very least as the buyer you can be aware if you need to make arrangements to be there or get someone to pick it up from your house if you can't be there right away.
True. I had something ordered online from Canada and had no idea when it will arrive. One day, the package with expensive cookbook was just jammed into my mailbox, and everyone could pick it up since it couldn't fit. Luckily, I arrived first and the book wasn't damaged thanks to great packaging.
Where I live most couriers won't call. Leaving the packages outside is standard procedure. Everyone does that. Rarely anything gets stolen. You only have to be careful during Christmas when apparently are drive-by package snatchers as they know lots of people order presents online x-(
I work form home, am here ALL DAY and I have a huge note on my door "Deliveries: I am here. Please Ring Bell". They still toss the package at or near the porch and drive on. I have to go check every half hours or so to see if a package was "delivered". Every Time. Ordered car parts that I needed last week. Got a text that they were delivered (no knock, no ringing of bell), and by the time I got to the door the box was gone. Checked my video - Amazon delivery threw the box on to the porch, and within 2 minutes a guy rode up on his bike, grabbed the box and stuffed it in his backpack. Hope he had a 1992 Volvo. Still fighting Amazon on this one - they say it was "Delivered".
Have a monitor so you can see them coming. I have found it invaluable.
So we should be home everyday to accept the mail? With a lot of packages in the US the final delivery is made by the United States Postal Service, even if they started with FedEx of UPS. I have a enclosed porch and a deck to the front of my house, and they will still leave packages in the driveway.
In my Country, that is the only choice. If you aren't home, a docket is placed in your mail box for you to pick up at the post office.
I order all the time, but with a full time job I don't have the luxury of being there when most of my packages are delivered. I do, however, have very good deliverers.
Can you get some things delivered to your work address? Just nosy.
Most services don't let you choose when to get your packages. It comes in 5-7 business days and you don't get the time of day it gets delivered. Most of the time, it's not really within the customer's control. Amazon lets you pick a delivery day (I'm not sure if that is specific to Prime), but most companies don't give you that kind of control.
Perhaps but these are all items that have been deliberately damaged or treated negligently.
Well..and with Whole Foods being in several cities, most Amazon packages can be delivered to a pick up box. As far as the people complaining about USPS ruining their packages...they only have so much room in that truck people. You want it safe..request it be held at your local post office and you go pick it up on Saturday when they are open!
I totally agree with you. Half of these people share some level of responsibility. I live on a corner house in a high crime, high traffic area. I mean Homeless people, drunks from the bar, a block up, stumbling by all day. I make sure to either have someone home or pay for a PMB(personal mail box) that accepts packages. I've had 3 boxes stolen in 7 years of living here. There's no excuse for the bent diplomas though that's just a jerk move.
I always have things delivered to my office. If I'm out there will be someone there to sign for it. There have been too many times where the delivery driver hasn't even tried to deliver my packages and put a note in my mailbox to go to the depot to pick it up. I have a long driveway and they don't want to bother to go up it.
I’m so thankful for the couriers and posties that have delivered my mail and packages. Whilst they are not perfect and people in those companies can do the same as what the USPS does at least the ones that do my area are decent. One thing for sure is I will never order Uber eats because there have been numerous reports of people taking bites or stealing customers orders.
I wonder how much it cost to send packages in the US and what the rules are. Over here (EU country) if it doesnt fit true the mailbox opening, it is treated as a package and the delivery person will ring the door. If youre not at home, they try some neighbors. If nobody is home, it will go to a pick-up point nearby.
In the US they don't try neighbors unless instructed, or if it's a small town and the carrier knows you and the neighbor.
