The pandemic ushered in a new way to buy food. Nowadays, many people order dinner and groceries through apps instead of going out. In fact, 28.2% of Americans say they use food delivery apps at least once a week. Sometimes, delivery workers can pass for comedians with how witty they get when communicating with customers.
Bored Panda has found the funniest and weirdest interactions between delivery drivers and and their customers, and we’ve put them here in one place for you to enjoy. Truly, who hasn’t received a text from their delivery person that says they’ve been arrested or got a confirmation photo of their delivery with their kitty in it?

#21 Is This Automated?
I genuinely have never received this sort of text from a dasher. I’m not mad at it, but is it automated or something? I hope it’s not because I replied, “Thanks, twin.”

#28 Delivery Driver Texted Me After Dropping Off My Food. Am I Being Too Nice?
So I ordered some midnight Domino’s and the driver used my order to find my name and phone number to text me. He seemed about my age and I got the vibes that he just didn’t realize how creepy this can come off, but does this happen often? And should I have gone about it differently?

#31 Got This Text From My DoorDash Driver. I’m Rather Confused?
I made an order via the Pizza Hut app. I got a text saying they’re sending my order via DoorDash, though I don’t have DoorDash, but I didn’t think much of it. So I got this text about 20 minutes after I placed my order. This guy sounds a bit upset. I’m not sure what he means by me paying one dollar for the food to arrive?

#41 Dasher Propositioned Myself And My Partner During And After A Delivery
This happened almost a year ago. This guy was weird from the jump. He showed up for the delivery shirtless, which I thought was odd. I had requested contactless delivery, but he insisted that I meet him downstairs. When I went downstairs to meet him, he said, “You’re so beautiful.” Mind you, I looked like absolute garbage, so this was odd in itself. I said, “Thank you,” and “Thanks for the delivery,” and started to head back inside. He stopped me and asked if I was single, and I said, “No, I’m hanging out with my partner; she’s just upstairs.”
He then asked if my partner and I wanted any “company,” and I was completely thrown off. I said, “No thanks, but have a good night,” and basically ran back up the stairs. As I was telling my partner what happened, I received the texts.
I immediately reached out to DoorDash, and their solution was that he would be blocked from delivering to me again during his review period. I seem to remember that the customer support specialist implied that his account could be removed, but I don’t have the messages anymore. Super weird stuff.

#42 Overly Friendly Driver
I’ve been a DoorDasher before, but this was absolutely too much! The text that said, “I’m so glad you got me as your dasher,” really turned me off. Quite frankly, this is how you get me not to tip.

#43 Found This “Lovely” Text Exchange With A Delivery Driver While Cleaning Out My Photos
Ironically, this was the only year I was single in college. Not quite sure why I agreed to him asking me a question in the first place. Pretty sure I blocked the number after responding.
