Man Captures A Karen Lying Under His Truck To Make Him Carry The Fridge He Delivered Inside On Video And Goes Viral Online
They say it doesn’t cost you to be nice, but sometimes it really does when people try to take advantage of your generosity, so it is important to set your boundaries and not let others walk over you. At the same time, you shouldn’t be rude or unreasonable.
People who don’t want to be a pushover but can’t find the middle ground might become pushy and rude themselves. This delivery driver who calls himself thottyy.boyy on TikTok had to deal with a couple of women who many would call Karens and one of them just laid down in front of the car, not allowing him to go until he fulfilled her demand.

Thottyyboyy isn’t very active on social media but he couldn’t resist sharing a video on TikTok because the situation he caught on it was so ridiculous. It actually was so unusual it caught the attention of 26 million people.
The video shows a woman lying under a car just next to its front wheels holding a phone to her ear, not allowing the delivery man to leave. The man then shows another woman he sees through his windshield standing in place, preventing him from moving.
When the delivery guy says to the video that the woman lying on the ground wants him to run over her, she responds, “No, I just want you to put the refrigerator in the house.” She then continues, “We can’t lift that thing. We don’t even have a dolly.”
The woman was demanding for the delivery driver to carry in the fridge she ordered as she couldn’t do it herself

The driver explained that this was a drop-off delivery so it wasn’t his job to install the fridge

The man clears up what happened in a follow-up video explaining that he delivered a refrigerator to this woman’s house. His job was to drop it off, which he did, but the woman believed he was also there to remove the old fridge and replace it with the new one upstairs.
The refrigerator was big and it’s understandable that for two older women, it would be hard to drag it into their home and to install it by themselves. However, it wasn’t Thottyyboyy’s job, it’s not just a small favor he could do without preparation and it usually comes with a cost.
According to Home Advisor, some stores might include the installation cost in the price of the appliance, but if it’s not included, you may need to pay about $200 more for the service. It might be that the two women didn’t pay for the service or there wasn’t an option to ask for it as the driver was instructed to drop it off.

Eventually the driver managed to escape when he dragged the woman out from under his truck

When the man started heading towards his car and was planning on leaving, the woman got under his car and wasn’t moving, demanding that the fridge be installed. In the end, the delivery driver managed to pull the woman out from under his truck and leave.
People in the comments were quite concerned about the driver because they felt it was a hostage situation in which the driver wasn’t able to leave without running over the woman, which he obviously didn’t want. They believed the woman wasn’t doing this for the first time and is used to getting her way by throwing a tantrum.

Most people agreed that the delivery driver isn’t obliged to install appliances or even enter someone’s house, but there were some commenters who didn’t understand why the man wouldn’t help the women as they clearly weren’t capable of putting the refrigerator in its place by themselves.
Why do you think some people act like this? What would you have done differently in Thottyyboyy’s situation? Let us know your reactions in the comments!
People in the comments were concerned for the driver’s safety but also couldn’t take this seriously as the situation was quite absurd
Yeah, nah... delivery is one thing.... delivery plus instillation is another... delivery, instillation and removal of an old appliance is another too... the video won't load for me and I'm not creating an account to watch it, but I'll wager that the customer has an entitled attitude and accustomed to getting their way with or without tantrums. Glad the driver managed to get out of that situation without (apparently) too much drama.
Yea, I had to buy a new fridge a couple of months ago when my old one died, and I must have asked half a dozen times "this price includes the fridge, delivery, installation, and removal of the old fridge, right?" The woman I was on the phone with must have thought I was crazy, but better safe than sorry!
Load More Replies...Pay him, that's what they should have done. It would have all gone differently had their entitled egos got in the way. "C**p, can I give you $40 or 50 to bring it in?" And my man most likely would have said no problem. Even had he declined, he owes them nothing, especially with the attitude. Sad thing is a lot of people are like this, they expect the whole world to be at service to them yet won't bother to help anyone. 🤷
Exactly. And who was that old lady calling anyway? The cops??
Load More Replies...And they talk about entitled Millenials! Every time I have ordered an applicance, I have to pay extra for bringing it in & installing it. I have had them put it just inside the door, but they volunteered to do that.
An order for "delivery only" never includes installation or removal of the old appliance, that's always extra because the delivery guys need specific equipment - dolly & straps. Installation & removal generally takes TWO people - there are definite safety rules to be followed. Everyone saying "pay the guy 20 or 40 or 50 bucks? Hail no - moving TWO refrigerators in & out is gonna cost 100 at minimum. And the minute that dame laid down under the truck, I'd be calling the cops immediately.
The cost is one thing, the insurance is another. Even if they had proposed money, the driver wouldn't be insured and if anything goes wrong he would be responsible.
Load More Replies...Not suprised, a friend does deliveries for a company that has an extra fee if you want the appliance moved into the house and they say old ladies are the worst with this. So many don't want to pay the fee and then get offended when the delivery person won't carry it in anyway.
The way folks act nowadays blows my fckn mind. It's like the world lost it's collective s**t all at once. Saying no or declining a request should be enough to get your point across but now it just opens the door for a one sided argument. People will do damn near anything to get their way and then wonder why the other person flips out on them. No means no and that's all it's ever meant without discussion. Arguing with someone to get what you want just escalates the situation and starts fights that could have very easily been avoided.
I don't know about anyone else, but once you cross into demanding I do something not part of the job you will get nothing at all. I would have loaded the damned thing back on the truck and returned it to the vendor.
Load More Replies...I know this situation all to well as a former Lowes installation expert. The salesman try like hell to sell every extra they can on something like this. New water lines, delivery, installation charge, extension on warranties, just a laundry list of extras. So the woman believes she's gamed the system by bypassing the sales person and only at checkout does she ask about delivery. Cashier's send them to customer service, who have the same list of extras but they are not experienced in the ins and outs of the job. So they let her choose delivery only, tack on the 100 bucks give or take and tell her they ll let her know when yada yada. Meanwhile, the drivers are just that. Their experience is more traffic patterns and shortcuts. They excel at avoiding wrecks and can back a 26 ft box truck into a drive not fit for a go cart. They don't have a kit for replacing feral valves, feed lines receptacle covers or GFCIs. She wanted something for nothing.
TaskRabbit offers that service. Nice guy or not, he didn't have the equipment or the insurance to move that thing upstairs. And he had other delivery commitments. Nice guy? Tell her how to use her smartphone to hire someone. He should have called the police himself and let them drag her out, though. Putting hands on another person could be iffy.
Yeah, ol' Karen could have said he abused her.
Load More Replies...Installation cost extra and she wanted it for free. Why do people? 🤦🏻♀️
I’m sympathetic to the so called Karen after my last appliance delivery. What a fiasco! I paid for delivery of a dishwasher and removal of my old one, which had already been unhooked. So when I bought it, I made sure that delivery included bringing it upstairs and removing the old one that day. The installer was scheduled for the next day. But the delivery guy wanted to just drop on my doorstep. So I’m like, no, you have to bring it upstairs and take away the old one. He said he didn’t do that despite all these arrangements being on my invoice. I certainly wasn’t going to allow him to just leave it and yes, it was his problem to solve. I had to get very emphatic with him and made him call his boss to work it out. Lo and behold, he was supposed to bring it upstairs and remove the old one. I’m sure he considered me a Karen but I don’t care.
The difference is you *paid* for these services. They did not. They were grifting for freebies.
