Package or Prank? 45 Worst Delivery Driver Behaviors Going Viral

You've been waiting all week for your new 4K TV, but you find it sitting in plain view on your porch—or worse, face down in the dirt. Bored Panda has compiled a shocking list of 45 instances where delivery drivers acted like total jerks, ranging from petty food theft to blatant property destruction.

Examining the Worst Delivery Driver Behaviors

The compilation features nightmare scenarios that every online shopper fears. In one case, a USPS carrier bent a diploma that took 5 years to earn, just to fit it into a small mailbox. Another viral photo shows a brand new vinyl record folded in half, effectively destroying it before the owner could even listen to it. These aren't just accidents; they're displays of utter disregard for customer property.

Hygiene concerns are also at the forefront of these viral reports. Security cameras have caught Domino's drivers eating toppings off pizzas and Postmates couriers sipping drinks before handing them over. The most disturbing examples involve drivers licking spoons or handling food in unsanitary conditions, such as delivering meals out of a dirty baby stroller.

Pressure vs. Professionalism

While these actions are inexcusable, industry experts point to the immense pressure of the gig economy. According to Thrillist, delivery is one of the most underappreciated jobs, characterized by lightning-fast paces and strict quotas. This doesn't justify Amazon or FedEx drivers stealing packages they just delivered, but it provides context for the crumbling standards of the 'Last Mile' service.
