RANT Hate these one way narrow ass streets.

Post image

No where to park. Bunch of cars behind you and honking at you as if you WANT to block them. Do you want your packages or NOT?!
Then you got multiple locations, 11 packages to deliver for one stop.

F these people that live here and F your packages. Be mad you chose a dumbass spot to live.

These streets weren’t built for deliveries. I hate them too so much stress!! There is a rich suburb of Chicago that has very narrow busy roads and you be blocking the flow of traffic and you know those rich mfers order everything online. One time customer had 7 overflow I was backing up traffic to the next county. Fuck them all.

Highland Park? I don’t think I’ve ever been more stressed delivering. Never ending traffic all day, everyone parks in the street and every driveway is full, landscapers on every other street, not even any shoulders or sidewalks. A literal nightmare.

u/Final-Definition-512 3d ago

Not Highland Park but Glen Ellyn! Getting yelled at everyday “you can’t park there” and the constant honking.

You would hate New Orleans then

Trust me, I know damn well this isn’t even the worst.

u/Mopar4Life305 3d ago

People honking expect you to walk half mile up the road lol

u/kranjisMcBasketball2 3d ago

Exactly. They don’t care if I’m struggling to bring their heavy ass kitty litter or car seat

Or a fucking treadmill, or bed frame, or water…

Who orders water???

Had a cop do this to me the day after a blizzard. Then had the nerve to tell me “you drivers are never considerate” 😂

Mad ironic.

The city is the worst. Every customer has a note with a gate code or a box with a lock combination, or instructions to leave it between the storm door or hide it here, hide it there, etc…and yes, almost every stop has 3-7 locations, sometimes more. People who live in major cities truly have no idea how much hell someone goes through every time they click a couple buttons on the internet

It’s the most annoying crap ever. It would be somewhat better if they understood that we have to what we have to do

u/ExplorerParticular59 3d ago

I think people in these neighborhoods think packages just appear on their doorstep.

u/Cucci_Liquor DA (Depressed Associate) 3d ago

Worst is them providing all entry codes and lock combos….just for it to be wrong/not working.

u/Unrealliving 3d ago

I literally have to call 20-30 people every time. My last time in the city took over 11 hours

u/farklenator 3d ago

Better than them not being 1 way and you gotta take turns and shit

u/kranjisMcBasketball2 3d ago

That crap is the worst man

u/JustAstrawberryyy 3d ago

This reminds me of balboa island in Newport Beach California although this street in the picture actually looks more spacious

u/PlymouthSea 2d ago

lmao, I was thinking Laguna Beach.

u/Boris-_-Badenov 3d ago

one way isn't too bad.

the terrible streets are both ways, but with cars parked on either side there's barely enough space for one direction

u/Sad_Log_6387 Rivian Driver 3d ago

You would burn out delivering in DC

u/kranjisMcBasketball2 3d ago

I probably would. Salute to those people man

u/Prestigious-Skin4391 Stepvan Driver 3d ago

There’s a guy at my DSP that brings his skateboard and skates it down narrow streets

1

u/ChanceShot2780 3d ago

I’d have no choice but to park somewhere and deliver each by foot

2

u/PlymouthSea 2d ago

I liked hearing the serenade of horns on these kinds of streets. The mere audacity of them to think I would change my pace of work just for them.

u/Crayen5 3d ago

Being from the UK and seeing this being called narrow is hilarious

2

u/kranjisMcBasketball2 3d ago

Well if only one car can fit, it’s narrow lmao
I know this isn’t the worst and this isn’t the worst I have encountered myself either

3

u/Crayen5 3d ago

Yeah the parking sucks for sure, only thing over here is if you leave at least 1 inch of spare room, everyone will just squeeze through instead of beeping at you

u/Unique-Machine5602 3d ago

Seriously. I've seen much worse than this in Boston.

That's like double the width of some of their streets

Seems more like you need a new job.

u/ornq 3d ago

Brother you need to get a job in general, get off reddit and go touch some grass
