The time I was a hot shot delivery driver.
Post Body

Holy crap. Iā€™ve been looking for places to vent about the stuff Iā€™ve seen.

I have a few good stories but they pertain to other situations. So if you like what you possibly check them out!

Background: so strap in itā€™s gonna be a bumpy ride. So I recently got laid off from my delivery driver job at a company whoā€™s name shall remain anonymous. I would pretty much take amounts of lumber and construction materials that were too small for our semi drivers. We would deliver to a lot of places around the dfw area. about 5 months in I got an order for a site in a nicer residential area. I picked out the product I needed to take out there and drove out that way.

The moment: I get out to the site and start dropping the product at the site and out comes Karen.

Karen: hey I need your workers to keep it down with their nailguns or whatever tool theyā€™re using.

Me:obviously confused Iā€™m sorry. I donā€™t work for the builders. You must have me mistaken fo-

Iā€™ll preface this now. We had to wear a uniform like most customer service guys at the office because technically we were still customer service which in my opinion is bullshit but hey I donā€™t make the rules. She must have taken my devilishly good looks as someone who is a manager. Before I could get the words out of my mouth she says.

Karen: Iā€™ve seen you here before and talk to the workers. So donā€™t give me that crap. I need to take my 12 o clock nap and itā€™s disturbing my slumber.

Me: maā€™am. Like I was going to say I donā€™t work for the builders. If you have a problem with the noise, you need to talk with them. The construction office is somewhere around here.

Karen: no I need you to give your corporate number now.

So now the gears in my head start a turning. I give her the personal number to my manager. She has the most shit eating grin Iā€™ve ever seen. I drop the rest of my product and leave. I get back after my run and he pulls me aside and asks me if I gave a lady his number. I asked him what she said. He just burst out laughing and said ā€œI have never had so much fun convincing a lady Iā€™m gonna fire youā€. I didnā€™t get fired Btw Karen so fuck you lolšŸ˜‚.

Edit: seriously did not expect to get so many upvotes lol. I appreciate them my doods and doodettes.
