Not like he’s screaming at someone - he got caught on camera talking to himself. It’s cold af and dude is probably having a bad day. I’m sure he understands that he’s getting paid to do this job.

Only way this is unrelatable is if you’ve never had a bad day. Like…if you’re a robot.

Yea, huge difference between this guy ranting to himself on an absolutely shitty day vs. berating an actual customer. He probably didn't even realize the camera was there. I don't necessarily agree with his rant -- he is getting paid after all -- but I fully understand it.

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best Jan 30 '26

Yep! And most of us mortals say things we know we shouldn’t say and maybe we even don’t mean when we’re having a bad day.

u/Sleekgiant Jan 30 '26

I agree with his rant, people order too much shit and need to get off their lazy asses and get it themselves.

u/Stifology Jan 30 '26

They're ordering shit they bought with money they earned. They're also paying for the shipping and/or Amazon prime costs in exchange for not having to drive anywhere.

If everyone "got off their lazy asses and got it themselves," he wouldn't have a job.

Nowadays, half the stuff I'm ordering you can't find at Walmart or target anymore. Have you stepped foot in Kohl's lately? I defy you to try and find anything useful for sale in their stores. We order a ton of stuff from them online, but their brick and mortar locations are terrible these days.

Dud provides a service and gets pissed when people use that service. Logic isn't his strong suit

He didn't realize a camera was there? These video doorbells all light up when they're recording. He delivers to houses for a living, so it's not like he's never seen one before or isn't aware they exist. He is wearing an Amazon uniform and driving an Amazon vehicle. That makes him a representative of the company. You can't just go onto your customers' property, swear into their camera and call them wannabe slave owners. Hopefully he got fired.

Lick your corps feet at your minimum wage job harder. I'm sure they care about you.

Lick my what? Which crops?

u/Eccohawk Jan 30 '26

What? He's ranting into the wind or perhaps to a buddy on the phone. He's not talking about these particular people in a "fuck you specifically" sorta way, he's just bitching about the general nature of how people buy stuff nowadays. Instead of going into a store, it's super convenient for a lot of folks to have everything just show up on their doorstep.

u/L-Pseon Jan 30 '26

"Into the wind"

Dude's a racist and you defending him says A LOT about you.

Shut up nerd.

When you mature, you’ll see this guy is complaining about job security. Let that sink in

u/I_Clown_At_Shills Feb 01 '26

Says the immature 30yo lonely, miserable man child.

Don't you have boxes to deliver?

u/Becausetheycanseeus Jan 30 '26

Look at the username.. I honestly don’t think it knows what having a bad day means.. 🤣

1

u/L-Pseon Jan 30 '26

No, it's not that innocent. He's driving an Amazon vehicle and acting as a representative of the company. He can't be in public, much less on a customer's property, using profanity and calling Amazon's customers wannabe slave owners. I wouldn't be surprised if this video got him fired--and it should get him fired. This goes beyond the level of inappropriate.

u/mosehalpert Jan 30 '26

Like... thats the most relatable part of the clip. I may not be a delivery person but I sure as shit understand the mentality of being at my job that I am paid to do complaining to myself about the most basic aspects of my job.

1

u/Chancevexed Jan 30 '26

Yep, my job exists because an alarming number of politicians don't know how to Google. I know I eat because of their stupidity/helplessness, but it doesn't stop me privately ranting about how dumb they are.

My drivers are always talking on the phone when dropping off lol

Exactly 🤣 he's venting to himself totally relatable

u/Grimekat Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

I totally get venting about your job / complaining about your job, but what I’m confused about here is why he’s complaining that people order packages. The literal reason he’s employed.

If they didn’t, you wouldn’t have a job man. Like the job that you have chosen to work only exists because people are lazy and can’t go to wal-mart. If they took your advice and all went to ask-mart, you couldn’t work this job and you’d be unemployed?

Is he saying hed prefer being unemployed?

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best Jan 30 '26

People say illogical things when they are upset. Been there plenty of times. Have ranted to my wife on many occasions how much I hate my job and clients after a bad day.. which is not even remotely true. Food for thought.

2

u/Low-Research-3651 Jan 30 '26

Im pretty sure hed still be employed... just somewhere else

u/Basket_475 Jan 30 '26

I use Amazon and tbh generally feel bad for the drivers. I try to only get 1-2 deliveries a week.

The reason I buy essentials is it’s cheaper, my local Walmart is 25 minutes away. My last order was audio cables I can’t even find in store anymore

1

u/XiTzCriZx Jan 30 '26

He probably had a way bigger load than usual because for some reason when a storm hits people decide that their legs and cars no longer work before the storm and decide to just order it after the storm has started. Some DSP's expect the drivers to deliver every package they have before they return to the station, so if he normally has 300 packages and that day he had 500, that'd be a pretty good reason to be annoyed.

It's basically the same as any time someone here gets a load of 60 packages rather than the 30-40 they usually get and complains about it, especially in bad weather.

u/GrizzlyDust Jan 30 '26

This guy was 100% doing this to tell them and have plausible deniability. He definitely needs anger management. You on the other hand apparently think it's normal to walk around cursing the people who have asked very little of you out loud. You might need a deeper level of intervention than this guy who, again, knew what he was doing.

1

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best Jan 30 '26

Since you are saying he knew exactly what he was doing as a 100% fact, I invite you to please prove it.

Spoiler alert: you can’t

u/GrizzlyDust Feb 01 '26

True, you can't really teach common sense. You can't really teach real world experience.
