My favourite delivery story to happen to me was when I'd ordered something, and actually had the day off so I could make sure I got it. I'd ordered things from them before, and they had a habit of leaving 'you were out, call to reschedule' cards.
I saw the van pull up out the window, headed for the door, and the delivery guy just posted the 'you were out' card through the slot, then walked away. No knock, no doorbell.
I opened the door and headed for the van, the guy saw me, and actually ran back to the van and drove off before I could reach it.
I got the registration, and an hour and forty minutes of angry phone calls later, the van came back, and the guy actually delivered the package.
The best day to rob literally ANY other store. Like, you see the sign and you should immediately think, "Nah, I'll go rob the Best Buy across town," not, "This is my Everest!"

why not just like... deliver the package at that point?

My guess is either laziness or time quotas. Faster to just jam the card in and move on, so you can finish your deliveries faster, either to just finish your work faster, or to avoid getting penalised for taking too long.

I think the question is "Why not just deliver the package after you got caught being lazy?". At that point, probably to just avoid confrontation of your actions I guess.
My parents worked in the delivery transport service, so I've heard stories and have a degree of sympathy. Apparently residential deliveries are just always a royal pain, mainly for the obvious reason that nobody's home most of the time. Knowing that has made some things I've experienced make sense. Time quotas are also a big thing. I've had a few deliveries where it's coming on 6PM and it's still saying it's on the truck, but no doubt the driver is leaving it to the very last to up the chances somebody is home from work. Or another where the guy knocked on the door but didn't actually take the package off the truck yet. In those cases though they were large, heavy packages and clearly they were checking to see if somebody was home before expending the effort to take it out. So somebody working smarter, not harder.

To be fair, did he see you come out of the house? I'm driving a truck full of expensive packages and some dude comes at me yelling, "Hey!" I think I might GTFO rather than ask what's up.

I had someone put a non-postal delivery in my mailbox once, so they didnt have to get out of their vehicle..Something i only learned after i noticed it was reported delivered that evening, and took forever to hunt down because who the fuck would look in the mailbox for a non-postal delievery.
Now, if you are unfamiliar with American law and why this is an issue.. the only people who may place items inside, upon, or hanging from a mailbox is a authorized postal worker, and only when those parcels and correspondence is properly stamped and processed.
This act of lazy time saving could have cost the company 10,000, and possibly more if it was part of a pattern, postal service takes a very dim view of people violating their space and the laws surrounding it.

He started running the instant I opened the front door.
He just didn't want to have the "What the fuck are you doing' discussion that he was clearly about to have.

Some people live for the challenge, man.

Almost wish I'd had reported it.

All I can think is, they must have abs of steel :razz:
May not be safe for work or the squeamish.
Edit: Let's not forget what we did to Mr. Happy, either.
Aaaaaaaaaa nooooooooope.
A mystery!
If its the latter, im on my way!
Ew, no, don't put Pepsi in your mouth. Gross.

It has been the eternal struggle.
For a while, there are feel good stories about things going awry, only to be rectified in the ending paragraph.
Then eventually we descend into mashed members and things up people's butts.
The good part is that none of these happened to me.
Or, presumably, other people that I know.
Have you never loaded a lawn mower into a vehicle?
Many times but I always wear pants when I do.
Yea, I've done this a few times. Loaded a mower into my trunk that is. I am unsure how your dong gets out and put in harm's way.
Tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall down a manhole and die.
WHY IS THIS A THING
Are they on the inside or the outside? I'm not sure which sounds worse.
It sounds like going down that rabbit hole does not lead to Wonderland. Only to confusion and despair.
