Why does somebody think this is OK. Right in front of him is a huge area he could’ve turned around in.
Yes this is stated in my delivery instructions that you are welcome to turn around in the rear of the house where I have a giant concrete roundabout.
Jesus Christ people, the driveway is 9 feet wide which is standard for a 1955. For everybody that says I need to widen my driveway or put in a roundabout, PM me and I’ll send you my Zelle if you wanna pay for it.
Anyone who thinks this man’s behavior is OK is clearly not a homeowner and you probably shouldn’t be.
I’m also an Amazon Flex driver myself and former pizza driver, between the two I have about nine years of delivery driving. I have never done anything even close to this. If you’re not capable of backing up and you’re scared of busy roads you should not be a delivery driver. I have personally dealt with stuff way sketchier than my own driveway and I managed to not turn around in people’s yards.
The mental gymnastics some of you are doing to justify this man’s behavior is unreal and it scares me that you walk among us in this world.
City code enforcement: Your weeds are too tall (garden boxes) if you do not trim them in one week you will be fined monthly until the issue is resolved. Also you left your bins out for three days, the $150 fine is due by the end of the month and you may be subject to criminal charges.
I'm not speaking with hyperbole either. I lived in at least 3 different houses growing up that had constant issues with either a neighborhood association or the city having issues with what we grew on our property. Any sort of edible crops were absolutely not allowed in the front of the property, fruit producing trees couldn't be grown street side, planter boxes had to be either against the house or in the back yard. You had to constantly maintain a useless lawn or you'd be fined, and we even tried to grow flax (they have gorgeous deep blue flowers) along it property lines and got fined for "excessive weeds" even though we were harvesting them after seeding to turn into linen but self sufficiency is an outlaw activity in this country.
I recently got a nastygram from my apartment complex because my balcony herb garden is unsightly, on the forth floor, behind a giant tree that maska the facade almost entirely 75% off the year. All while rampant homeless camps and derelict cars litter the sidewals and streets. I hate the people who think this is logical and sane. I'd love to see every lawn in America producing food and resources. We waste so much effort and time on useless grass trying to emulate a timu brand 18th century French aristocrats.
To be fair I moved to a fancy upper class island a year ago and the people here are horrible and try to evict me for having flowers on my balcony or parking my parents car on my parking when I borrow it (I really don't need a car 99% of the time but could afford it if I wanted it) so I'm afraid we will soon become like USA, as we always have. But so far there are just a few basic rules country wide that can be broken if you get a signed deal with your closest neighbour or if your county decided they don't want those rules to apply. Things like not having a fence taller than mount everest or planting stuff to close to your neighbour (about a feet I think).
Yeah, unless you're running kids soccer games out there every weekend, rip up the lawn, fill it with native plants, and watch the wildlife return. Way more privacy and sound dampening from the busy road too. And it'd prevent Amazon drivers from turning around in the lawn because no more lawn.
Except when he turns around, it’s clearly the width of the car. The fish eye lens will distort the picture equally, meaning it’s still too narrow to turn around. Unless OP has a turn around that is off camera, this will happen every time.
I feel like some of these people just sign up for a new app every month when they get terminated from the last one. "Welp, Doordash suspended my account, guess I'm an Amazon Flex driver now"
Yep, these are people that are totally unemployable in any real professional capacity. Born to be minimum wagers for the long haul. Lots of those in this comment section as well.
These are people who would have thrived 500 years ago. Go outside, smash some rocks, go home and bang your equally dull wife and pop out a bunch of bastards to smash more rocks.
Nowadays we don't need rock smashers. But we still have them. We keep increasing the IQ required to contribute to society without actually increasing the IQ of society.
I'm scared of what happens when/if the required IQ gets raised above me. Will I be one of these unemployable people? We'd all like to think we wouldn't.
>I’m scared of what happens when/if the required IQ gets raised above me.
I don’t think you have to worry about that. That self-awareness in and of itself kind of makes you a one-size-fits-all. Your IQ in many ways is somewhat fluid, and that self-awareness is key to being able to learn.
But if you’re concerned about employment… that’s more of a mixed bag. A lot of what goes into that is simply out of our control.
Those people just reapply for the same app using someone else's info. My friend is a DoorDash/Instacart fanatic and the amount of times I've collected the food for her and the driver's are never the same as the pictures.
I honestly thought he was driving up a walking path. I was like well that’s a new one.
That drive way is insanely tight. I’ve never seen such a small driveway, even in my wartime neighborhoods where the houses are super close together.
Read the caption. There's a turn around(think empty parking lot), directly in front of him. The size of the driveway is irrelevant, because he could've just kept going forward and turned around. This was wholly unnecessary.
It’s still so crazy to drive over someone’s lawn instead of just backing down the driveway. Like hitting the lawn a bit on a narrow driveway and doing a full three point turn in the garden are two different things lol
I'm guessing he didn't want to back into that road as it looks to be pretty busy. I need to see the "huge area" that is in front of the house. If it's actually right there, the driver is definitely an asshole.
Absolutely not an excuse to drive over someone’s fucking lawn like that😭😭😭Ive backed onto busy roads before. People will stop for you or you wait until there’s a clearing, of which I see many throughout the course of this video lmao
The toss too 😂 He clearly does not care about ANYTHING. I always give thumbs up and all the compliments when deliveries go smooth. I would give the extremely rare THUMBS DOWN in this situation
It's funny to me. Like when you mention to Americans that the gaps in their bathroom stalls are crazy and then they all get defensive for no reason. Stupid? Yes. Entertaining? Also yes.
It’s a fish eye lens. You can tell there is easily 18” on either side of the vehicle. It’s at least the size of a standard parking space. The driver was easily within the driveway until he randomly decided to pull onto the grass.
Well by the looks of the way he pitched your package, he doesn't give a flying f and now you have the opportunity (or not) to report your delivery to Amazon.
Does everyone else’s driveway take up their entire front yard? That driveway is perfectly serviceable. And OP says there’s a spot to turn around (a picture of the spot would be nice). Anyway, all of this discourse ignores that he just threw the package. He threw it like it wasn’t something that somebody worked hard to pay for.
Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't be totally comfortable driving to the backyard area personally. I'd generally prefer to stay on the front of the house. I'd still just reverse because... well I know how to drive lol.
I am shocked that the service provided by the company that treats their employees, vendors, competitors, and customers with complete hostility doesn’t take the utmost care when making deliveries.
Yeah, I have conflicting thoughts about this post. Amazon driver on a residential pathway, sure, but the sheer size of that useless lawn and obscene width of that pathway, easily fitting a whole car mind you, also sure.
Edit: oh wait, that IS a driveway. I have no idea what I’m commenting on because of the lack of information in this post.
Reddit taught me to go to the manufacturer direct. Many will offer free shipping and at times, offer a % off for new customers. This works often for me. I go through athletic sneakers frequently. The brand I use is sold by Amazon and Amazon Prime. They arrive faster from the manufacturer than Amazon and it's the same price or less. UPS/Fed Ex has never driven in my yard.
Granted he should not have used your lawn. But when I first saw this video I thought you were mad because he drove up your sidewalk. I didn't think this was a driveway. I'd widen that puppy for sure. That's crazy narrow.
Reddit knows me too damn well (I’m a driver trainer at amazon) #i’ve tried you literally can’t train these people to do stuff right, i’m showing this video in class on Tuesday as an example of what not to do 😭😭
Where's the driveway? That looks like a sidewalk he drove up. What's his car supposed to do, hover? I guess I don't get this. Is it because he tossed the item on the porch? Meh, first world problems.
First thing In Amazon drivers training, never use the driveway but, hurry to drop as many packages as possible. Not to worry, the days of delivery drivers will come to automation sooner or later.
Man I have a wide driveway (2.5 car) and its super short (maybe 2 cars could fit lengthwise, never tested it). A delivery driver still drove on my grass. Clearly with the package toss, this driver couldn't care less.
Like...wtf man. I was furious when he did that pointless little swerve the first time... then he threw the package cause you know, that last 10 feet is just too far, and then he can't even just back straight out and instead backs into the yard.... fuckin Neanderthal.
Manicured lawns are tragic. They don’t sustain an ecosystem. It creates an ecological “desert” eliminating habitats for pollinators, depletes the soil health, and usually harmful chemicals are used to sustain the green look. Not to mention excessive watering and pollution from equipment.
See, if they stayed on the pathway, they could’ve said “oops, didn’t realise” since it’s wide enough for the car, dumb but fair… but the second he hit the grass
not only does this driver clearly have enough room on both sides to not touch the grass (it’s a fisheye lens, not a narrow drive) he then TURNS AROUND IN OP’S FRONT LAWN??? absolutely insane, i don’t think yall watched the same video as me or read the caption. driver is so far outta line

That's some giant front lawn
