A few years ago I was working for Doordash. I got a order for 27 slices of bacon from Waffle House. I thought it was a mistake so I text the customer and they was like “yeah man that’s what I want.”
Get the order and drive to their place. I knocked on the door. When he opens the door, smoke comes pouring out of the house. So much smoke I thought the Undertaker was there.
There stood a man that was high as a kite. He goes “Mannnn….I’m so glad your here…I’m starving…..
I was like oh I noticed. I gave him the food and started walking away and hear him yelling ” Your a hero mannnnn!”

Delivered a pizza to a guy, he grabbed it and went back inside to set it down and grab some cash for a tip. Left me standing there with the door open. I just waited on his porch until he got back. Then a little toddler, prolly 3 or 4 years old, walked up to the door, I smiled and waved, the girl said, “*sshole” and closed the door.
The man I delivered it to witnessed the whole thing, as he was walking back to the door. It was his granddaughter. We both laughed hysterically for like 3 minutes.

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.

I used to deliver pizzas, and one time I arrived at a house at the same time as a driver from another pizza place. We looked at each other confused for a sec before we went to the door. Turns out they had some people over and one of the people there really liked one restaurant over the other, so much so that they ordered a separate pizza.

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!!!

Delivering for Pizza Hut in a s***ty part of town. I arrive to a run down house late at night. It’s dark. Nobody answers the door. I’m walking back to my car and several cars pull up. Large group of Hispanic dudes get out. One of them walks up to me and starts f**king with me. “What’s that pizza man? What you got huh? What you doing in this neighborhood hood?”. I’m about to piss myself. He starts laughing and slaps $60 in my hand for a $20 order and tells me to get outta there. Best tip I got working at that location. Quit soon after.

I deliver for UberEats and last week I was delivering some wings to a dude. Simple delivery, leave at door, no contact. I compete the delivery and a couple minutes later my phone rings and I could tell it was coming from the customer through Uber. 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.

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.

I saw a woman give birth. I was delivering for a pizza place at the time, and we delivered to a large children’s hospital about a mile from the store. I pulled up to where we normally delivered (the valet loop), and a blue F150 comes flying in as I’m walking away. The driver jumps out of the truck screaming that his wife is giving birth, and out of the passenger side I can see plain as day a few mm of dilation staring me dead in the eye.

A grown man who insisted that I refer to him as “Snow White”. He tipped pretty good though. I’d take the money and say “thanks Snow White” and get back in my car.
