Delivery driver shoved a board through my letterbox

[u/massimmodutti]

Our fence was wrecked during a storm and got replaced, but one of the boards broke during renovation, so a replacement was ordered. The delivery driver unfortunately was quite impatient when he rang the doorbell as I sat on the toilet. Some five seconds after the bell rang I heard a loud BANG and CRASH and after hoisting up my pants I walked into this mess. He shoved the board through the letterbox that is in my front door.

I was baffled and had to move the board before I could open the door, and saw the driver take off. I called the delivery company and needless to say his boss wasn't too happy with him either. All damages will be refunded, but I'm still baffled on how he thought it was a good idea to shove a 180152 board through a 20*4 hole not knowing what's on the other side..

Thats worse than the Fedex guy tossing the flat screen TV over the fence.

If I somehow didn't think about the problems with that I would have found it hilarious to maximize the potential of that letterbox. It's easier to leave it outside so I don't think it was because he was lazy.

[u/massimmodutti → u/firstmeatball]

True! He actually needed a lot of force to get that thing all the way through, no lazybones there!

[u/Street-Crew1521]

Wonder what he did after he got it in and thought, "fuuuck I needed to take a picture that it was delivered.."

[u/BadatOldSayings → u/Street-Crew1521]

Took a picture of the guys fence. "There, it was one of those"!

[u/massimmodutti → u/Street-Crew1521]

Would've been something if he rang the bell afterwards asking if he could take a picture for doing his job, haha

[u/burnanother]

Not gonna lie, I’d probably try it too

[u/[deleted] → u/burnanother]

Me too

[u/Jscapistm]

NGL that's kinda impressive. And hilarious as it didn't happen to me.

[u/LieutenantLice → u/Jscapistm]

Even if it did happen to me, I think I would be more impressed than angry

Had one launch a massive parcel into someone else’s garden. Literally threw it, the took a picture of it there as evidence.

Was not my garden or anywhere near it. Sometimes they just having a bad day.

Had a delivery driver throw a package onto my 2nd floor apartment doorstep. I came out when I heard it hit my door, saw the dude taking a pic from the ground. Called out to him “I didn’t order anything dude, this is for my neighbors” he said “so give it to them” and drove away

If it fits, it fits

[u/Vassago1989]

As annoying as this is, I wouldn't have been laughing the whole time. He did his job 🤣

[u/ElSuperBeasto42]

It’s a really long letter

[u/Some_Nibblonian]

Tomorrow OP complains about his packages being stolen.

[u/massimmodutti → u/Some_Nibblonian]

I live in the Netherlands, fortunately package thiefs are not a thing here 😅

[u/Some_Nibblonian → u/massimmodutti]

Nice, you can have some of ours, they are overpopulated here.

[u/VossParck]

Bro is probably peeing in a bottle and getting raged at for taking too long on deliveries, all while making peanuts. I hate being on the toilet as much as the next guy, especially during a delivery. But shit happens

[u/GomerStuckInIowa]

Yeah, I mean there's a food mixer on the floor! There could have been food in that mixer for cryin' out loud. Then the tile pieces could have landed in the mixer and been served to wee children who would have died bleedin' out their arses while cryin' for their mamas. I always cover my mixer with a mattress to protect from such things. /s if you can't tell.

"If it fits, it ships"

[u/McFry__]

This is actually funny as fuck, be good on a sit com, board just comes smashing through the letter box as the person is approaching the front door

[u/ruyikal]

Driver probably thought "man I'm a fucking genius"

[u/a_modal_citizen]

There's no place local to buy fence boards, you had to have one wrapped in plastic and shipped?

[u/massimmodutti → u/a_modal_citizen]

Yes there is, but this is how the guys installing the fence handled it.

[u/Mother-Sector5541]

I meannnnnn. It made it? 😅 I’m kidding though

[u/Doctor_Saved]

He can probably slip the replacement tile you just ordered through that window as well.

[u/Snibbles28]

🤣

[u/Outrageous_Twist8891]

So basically... had you not been home you would not have been able to enter the house since the board blocked the door?

[u/ensalys → u/Outrageous_Twist8891]

This isn't an apartment, so there's probably a back door. But yeah, it's still pretty bad.

[u/massimmodutti → u/ensalys]

Hadn't thought about it, but luckily, yeah, we have a backdoor 😅

[u/9J000]

Not excusable but do you live in a hoarders house? What is that entry way lmao

[u/massimmodutti → u/9J000]

The roof also had damage due to the storm, so these tiles are (were) the replacements. The food mixer was just brought back by someone who it was lend to along with some delicious cake. So not that much hoarding luckily.
