Seriously, no notes, that's a perfectly acceptable delivery mechanism, it has been through far worse in the warehouse.

My only objection is the guy walking on the lawn. :\

[edit:] The number of people in this thread that were never taught as kids that it's impolite to walk on someone else's lawn is too damn high.

People weren’t around when your local newspaper was yeeted at your front door and it shows

u/Vegetable-Seesaw-491 23h ago

I delivered newspaper for a bit as a kid. 100% of the times the ones that needed to be "porched" were thrown from the sidewalk.

12

u/gsfgf 22h ago

Our guy would throw them from his car.

u/ScroochDown 22h ago

We had three guys in a pickup truck delivering ours! One driving, one sitting on either side of the bed yeeting papers into yards/onto driveways. I just had the most vivid memory of that huge THUNK sound that the Sunday paper made.

u/Vegetable-Seesaw-491 22h ago

I did this in the '80s and we had to use our bicycles. I was maybe 10 years old.

I can’t expect a person that is delivering 40+ stops a day to add more work so that a lawn doesn’t get 30 steps on it.

46

u/Asparagus_2point0 1d ago

Those vans do 200 stops roughly .

27

u/lennofish 1d ago

40+? boy i wish lmao

u/PrestigeMaster 1d ago

40+ is greater than or equal to 2k

u/Bearded_Toast 3h ago

Less than, also.

u/cool_pillo 20h ago

Do you get paid per delivery?

2

u/AWildGamerAppeared25 15h ago

No, it's hourly. And it's like 200+ stops, usually 200 or 300+ packages a day

Some routes even have like, 600+ packages

4

u/Kitchen_Monitor4716 20h ago

Exactly, when you’re doing 40 plus stops a day, you’re just trying to get the job done without making every delivery a whole extra mission.

It’s grass, it’s meant to be walked on

u/Dr_Trogdor 20h ago

It's grass, it's meant to be green and consume insane amounts of water 👍

u/DudeBroMan13 23h ago

Fuck the lawn. Too hot to give a shit

15

u/Funkymonk86 21h ago

Being protective over grass is the weirdest

8

u/Feralpudel 19h ago

The one thing turf grass excels at is tolerating foot and dog traffic better than anything else.

If you aren’t using it for kids or dogs or adults why?

22

u/Pensive_Pauper 1d ago

Fuck that lawn. Enormous waste of resources that contributes nothing to the environment.

u/gsfgf 22h ago

It's Tennessee. Grass just grows there.

u/Drmlk465 21h ago

Well with that attitude, why are you still breathing?

You grant permission when you order a package. I was raised to be thankful for someone’s labor. If walking across my lawn makes someone’s work day easier… then by all means.

The username you're responding to isn't the same username that "savagely attacked the existence of lawns"

u/sparkey504 4h ago

I agree 100% on the delivery... as far as the lawn goes if its pristine then yea stay off of it if you can... but for an overworked and under payed delivery guy... just dont drive on it.

Funnily enough, the post office literally trains it's employees to walk on lawns if they have a walking route. Customers can request their postal worker to not walk on their lawn and if the local post office is competent, that request will be followed.

That being said, Amazon specifically trains to not walk on lawns lmao.

I handled their work comp claims. They all walk in the grass. It's like they want to sprain their ankles.

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

I would have an issue, don't throw shit at my house

u/gilbertbenjamington 1d ago

If your house can't tank a t-shirt, must be a shit house

10

u/cans-of-swine 1d ago

If you throw shit at a shit house, would that make it stronger? 

1

u/JerseyShore7619 1d ago

It’d for sure make it shittier

-12

u/deffrekka 1d ago

You house can tank eggs, shit and rotten food, can we all throw this at your house? It can tank it after all.

-34

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

That's not the point, throwing anything at someone's house is incredibly disrespectful. You can't just throw things at people's houses lol

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

This whole thread is hilarious, I'm getting downvoted for saying you shouldn't throw things at people's houses

11

u/likwidkool 1d ago

If he threw it at their house, I can see your point. But if it was lobbed on the front porch I wouldn’t have an issue. But that’s just me.

-7

u/Puzzleheaded-Fill205 1d ago

Lobbed? I'm sure it was a perfect spiral!

5

u/JerseyShore7619 1d ago

You cry about a lot of things in life don’t you.

1

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

I'm literally laughing at all of this, I somehow offended a lot of people by saying you shouldn't throw things at houses. This is absolutely hilarious, no crying from me

Someday when you own a home i hope someone does the same shit to you.

Edit: i have a bunch of dumbasses in my replies who think im worried about the house getting ruined. Its not about the house. Its about the blatant disrespect for other peoples property. How would yall feel if you ordered something online and had your package chucked like a football. Grow the fuck up yall.

u/gilbertbenjamington 1d ago

Ill be fine if a t shirt gets thrown at my house

u/Sea-Cupcake-2065 1d ago

Idk my friend ordered a 5 pack of hanes T-shirt and the delivery driver hurled it at his house. My friend was never the same. He was devastated

u/fikozacc123 1d ago

Oh no! A.... T shirt, oh the horror! anything but that!

u/InevitablyBored 1d ago

Just threw a t-shirt at my house. House exploded.

u/fauxregard 1d ago

That's not reasonable. It's a shirt. Guarantee it saw worse on its way from the factory to your house.

4

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

That's not the point. You can't just throw shit at peoples houses. My 5 year old knows that

6

u/fauxregard 1d ago

Apparently he can. His job isn't to respect you, it's to deliver packages as quickly as possible.

I don't imagine Amazon drivers have the luxury of perfect manners considering they apparently have to pee in water bottles.

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

You're right he doesn't have to respect me, but part of his job is dealing with the public and what he did isn't acceptable behavior in public. People aren't allowed to throw things at peoples houses. This guy should be in a warehouse if he wants to throw shit

4

u/fauxregard 1d ago

Sounds like something you should take up with Amazon 🤷‍♂️. As nice as it would be, not everyone has a universal understanding of what is or is not respectful or acceptable.

For me personally, I'm able to draw a distinction between throwing a t-shirt onto my porch and a rock through my window. They're not the same thing. They're not both just "throwing stuff at my house", there's a distinction there.

6

u/TheSaneEchidna 1d ago

Can you elaborate? What's disrespectful about it? The driver didn't know the homeowner and was just tossing wrapped clothing that wasn't gonna get damaged or do any damage onto the porch to save himself some time. Nothing looked malicious or like he was trying to break anything. So where's the disrespect? A lot of people aren't seeing the problem including me.

-1

u/ConcreteDinosaur 1d ago

You don't think it's disrespectful to throw something at someone's house, especially while you're working???? Are you actually serious?

6

u/TheSaneEchidna 1d ago

No? Why would I take something not meant disrespectfully as disrespectful?

You're sounding more and more like the kind of person who would complain about a cashier not standing up at the register.

2

u/Zakaru99 1d ago

No, I don't.

It seems like most people agree.

-4

u/Montooth 1d ago

You're getting downvoted, but you're right. It's not necessarily a damage thing, it's a basic respect thing. I deliver for a living and would absolutely get shit canned if I got caught doing this

-5

u/Wumbo0 1d ago

You can't appeal to the sensibilites of people who respect ownership on Reddit

Nobody that owns anything or plans to is here lmao

u/CommissionIcy9909 18h ago

Great throw coming downhill

-1

u/chezzer33 21h ago

Yes there is! Amazon should have a tshirt cannon for any clothing deliveries. Turret on top of the delivery van. It would save the drivers from having to get up/down from the truck and save time.

1

u/cvr24 1d ago

So you can't say that Amazon doesn't give a shirt.

u/_TooncesLookOut 1d ago

Sounded like a bag of Skittles or m&ms.

u/El_Guap 21h ago

That's just how Yeezy delivers his merch.

u/EsotericTribble 8h ago

Doesn't matter what it is that's crap service and termination worthy.
