This kind of technology has opened up a world of possibilities for the average person. Instead of having a few options to choose from, nearly every restaurant is on the food delivery apps, including fast food pla…

When you've been in the workforce long enough, you know that what the boss says, goes, no matter how hard you might roll your eyes about it. In some jobs, you have bosses that make you question how they ever got the job in the first place. They're the boss who constantly does things that seem wrong in the eyes of the other employees.

'He wanted to be the first one of the day': Entitled market owner delays trucker by 4 hours

This customer tried to get some petty payback on a company that he felt had wronged him. It didn't end well for him! Customers tend to fall into two groups when they've been wronged by an establishment. Let's say for example a customer buys a product, and it's faulty, and they try to return it. The store refuses and won't budge. The customer may get so irate that they declare, “I'm never coming back here ever again!” Here's where the two groups come into play: some of those people mean it, and…

'I opened the door and he looked at me, confused': Pizza delivery guy slides note under customer's door

This guy was forced to confront a pizza delivery guy … because he tried to give a note to his girlfriend right in front of his eyes! Pizza delivery is supposed to be fast and simple. You place your order on an app or by calling the restaurant, the guy drops off your pizza a half hour later, and then you watch a movie while you chow down. It's supposed to be the easy dinner option. Apparently no one told that to this pizza delivery guy, who kept insisting on seeing the woman who lived at this pl…

Client micromanages truck driver over delivery, trucker sends dozens of pointless photos for revenge: 'You want updates, I will give you all the updates'

No one wants to be micromanaged. Whether by a boss, a coworker, a partner, or even a family member, as an adult, we can handle things on our own. There is nothing more insulting than having someone constantly checking in on you to make sure you are getting things done. Well, that's just what happened to this truck driver when he was making a delivery to a client. He had to drive only a few hours and was running way ahead of schedule...

There is a plethora of ways in which a food delivery order can go wrong. Sometimes, it's an honest mistake. Sometimes, it's the customer's fault. And sometimes the person delivering your food is a bit too eager and bizarre. You know, the kind of guy who messages you after the delivery is complete. Perhaps it's about getting an extra tip or maybe it's even a flirtation no one asked for. Regardless, customers and delivery drivers alike are human, which means the capacity for errors and misjudgmen…

'This is not my apartment number': Entitled Karen keeps listing neighbor's apartment number for all their deliveries

This scenario is ripe for some petty payback. The first time this Redditor received a delivery intended for a different apartment down the hall, they did not think much of the situation. They simply concluded that it must have been a mistake or the delivery person was buzzing any apartment number just to enter the building. However, the next time it happened, they started to put the pieces together. They realized that the entitled Karen down the hall kept listing the Redditor's apartment number…

20+ bizarre food delivery stories: 'A grown man [who] insisted that I refer to him as Snow White'

Who hasn't had an embarrassing late night delivery story? We all get food cravings, especially after a long day or a night out. Sometimes, it's the only time you allow yourself to eat certain things. For me, that would be cookies and McDonalds. It happens more frequently than I'd like to admit, and when it does happen, I like to destroy all the evidence of the delivery once I'm finished eating and pretend like nothing ever happened. I mean, do calories even count after 11 p.m.? Though my intent…

'I don't work here, lady': Delivery guy agrees to scan woman's groceries at her insistence

Never underestimate a customer's ability to be completely and utterly wrong. That's the lesson one baffled delivery person learned during one of their days on the job. Every job deals with clients or customers in some way, and at the most basic level, it's an employee's responsibility to assist them. Companies take this very seriously. For example, at call centers, most workers aren't allowed to hang up on callers, even if they're flipping out over the phone because they don't understand why th…

'That's not even my job': Woman demands delivery guy shovel snow from her driveway, he decides to leave her a snowy message instead

As a working adult, there is one lesson about work you usually learn the hard way, which is to never let anyone push you into doing work that is not part of your job description. If you agree to even a small job that is something you are not getting paid to do, you will probably end up doing a lot more, without being rewarded for it. This is why the OP in this Reddit story was probably not in a rush to do what a customer asked for. That and the fact that the customer was incredibly entitled and…
