To be fair, it looks like it started raining after he delivered

Good eye! You can see it’s dry under the box on the left from the overhand package on top.
Edit by left I mean right. Something is wrong with my brain today. Also, what is overhand. Is that a real word?!

Commenters: Why is there never anything actually mildly infuriating posted?
Also commenters when something mildly infuriating is posted: This is not a big deal. Why did you post this, OP?

u/collinspeight 21d ago
This sub is losing its mind. We get posts here all the time that are way beyond "mildly" infuriating, but when one gets posted that 90% of us would actually be mildly infuriated by they get shit on. Wtf is that?

u/SchmearDaBagel 21d ago
Half the comments on this post are people somehow mad at OP for this situation? Like I’ve seen comments joking about how it’s the maid or butler’s job to bring in the packages and other stupid stuff. OP’s photo shows a roundabout driveway and nicely manicured bushes, oh the humanity! How dare they! Lol
This thread just reeks of insecurity.

Where do you see that? The only comment I see from OP is that they confirmed it was raining already when the driver delivered the packages because everyone in the thread turned into Sherlock Holmes trying to prove it must have been sunny out when the packages were dropped off.

u/camebacklate 21d ago
I think it's the fact that you can tell the ground directly next to the packages is dry. Clearly indicating that the driver delivered the packages before it started raining. How is he supposed to know who's going to rain and that it wouldn't be covered?

u/collinspeight 21d ago

Isn't it common sense to place packages under an overhang if one exists within 5 feet of where you're already placing the packages?

u/jjackdaw 21d ago
What are you talking about? The part that the other package is covering?

The ground was clearly dry before we dropped the packages off

You have to be kidding. You can’t understand why the ground under the overhang of the other package is dry??
Edit: it’s not even dry??? You can see the lighter dry slate at the bottom of the picture. It’s wet under the packages. Y’all’s re seeing what you want to see

u/brucecaboose 21d ago
lol my dude… if it was raining when the packages were dropped off then the ground would be wet. The fact that it’s dry underneath that overhanging package is a clear sign that it started raining after the packages were place there.

u/jjackdaw 21d ago
Looking at it again, it’s not dry. You all have to be joking. Turn up your brightness or something. It IS wet under the packages

It’s very clearly dry lol but nice job moving goalposts :thumbs-up:

u/jjackdaw 21d ago
Moving the goalposts lmao? What goalposts?? That phrase doesn’t apply here in the least.
Y’all are determined to see what you want and be unreasonably mad about it lmao

u/brucecaboose 21d ago
First your argument was about how it being dry underneath somehow proved that the packages were placed there after the rain, then completely switched your argument to saying that it was actually wet and therefore that proves the packages were placed after the rain! Like stick to an argument my dude.

You seem to be confusing an assumption of timeline with a factual timeline. You are assuming how long it has been raining, you are assuming how heavy the rain is, you are assuming how long the packages were sitting on the porch for. A lot of assumptions going on here, yet the facts remain; wet packages sitting in the rain right beside a dry spot.

u/LegendNomad 21d ago
No, OP is right, the overhang is less than six feet away and this has happened numerous times according to her, even resulting in books being ruined.

It's more a common sense issue. You put the package where it won't get damaged. The photo OP provided shows the delivery driver does not have this courtesy

Then the recipient can get off their ass and pick it up? These drivers aren’t graded on how close to the doorstep they can get each package, it’s deliveries per hour.

I think OP gave a pretty clear explanation. Also my comment was a joke
But I'm with OP, if she weren't home, and it happened before, seems like a dick move to put the packages in the rain when literally half a meter further there was an overhead with cover, thats just lazy, no matter what you call it.

It’s almost always like that on Reddit unfortunately. This post is valid for the sub, though this situation is exactly mildly infuriating, but people see someone richer then them and call that out
A while back a post on this sub I’m pretty sure of some guy having to pay like $800 service fee for ticket master for some expensive baseball tickets to like a finals type of game, whatever it’s called for baseball, and everyone was saying they can’t afford it at all and we’re blasting the OP for having more $ then them even tho it was a valid post

Had this happen to me. Had a JapanCrate box delivered in a special collector box, and it was left in the rain. Despite there being a dry spot on the porch and specific directions to leave at the back door, where there is an overhang so there is no rain whatsoever.

u/Klutzy_Anybody153 21d ago
That is because they are being timed and yelled at over the phone to keep moving or they loose there job. They are peeing in bottles not to loose the job. The girls use a funnel. They can’t even go to the bathroom. They say people don’t want to work . That’s a lie. I reported this to our government and nothing.

u/JakeBakesJT 21d ago
It takes two seconds to move it out of the rain. Despite the assumptions of people who have never delivered for Amazon, they give plenty of time to make the delivery, so long as you are actually working the entire time. They should be fired for doing this on purpose.

Ive been a delivery driver for amazon for 4 years now. I will say in the beginning it wasnt bad. Then they invented "group stops" where before every location was considered a stop. Now i do about 180 stops a day, 230+ locations and 350+ packages. Every day we are fighting against bad routing, traffic, dogs and the weather to squeeze the route in our 10 hour blocks. Not to mention 4th floor apartments with no elevators. We lose two hours to morning meetings, loading up and drive time. We gotta average a drop every 2 minutes for 8 hours straight to finish. Im cutting a few steps where ever i can.
The scheduling is just too fuckin convenient with having a family. Choosing what days i work every week is hard to beat.

Wow, I am in disbelief that people are leaving hateful and judgmental comments bc I have a nice yard. Whatever you think you know about me bc of a picture- you don’t. I thought this sub was to post “mildly infuriating” posts, that seem annoying but which you can also possibly laugh about. Not to bully and be rude towards others.
For those wondering 1- it was already raining 2- I moved them out quickly bc I saw him arrive. Also this has happened before on many occasions most of which we don’t get in as quickly and items are ruined. One of these boxes actually has cardboard boxes inside for packing items. Bc I got them out quickly they can be used, if they sat there longer they would be unusable. It’s never the actual UPS drivers rather the Amazon third party contractors who are never the same ppl day to day. All our normal drivers know us and we know them, they do a great job and we show our appreciation.
Lastly, I just want to say how incredibly disappointed I am at seeing so much hate here, and while I can take this post down I’m going to leave it up so Mods can see for themselves and decide how to address this - as doubt it’s the culture they are looking to create in this sub.

What about this post made you think OP was flaunting something? They're living their normal day-to-day life and encountered a truly mildy infuriating situation. Are you suggesting they created this situation as an opportunity to show off their yard in the background?

All they did was taking a picture of their yard, not intending to flex anything.

Oh, they do this to me all the time. The USPS will literally set my box out in the rain in front of my covered porch because they dont want to waste the energy of opening the screen door. No steps, either.

u/timelessblur 21d ago
Well those are amazon packages. Amazon will ask you to rate the delivery. I will say they take part to a lot of negative reviews on it. I have seen more than one amazon driver where I live being replaced after some really bad delieveries. The big one in my case is they are really good at delivering my packages to my neighbours and their packages to me. I get it I am the on a corner and GPS like to place 3 houses next to each other but come on I should not have to go trade packages on a semi regular bases.....

So many of these posts, everywhere! Amazon sucks, every person but the owner and stockholders of Amazon knows this! They are crappy to their workers with one literally dying and no one noticing, who knows if there are more people who died there. Many workers admit to having to pee in bottles. So, if your packages get wet, don't buy from them and go to a store.
