'Thieves!!!': Doordasher witnesses a customer getting banned from the app after they try to pull a poorly executed scam
As a Doordash delivery driver, you're privy to a very special kind of customer abuse. As the middle man of a much larger money-grabbing scheme, you often get blamed for pretty much everything from all angles. Food is cold? Your fault. Unresponsive to texts while driving? Blamed. Delivered to the address provided but it's somehow the wrong address? Definitely your responsibility
*HUGE EYE ROLL*
…Not only that, but because of the exorbitant fees and ridiculous extravagance of getting food delivered to your house from any restaurant, Doordash users are also notoriously terrible tippers. There's no winning here.
One delivery driver recently witnessed justice take place when a customer tried to blame him for a lost order. As a seasoned delivery man, u/k-kat93 had delivered to this particular customer before– it was particularly memorable because of the cop car parked in the driveway and the soccer mom sticker on the SUV. After a pretty routine drop off, where he took the food straight to the door, took a photo and bounced, Kat received a notification 15 minutes later that the food was never delivered and he was about to get in trouble for it. No way!
Kat didn't want to put his reputation on the line for a lie, so he informed the customer that he'd left the food like he always did at the address provided. They got snippy in their responses to him, so he contacted customer service to handle the problem, hoping to avoid a bad review that might tarnish his star ratings.
After explaining the situation to customer service, Kat waited with dread, expecting a bad review or even a write up from the company… but there was nothing. Eventually he went to go check his DM's with the customer and saw that the entire conversation was unreachable, as if their account no longer existed.
In their attempt to scam Doordash for some free food by blaming the driver, they got themselves banned from the app completely. Justice is a dish delivered cold.
'You are ruining a [baby's] life': Entitled person demands acquaintance change their dog's name so they can use the name for their unborn child
People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their "Emily" is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years.
The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A-12), there are likely hundreds of people with the exact same name out there in the world already… and that's just people, not counting the endless amounts of pets out there, all daring to exist with your child's name.
So, being so petty as to demand that your friend's friend change the name of their dog—just so you can claim that name for your child—is laughable at best. Sure, you might be upset if your sister named her kid the same name as your kid. But if the issue is an already named dog connected through a relationship this tenuous and distant, then you haven't got a leg (or four) to stand on.
Anyways, read on for this ridiculous exchange below. For more, check out this entitled person who wanted to buy a friend's service dog and wouldn't take no for an answer.
'Bride went full Gollum': Bride sees stranger knitting in hotel lobby, thinks it's a wedding gift, loses it when she's told otherwise
When you get engaged, there's apparently a high possibility that you come to believe the world has stopped and started revolving entirely around you. This is not true for everyone, but it's certainly true for some folks, especially this bride. She saw a random stranger knitting in the hotel lobby on the weekend of her wedding and straight-up assumed she was knitting a white veil for her big day tomorrow. When the Redditor laughed and politely responded that she wasn't a guest of the wedding and that this veil was simply for herself, the bride completely lost it.
Our hearts not only go out to the Redditor who had to endure this bizarre interaction, but also we're thinking of the mother of the bride, who saw the whole freakout unfold and had to pick up the pieces and apologize on her daughter's behalf. Yikes! For more stories like this, here's one about an employee who proved his Karen manager wrong.
'It’s not a favor. It’s a job': Entitled mom insists friend should babysit her three kids, enlists mommy group to guilt her friend
This artist has a friend who may become an ex-friend following a heated childcare squabble.
There are some "fun" careers that people tend to dismiss as not being "real work." Even if your job seems fun to the people watching from the outside, that doesn't mean it lacks concentration, skill, and time management. This artist is dealing with that right now! Her friend seems to be under the impression that as an artist, the OP can just goof off and play with art supplies while watching the friend's three kids.
So basically, this so-called friend is asking the artist to take time out of her work day — there's no way to watch three kids while also creating a painting for a client. Kids are just too demanding, even when they're on their best behavior. The mom in this situation doesn't have much respect for the OP's job or free time, and she also doesn't seem to understand how much work childcare really is. Otherwise, she wouldn't be asking the favors she's demanding from the OP!
Scroll down to check out this long read, which is worth it for the satisfying conclusion. Next up, this vegan is disturbed by her neighbor's habits, but I doubt they'll be changing it anytime soon.
