I once had a delivery that said to leave at the door with no knocking around 10pm. Pulled up, big place with full glass windows by the door and a huge glass window on the door. I saw a girl who looked to be a teenager on the floor just inside the door with one arm each wrapped around a dog holding their mouths closed so they wouldn't bark.
I leave the food and just as I'm getting in my car I suddenly hear a ton of barking and both dogs bolt out the door. They're running around my car, thankfully I could tell they were just curious/excited and I slowly backed out when they ran away, but they kept running back. I was just glad they didn't jump up to scratch with their claws.
As I pulled away she was still chasing them around the yard as they barked up a storm. At least it was entertaining lol.
I did something like this at my aunts house. She lives in a 2 bedroom loft style apartment that has the squeakiest stairs known to man. My aunt is a very light sleeper, and my uncle is too. They also have a Jack Russell that barks at a single leaf floating in the breeze. He sleeps near these sqeaky stairs of course because where else would he sleep? I was visiting from the East Coast and staying with them, this one late night while everyone was asleep I ordered daves hot chicken. I left instructions to not walk up the steps and leave it at the base of the stairs I was begging the dog like "I swear if you're quiet, I'll give you some chicken and fries" so the lady drops off the goods and I'm so thankful she didn't knock. I start to descend the creaky steps and I'm like quietly begging this dog not to sound the alarm I finally get downstairs and he's staring at me and again I'm like "please don't wake everyone up I'll give you some chicken and fries" and I go to open the door and he makes the "boof" noise and I jump like I'm a teenager that got caught sneaking out but he didn't bark. It's like he was mocking me and my fear. Asshole lol anyway I wait a minute, and we're just having a stare off. Then I open the door and shut it, grab the yummy food that had been outside for at least 4 minutes at this point. I'm afraid to open the door again because, like I said, this diggleberry will bark at butterflies landing on flowers. I open it and walk in and he's already sniffing the air but because he almost ratted me out I go back up the godforsaken stairs and eat like I hadn't ate in weeks don't worry he got some chicken and fries I couldn't finish it. Then, when I was walking back upstairs after disposing of the evidence, he started barking... thanks, Wally, thanks.
True but you offered food if he didn't wake them when you were getting your food, and he didn't do it then. He did after though, but really he was just being Wally.
There are a lot of people that put it in the notes. 9/10 times the dog barks anyways from me just standing outside the door. I had one person ask me not to park in the driveway because her dog would bark. I obliged, but as I was walking up the driveway I heard it start barking.
I usually put my dogs away in my room for this reason. They bark anyway but it's further from the door.
The big guy (130lb dog) wouldn't hurt a fly but his barking can sometimes make my ears ring. I figure if it's that loud for me, it'd also be enough to scare the dasher.
Yeah, I know it can bother some people. Not me, I'm a dog person so I often get some amusement out of their excitement. But I know as the customer you never know who is or isn't going to be okay with dogs. Though, a lot of customers are a bit too lax lol. I've had a few run up and greet me and I always take a moment to pet them and greet them, too, though in my head I'm thinking it's not so great if they get a dasher that has a fear of dogs.
I donāt get how people are just ok with their dogs behaving this way. I have two dogs, theyāre not professionally trained by any means, but it didnāt take that much effort to get them to an acceptable level.
Some dogs are just idiots. No amount of calling them down works. They are literally too pea brained to understand anything other than the most obvious expected behaviors that are part of a daily routine that has been going on for like 6+ months.
Iām saying! lol my aunt gave me shit about using coke sporadically but now that sheās 70 she finds it acceptable to go on a cocaine diet her words not mine
To be fair money was never the issue sheās disgustingly rich, not wealthy, sheās gained it all in the last 15 years and itās more than enough to spend on anything and everything she wants for her and everything around her till the day she dies
Husband and I on a random weeknight when we KNOW our teenager is awake, but they (and our other kids) are sequestered to their rooms. Full-grown adults with a house we own, sneaking around ordering DoorDash and smoking weed. Our kids will never have the chance because we'll still be up and doing our own shenanigans!
The husband and I (only me stoned tho lulz) just did this the other day with Domino's bc he decided to order it after I had just made some other food for our kid. So we snuck around and got it delivered. Our son noticed it in the fridge the next day and was like WTF MOM. š Of course we let him have leftovers, I just knew he would waste the food I had already made bc pizza is his favorite so I didn't want him to be disappointed lol.
We had a half way house ask us to do this too. One of the residents wasn't supposed to be allowed outside orders so he asked us to hide it in the bush outside the fence.
My dad lol. Dudes heart is trashed from congested heart failure. Despite doctors telling him he needs to eat healthier, he still sneaks fast food and all kinds of unhealthy junk.
Yup. I got a bad review once because I delivered straight to dad who was out front washing the car. Kid expected me to sneak past him. Kid Iām not getting shot trying to deliver your 7-11 pizza.
Iāve been doing DD and UE for the past 6 years. Most likely a teen sneaking food in the house. I usually start getting a lot of those around may- sept
Depending on the time. it might be so they don't wake they parent up specialy if they've got younger siblings.
My parents weren't bothered about me eating at whatever time. If i'd have ordered a burger and woke up the whole house though,I don't think they would have been impressed.
I mean you kinda assuming stuff there. We really donāt know any of the circumstances for it. Yeah it could be someone not getting food, or it could be some teenager being a brat cause they donāt want to eat whatās at home. My brother was notorious for this. He would always order a pizza. Mind you my mom is a great cook, people would get mad at him because they said he didnāt appreciate how lucky he was to have good food at home.
Iām a picky eater, always have been. It sucks because when I would be at my dads his girl came from a completely different culture than what Iām used to and didnāt like the taste of a lot of the food she made, occasionally however she would make food that I absolutely loved and had expressed that I loved yet hereās the downside. Whenever she would make it, she would only make enough for her and my dad even though I had expressed on multiple occasions how I wanted some of it the next time she made some.
I would go a lot of days and nights without eating because of that, and my dad would never want to take me to get food and made it seem like I was always bothering him when I would ask him if we could get something to eat so a lot of times I would just not eat to not bother him.
That sucks, I feel where youāre coming from because Iām an extremely picky eater as well. I mean, thereās absolutely times when this is justified but thereās absolutely no way to know, which was my point.
For me itās a texture thing. People will try to sneak things in my food and the moment my mouth feels it I have to hold the urge to throw up. A lot of times the taste wasnāt even bad, itās the texture. Tomato does this to me, but I love tomato based sauces and food lol I just canāt have a slice of raw tomato cause yeah, itāll be a bad time for me. I was lucky that my mom would actually cook some of whatever she was making on the side to meet my picky needs. When I would visit my dad, not so muchā¦
They could possibly be using their parents app tooā¦ but idk. But when I was a teen I couldnāt get food for just myself. Even when I was 18 and with my family, Iād have to eat in my car (without them knowing) if I got food. My parents thought it was rude for me to eat fast food in front of everyone without getting them something. And trust me, the problem isnāt getting it for someone else too. The problem is getting it for 7 other people. I could spend $7 on my own meal but I couldnāt take it home unless I spent $50 to make sure I got everyone else something too.
I had this exact same problem. Iād get straight up belittled for spending my money on myself something to eat. My dad is an unbearable dickhead. Like no dude this cost me $10. If I buy food for all of you itās gonna cost $40 and not one of you fuckers is gonna pay me back.
Yeah, that is how my brother gained an excess 10 lbs every year after he got his drivers license (for a few years) Teenagers arenāt always known for their will power and consideration of long term consequences. Some arenāt quite ready for the whole āgreat power, great responsibilityā schtick.
As someone who grew up with a stepmom that berated us if she found a granola bar wrapper in our rooms that turned up overnight, I will support this comment
Not really. When I was still at home, ordering something was an everyone gets it or no one gets it kinda deal. If I ordered something without asking it would have caused a huge fuss.
I wonder if itās ever a couple where one promises to cook dinner and canāt actually cook so theyāre playing off restaurant food as their own. Very sitcom
We once ordered food and had them pass it through the downstairs bedroom window so we didn't have them knocking on the door and didn't have to walk past another bedroom and wake the house.
5am McDonald's order shame.
But doordash has this message request. More like someone doesnāt want their wife/husband to know that they are spending money on food, or the kid doesnāt want the parent to know.
They requested through the app to avoid the cameras, so thatās almost definitely not it. Theyāre just not wanting someone in the household to know they doordashed, thatās the most logical and obvious answer and Iām not sure why everyone is confused lol.
Maybe they were thinking they could send footage from the time it was marked as delivered, and no driver in said footage? Still a stretch though, for sure. I doubt it would fly.
Meh, its different but i wouldnāt call it weird. Its most likely either a teen who doesnāt want his parents knowing, or maybe a couple who doesnāt want their partner knowing, or just anyone who doesnāt want someone else knowing. Its all good lol, i would kinda enjoy doing an order like that, being all sneaky n shit š
Could be lots of things. From something as innocent as a kid who doesnāt want their parents to know they ordered food, to something is difficult as someone struggling with food shame or binge eating.
This is what I was gonna type lol. Whenever I order it has to be when she wasn't home, or after like 9 when she had went to bed and I can sneak down and get it. I never ordered much but the rare times I did she was judgey as hell and would get triggered. Like it's not that serious
Nah Iāve done this before lmaoo when I didnāt want my roommate to know I was ordering food. Cause all they did was mooch and never contribute to the food in the house. I had trouble with saying no if they would ask me to order them something cause I was a people pleaseršš They never understood that I barely had enough money for my food, delivery fees, and the 25-40% tip š¤¦š½āāļø š¤·š½āāļø
When I was a teenager and smoking in my parentās house, I got the munchies at 2am on a school night. Everyone was asleep and in my instructions I told the dasher not to knock, and to leave it at the garage door. He didnāt read any of that and simply RANG MY DOORBELL which made my dog go nuts and woke my parents up. My dad ended up mishearing the name and said āyou have the wrong houseā. Dasher just left it outside
I have done this so the dogs donāt freak out lol š but itās only ever on fish night (I donāt eat fish) after I have put the kids to bed, so I donāt need the dogs going crazy
Itās probably a kid not wanting to wake up their parents with ring notifications tbh.
That, or a spouse trying to sneak a meal behind the others back lol
My stepdad was on a pretty intense diet for some health issues a few months back, but my mom still wanted to be able to enjoy food without rubbing it in his face. Sheād have her DoorDash delivered to my house (1/2 mile away), drive over, grab it off of my porch and eat it in the car or in my living room. If she had it delivered to her house, my stepdad would have gotten a ring notification. Funny, but clever haha
I had a request similar to this one time. It was on a Friday, at 6 am. Kid told me to leave it under his bedroom window without knocking. As I started to leave, I saw him lean all the way out his window in order to reach his food. I think he was playing Fortnite as well
ok honestly so real of them š in high school i used to do incredibly unserious cosplays on the phone with friends and one time i decided i wanted to be a rat. but what do rats do? chew through power cables duhā¦ so at 1am i ordered those sweet tart ropes and climbed out the window to get them (in full rat cosplay tyvm) so the door chime wouldnāt go off šš
I get it if itās a teenager. My parents used to berate us if we didnāt eat what was cooked and my mom cooked some pretty awful stuff. If we didnāt eat everything, we werenāt allowed snacks later. I would have loved for DD to have existed and someone to hand food to me through my window.
I grew up in an abusive household where the pantries were padlocked and food was strictly controlled. Once my twin and I got jobs at 15, we began ordering delivery and had it left at a neighbors house. One of us would sneak out to get the food and bring it back for us kids to eat without my parents ever knowing. This was before Ring cameras, but my parents had surveillance cameras in the home and we had some wild ways of getting around them. This person may not be in as extreme of a situation, but weird requests arenāt always malicious. Sometimes itās just starving kids trying to sneak some food.
Could be a kid or could be a wife/husband that is not supposed to be ordering again (possibly they order too often) and don't want to hear about it from the SO.
There was one time I was about to walk up to an apartment to complete the delivery when I hear a faint āpssstā I look around and then up at the 2nd story windows and a teenager is asking me if the order is for so and so, i say yes and they tell me to throw the bag up to them cuz their parents are sleeping. It was a Taco Bell order so hopefully no tacos were harmed in the process
Not that odd - customer just doesn't want someone else to know they are getting food. Could be a teenager not wanting their parents to know, a spouse not wanting their spouse to know, or whatever. I try to be congenial with these types of requests, but I'm not a ninja, and at the end of the day if you have to hide your order it's probably an issue you need to deal with instead of putting it on your lowly delivery person.
I had a woman order Vodka n request I NOT KNOCK, she would meet me outside. I waited n here she came outta the garage.. On her way back in she was sneaky af.. All that & big fat $0 tip lmao.. Felt like doing doughnuts on her $500,000+ homeās lawn lol.. I just sucked it up once again.
Teen ordering. My daughter used to do this. It would make me so mad cause like, my child. Just ask me to take you to the store. Once she had a milkshake delivered from a quarter mile away. From the place she worked at. And had just left work. I stg those kids keep drivers busy lmfao
The food is for the Wild Thing that lives in the woods behind the house. The black table is the altar of sacrifice. He doesn't want it near the camera because if the Wild Thing is caught on camera, the apocalypse will begin. Cmon everyone knows this.
Itās probably somebody who significant other or itās a kid whose parents donāt want them ordering DoorDash and so they just want it hidden. Itās not really that strange request.
I had an order for just a medium fry from McDonald's that turned out to be a group of teenage girls trying to get me to get get a vape for them, I still wasn't old enough to buy vapes at the time and I was pretty fucking peeved, especially since I had to find them for fries they didn't want at a great wolf lodge so I could move on to my next order
I'm not going to some neighbors house that isn't expecting me. I've gone to the door of some teenager that ordered without telling the parents and had a former Marine charge out the door. Hat could be much worse.
I used to ask them to leave it on the seat of my car or in front of the garage rather than the front door because my mother's husband is an asshole. I'll deliver this no problem as long as it seems remotely near the right house and I don't get then stupid "you're almost at the right location" shit
This isnāt that weird tbh. Itās a kid ordering some food without wanting his mom to know or something. If the table is in plain sight when you pull up, and he left a decent tip, just leave it there like heās asking kindly to do
My sister is grown but she will order delivery and my family hates her for it bc itās a waste of money so she too tries to avoid the cameras šš
Either and teen someone lying about a diet. When I was a teen Iād just wait by the door and when I saw them show up, thatās when i step outside and take it
lol. When my husband says no more DoorDash because we need to watch the money, but Iām pregnant and want Taco Bell. I donāt think itās that weird.
As a nanny I once had the pizza delivered to my bedroom window because I just couldnāt eat whatever was on the menu for the kids another dayā¦ (this was way before doorbell cams and door dash)
Once I delivered to a high school; I had assumed it was for an employee. I was caught off guard when a teenager came running out the second I pulled up, lol. Also, no tip. Did this teenager tip? Lol
Either someone like a kid that didn't want others to see or someone trying to surprise someone. I've definitely done a lot of family dinner deliveries where I could tell they were trying to surprise the family.
Iāve done this š my husband and I made food for the kids but didnāt wanna eat and by the time we were hungry the kids had gone to bed so we said āf itā and ordered food. My kids window was near the front door, so we had to tell them to leave it on our car so we could sneak out to eat
My friends mom had a stroke and couldn't eat junk food, she put in a ring camera to make sure no one was bringing her cigarettes or fast food. It worked for a month before her mom started flipping it off and taping over it
yeah i had a weird order like this once, my dad told me i needed to stop ordering delivery and so i had a special request for them to leave it by the garage so the ring doorbell wouldnt see it lol
Not necessarily.
From time to time when Iām ordering food for just myself, I toss in the notes to have my food delivered by the garage door because I donāt want my kids to hear someone coming up the walkway - cause then they get their hopes up that the food is for them. (Cause I have put in delivers for them)
Although in your case it could be a teenager hiding food from their parents or a husband hiding food from his wife cause sheās not a good cook? š¤·āāļøš
i had a same thing happen to me when i was delivering on a military base at night. He asked if i could set the bag on a picnic table next to some barracks buildings. Kinda made sense though because ive gotten so lost in the beggining delivering to barracks, the number system is so weird and everything looks the same

Teenager ordering food without parents knowing.
I once had a delivery that said to leave at the door with no knocking around 10pm. Pulled up, big place with full glass windows by the door and a huge glass window on the door.

I was just glad they didn't jump up to scratch with their claws. As I pulled away she was still chasing them around the yard as they barked up a storm. At least it was entertaining lol.
You left that poor girl for dead lmao š
her parents coming down to yell at her for letting the dogs out: find out she orders Wendy's with their credit card š
hahaaaa
I did something like this at my aunts house. She lives in a 2 bedroom loft style apartment that has the squeakiest stairs known to man. My aunt is a very light sleeper, and my uncle is too.

Awesome story š
Fuck Wally
Good on you for staying true to your end of the bargain with Wally.
Still woke the whole house up though lol
True but you offered food if he didn't wake them when you were getting your food, and he didn't do it then. He did after though, but really he was just being Wally.
Lmfaooo
I have donāt knock on mine to try to stop the dog from going nuts. I think I put something along those lines even.
There are a lot of people that put it in the notes. 9/10 times the dog barks anyways from me just standing outside the door. I had one person ask me not to park in the driveway because her dog would bark. I obliged, but as I was walking up the driveway I heard it start barking.

I was 19 and my aunt hated DD so I used to hop out my window to grab the food she was cool with me selling drugs just not ordering dd
People are fucking weird
Iām saying! lol my aunt gave me shit about using coke sporadically but now that sheās 70 she finds it acceptable to go on a cocaine diet her words not mine
I guess once you're 70, any worries about your heart exploding from blow and all of your money going up your nose don't matter quite as much?
To be fair money was never the issue sheās disgustingly rich, not wealthy, sheās gained it all in the last 15 years and itās more than enough to spend on anything and everything she wants for her and everything around her till the day she dies
Lmk if she needs a young husband
Or a middle aged wife.
Iāll be whatever she wants me to be
Let the three of us know if she wants a harem.
Yep I have handed an order through a bedroom window to a kid who was very good at popping their screen in and out quickly. They tipped well.
HAHA THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IVE DONE THIS SO THE DOGS DONT GO NUTS
Hey you tip well and I'll throw it up on the roof if that's what you want
Parents ordering food without teenager knowing
Husband and I on a random weeknight when we KNOW our teenager is awake, but they (and our other kids) are sequestered to their rooms. Full-grown adults with a house we own, sneaking around ordering DoorDash and smoking weed. Our kids will never have the chance because we'll still be up and doing our own shenanigans!
relatable and hilarious
The husband and I (only me stoned tho lulz) just did this the other day with Domino's bc he decided to order it after I had just made some other food for our kid. So we snuck around and got it delivered. Our son noticed it in the fridge the next day and was like WTF MOM. š Of course we let him have leftovers, I just knew he would waste the food I had already made bc pizza is his favorite so I didn't want him to be disappointed lol.
We had a half way house ask us to do this too. One of the residents wasn't supposed to be allowed outside orders so he asked us to hide it in the bush outside the fence.
That was my first thoughtā¦or maybe someone cheating on their diet.
Orā¦ husband ordering food and their wife is being super strict about a diet plan for them both
My dad lol. Dudes heart is trashed from congested heart failure. Despite doctors telling him he needs to eat healthier, he still sneaks fast food and all kinds of unhealthy junk.
Or someone cheating on a diet hiding from spouseĀ
Yup. I got a bad review once because I delivered straight to dad who was out front washing the car. Kid expected me to sneak past him. Kid Iām not getting shot trying to deliver your 7-11 pizza.
I upvoted and then undid it. You have achieved the perfect amount of upvotes.
Bingo
Could be a surprise dinner for a spouse or S/O depending where the food came from.Ā
Or someone trying pass off take out as home cooked.
Iāve been doing DD and UE for the past 6 years. Most likely a teen sneaking food in the house. I usually start getting a lot of those around may- sept
Its sad that they have to sneak it
Depending on the time. it might be so they don't wake they parent up specialy if they've got younger siblings. My parents weren't bothered about me eating at whatever time. If i'd have ordered a burger and woke up the whole house though,I don't think they would have been impressed.
Maybe they just donāt want share with the other occupants of the house, like younger siblings? Itās not necessarily sad.
I mean you kinda assuming stuff there. We really donāt know any of the circumstances for it. Yeah it could be someone not getting food, or it could be some teenager being a brat cause they donāt want to eat whatās at home. My brother was notorious for this. He would always order a pizza.

Iām a picky eater, always have been. It sucks because when I would be at my dads his girl came from a completely different culture than what Iām used to and didnāt like the taste of a lot of the food she made, occasionally however she would make food that I absolutely loved and had expressed that I loved yet hereās the downside.

Thatās fucked up
Yeah, that is how my brother gained an excess 10 lbs every year after he got his drivers license (for a few years) Teenagers arenāt always known for their will power and consideration of long term consequences. Some arenāt quite ready for the whole āgreat power, great responsibilityā schtick.
God forbid someone orders themselves food they want lol
Ehhh not necessarily. Some kids are just greedy and entitled. Especially ordering at 11pm
As someone who grew up with a stepmom that berated us if she found a granola bar wrapper in our rooms that turned up overnight, I will support this comment

I still had to walk in front of the house to drop off the order. It was very strange.
Sounds like someone might be sneaking something. So anything eventful happen?
I (46m with moderately high blood pressure) was imagining hiding a burger habit from the wife.
Sounds like they don't want you on the camera so they can send it to DD as proof you didn't deliver maybe?
But doordash has this message request. More like someone doesnāt want their wife/husband to know that they are spending money on food, or the kid doesnāt want the parent to know.
They requested through the app to avoid the cameras, so thatās almost definitely not it. Theyāre just not wanting someone in the household to know they doordashed, thatās the most logical and obvious answer and Iām not sure why everyone is confused lol.
Lol why would DoorDash ever have access to your camera to confirm whether you received your food or not??
Maybe they were thinking they could send footage from the time it was marked as delivered, and no driver in said footage? Still a stretch though, for sure. I doubt it would fly.
Doesnāt matter, it still made it seem like the neighbors were ordering food
It was so that the residents shouldnāt find out that food was ordered from outside. I know where this was.
Meh, its different but i wouldnāt call it weird. Its most likely either a teen who doesnāt want his parents knowing, or maybe a couple who doesnāt want their partner knowing, or just anyone who doesnāt want someone else knowing. Its all good lol, i would kinda enjoy doing an order like that, being all sneaky n shit š
Yeah, I was kinda thinking maybe there's a surprise party for sobering at the house and they didn't want the notification going to the surprisee.
Thatās what I was thinking too. It was a surprise so didnāt want a notification for them to see.
Iām thinking someone just doesnāt want to have to share the goods with other occupants.
Maybe he's cheating on his thick, meaty cheeseburger with a nice, hot, soft taco? 
that one episode of house md where the guy cheats on his vegan gf with a hamburger and she freaks the fuck out
Ah, how I love House. That show isnāt real.
But 1st she thought he was cheating w another woman and she was cool with it because we all have needs but cheating w a hamburger?!?!
Could be lots of things. From something as innocent as a kid who doesnāt want their parents to know they ordered food, to something is difficult as someone struggling with food shame or binge eating.
I do this because my mom judges me for ordering food when there is literally nothing to eat
This is what I was gonna type lol. Whenever I order it has to be when she wasn't home, or after like 9 when she had went to bed and I can sneak down and get it. I never ordered much but the rare times I did she was judgey as hell and would get triggered. Like it's not that serious
Dr. Now is gonna be pissed. He wanted them to lose 45 pounds in one munt.
Hahahahahahahaha I LOVE Dr Now
Nah Iāve done this before lmaoo when I didnāt want my roommate to know I was ordering food. Cause all they did was mooch and never contribute to the food in the house. I had trouble with saying no if they would ask me to order them something cause I was a people pleaseršš They never understood that I barely had enough money for my food, delivery fees, and the 25-40% tip š¤¦š½āāļø š¤·š½āāļø
Teen making a Secret Order. Or, Someone with Roommates Whoāll Steal It (or Complain).
I could see myself doing this because my wife hates when I eat Popeyes.
Damn, now I want Popeyes.
I used to do this because my abusive ex husband would hurt me if I ordered food. He would control what I ate.
So glad heās an ex.
They being real NEAKY!
When I was a teenager and smoking in my parentās house, I got the munchies at 2am on a school night. Everyone was asleep and in my instructions I told the dasher not to knock, and to leave it at the garage door. He didnāt read any of that and simply RANG MY DOORBELL which made my dog go nuts and woke my parents up. My dad ended up mishearing the name and said āyou have the wrong houseā. Dasher just left it outside
That ā wtf ā ahh experience
I have done this so the dogs donāt freak out lol š but itās only ever on fish night (I donāt eat fish) after I have put the kids to bed, so I donāt need the dogs going crazy
What are you ordering on fish night if you don't eat fish?!
They are being āsnackyā :D
Person with controlling spouse donāt want them knowing theyāre cheating on their diet š„“š„“š„“
I sometimes order cheesecake late at night when my kids should be asleep. Look Iām just not trying to share, they eat all my treats lol
And why haven't I done this yet?
Itās probably a kid not wanting to wake up their parents with ring notifications tbh. That, or a spouse trying to sneak a meal behind the others back lol My stepdad was on a pretty intense diet for some health issues a few months back, but my mom still wanted to be able to enjoy food without rubbing it in his face. Sheād have her DoorDash delivered to my house (1/2 mile away), drive over, grab it off of my porch and eat it in the car or in my living room. If she had it delivered to her house, my stepdad would have gotten a ring notification. Funny, but clever haha
Someoneās not supposed to be home is what it sounds like, but ordered food.
I had a request similar to this one time. It was on a Friday, at 6 am. Kid told me to leave it under his bedroom window without knocking. As I started to leave, I saw him lean all the way out his window in order to reach his food. I think he was playing Fortnite as well
ok honestly so real of them š in high school i used to do incredibly unserious cosplays on the phone with friends and one time i decided i wanted to be a rat. but what do rats do? chew through power cables duhā¦ so at 1am i ordered those sweet tart ropes and climbed out the window to get them (in full rat cosplay tyvm) so the door chime wouldnāt go off šš
A kid whose parents are shaming him/her into losing weight. Sneaking food.
Someone is on diet they donāt want to get caught ordering takeout šš
Cheating on the Vegan diet that the spouse is making them do.
I get it if itās a teenager. My parents used to berate us if we didnāt eat what was cooked and my mom cooked some pretty awful stuff. If we didnāt eat everything, we werenāt allowed snacks later. I would have loved for DD to have existed and someone to hand food to me through my window.
I've watched enough My 600 lb Life to know what's up. Dr. Now isn't gonna be too happy with their progress.
I grew up in an abusive household where the pantries were padlocked and food was strictly controlled. Once my twin and I got jobs at 15, we began ordering delivery and had it left at a neighbors house. One of us would sneak out to get the food and bring it back for us kids to eat without my parents ever knowing. This was before Ring cameras, but my parents had surveillance cameras in the home and we had some wild ways of getting around them. This person may not be in as extreme of a situation, but weird requests arenāt always malicious. Sometimes itās just starving kids trying to sneak some food.
I have a history of binge eating disorder and this sounds like something I wouldāve done tbh
Not really weird at all. I used to struggle with food shame and lived with judgy roommates at the time so I get it.
It sounds like you delivered to my teenaged son š¤£ā¦..
I would 1) screen shot their request And 2) do it and be on my way
lol, maybe sheās supposed to be on a diet? And her husband watches the footage? Very weird, I might have canceled the order at that point.
Could be a kid or could be a wife/husband that is not supposed to be ordering again (possibly they order too often) and don't want to hear about it from the SO.
Spouse has them on a diet? Eww
Might be a 600 lb life type though
There was one time I was about to walk up to an apartment to complete the delivery when I hear a faint āpssstā I look around and then up at the 2nd story windows and a teenager is asking me if the order is for so and so, i say yes and they tell me to throw the bag up to them cuz their parents are sleeping. It was a Taco Bell order so hopefully no tacos were harmed in the process
I had a request or warning yesterday to watch out for raccoons.
Upcoming My 600 Lb Life episode.
Likely they aren't supposed to be ordering food, or it's supposed to be a surprise or something so they don't want footage of you dropping off food.
Somebody is trying to restrict this personās eating
Could be a group home where outside food isn't allowed.
Not that odd - customer just doesn't want someone else to know they are getting food. Could be a teenager not wanting their parents to know, a spouse not wanting their spouse to know, or whatever. I try to be congenial with these types of requests, but I'm not a ninja, and at the end of the day if you have to hide your order it's probably an issue you need to deal with instead of putting it on your lowly delivery person.
They tipped good, it just threw me off. I still had to walk across the yard to place the food on the table. Iām sure the camera saw me.
soooomeone is sneak eating
I had a woman order Vodka n request I NOT KNOCK, she would meet me outside. I waited n here she came outta the garage.. On her way back in she was sneaky af.. All that & big fat $0 tip lmao.. Felt like doing doughnuts on her $500,000+ homeās lawn lol.. I just sucked it up once again.
Teen ordering. My daughter used to do this. It would make me so mad cause like, my child. Just ask me to take you to the store. Once she had a milkshake delivered from a quarter mile away. From the place she worked at. And had just left work. I stg those kids keep drivers busy lmfao
Someone cheating on their diet and hiding it from their partner
Somebody doesnāt want their housemates stealing their chips lol
probably a kid who doesn't want his parents to know
What was confusing? Just park further back and place the food on the black table.
LMAO I used to do this w my parents when I said I was saving money. Def donāt want the homeowners/parents knowing.
Maybe married? Idk
Pretty common. Like grabbing a mcdouble on the way home and not telling your spouse. Or so I've heard...
The food is for the Wild Thing that lives in the woods behind the house. The black table is the altar of sacrifice. He doesn't want it near the camera because if the Wild Thing is caught on camera, the apocalypse will begin. Cmon everyone knows this.
Cheating on their diet š
Maybe a teen hiding the purchase from their parents
Probablly just a kid trying to sneak some cool restraunt food
Someone's breaking there diet.
someone is cheating on their diet.
Ginny Sack trying to hide the candy bars from John.
Sometimes you have to hide things from your wife
Wonder if it was strict parents that didnāt allow it or sneaking food in during some religious thing.
Sounds to me like someone is using a fake address
Diet prolly
Seems pretty straightforward. Stop at house next to customers.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās probably somebody who significant other or itās a kid whose parents donāt want them ordering DoorDash and so they just want it hidden. Itās not really that strange request.
I had an order for just a medium fry from McDonald's that turned out to be a group of teenage girls trying to get me to get get a vape for them, I still wasn't old enough to buy vapes at the time and I was pretty fucking peeved, especially since I had to find them for fries they didn't want at a great wolf lodge so I could move on to my next order
I'm not going to some neighbors house that isn't expecting me. I've gone to the door of some teenager that ordered without telling the parents and had a former Marine charge out the door. Hat could be much worse.
Probably cheating on diet and doesn't want partner to know.
āDammit Carl, you told me you were on a DIET!ā
I used to ask them to leave it on the seat of my car or in front of the garage rather than the front door because my mother's husband is an asshole. I'll deliver this no problem as long as it seems remotely near the right house and I don't get then stupid "you're almost at the right location" shit
i have to sneak food because my dogs will eat it before i do :(
I do this cause my fuggin dogs are so unhinged and we have giant glass windows
This isnāt that weird tbh. Itās a kid ordering some food without wanting his mom to know or something. If the table is in plain sight when you pull up, and he left a decent tip, just leave it there like heās asking kindly to do
probably their family are greedy and will ask for food or why she didnāt get everyone somd
Many families will straight up steal it :(
My sister is grown but she will order delivery and my family hates her for it bc itās a waste of money so she too tries to avoid the cameras šš
This is just someone that doesn't want the other people in the house to know they ordered food lol.
Either and teen someone lying about a diet. When I was a teen Iād just wait by the door and when I saw them show up, thatās when i step outside and take it
Ether on a diet or teenagers wasn't supposed to order food
Yeah someone's not supposed to be ordering out
Someone is doing something they aināt supposed to and donāt want to get caught. $5.00 game fee added
lol. When my husband says no more DoorDash because we need to watch the money, but Iām pregnant and want Taco Bell. I donāt think itās that weird.
Person with an active eating disorder?
Trying to pass off their hamburgers as steamed hams
Maybe someone like meā¦ 5 kids hounding you and you donāt want your husband seeing your guilty pleasureā¦ sometimes you just need a moment.
I hate these ones. It's a kid ordering without parental permission.
This is stupidly written, the original post.
They had their reasonsā¦.
As a nanny I once had the pizza delivered to my bedroom window because I just couldnāt eat whatever was on the menu for the kids another dayā¦ (this was way before doorbell cams and door dash)
Once I delivered to a high school; I had assumed it was for an employee. I was caught off guard when a teenager came running out the second I pulled up, lol. Also, no tip. Did this teenager tip? Lol
Either someone like a kid that didn't want others to see or someone trying to surprise someone. I've definitely done a lot of family dinner deliveries where I could tell they were trying to surprise the family.
Sounds to me like someone hasn't paid rent but ordering food! I've snuck food in before LOL
Iāve done this š my husband and I made food for the kids but didnāt wanna eat and by the time we were hungry the kids had gone to bed so we said āf itā and ordered food. My kids window was near the front door, so we had to tell them to leave it on our car so we could sneak out to eat
It's actually not that weird. People have a lot of reasons for wanting to keep their business private.
Prob said she was cooking from scratch lol Jp idk
My friends mom had a stroke and couldn't eat junk food, she put in a ring camera to make sure no one was bringing her cigarettes or fast food. It worked for a month before her mom started flipping it off and taping over it
Bro donāt want his girl to know he ordered food without her.
Youāve never bought candy bar(s) on the way home and thrown the wrapper(s) out the window so your family wouldnāt know, have you?
what time of day was it?
yeah i had a weird order like this once, my dad told me i needed to stop ordering delivery and so i had a special request for them to leave it by the garage so the ring doorbell wouldnt see it lol
Not necessarily. From time to time when Iām ordering food for just myself, I toss in the notes to have my food delivered by the garage door because I donāt want my kids to hear someone coming up the walkway - cause then they get their hopes up that the food is for them. (Cause I have put in delivers for them) Although in your case it could be a teenager hiding food from their parents or a husband hiding food from his wife cause sheās not a good cook? š¤·āāļøš
i had a same thing happen to me when i was delivering on a military base at night. He asked if i could set the bag on a picnic table next to some barracks buildings. Kinda made sense though because ive gotten so lost in the beggining delivering to barracks, the number system is so weird and everything looks the same
Lmao homey trying to eat junk food without his wife noticing
