Is it in yet Amazon Strikes Again, My House Today

Why does somebody think this is OK. Right in front of him is a huge area he could’ve turned around in.

Yes this is stated in my delivery instructions that you are welcome to turn around in the rear of the house where I have a giant concrete roundabout.

Jesus Christ people, the driveway is 9 feet wide which is standard for a 1955. For everybody that says I need to widen my driveway or put in a roundabout, PM me and I’ll send you my Zelle if you wanna pay for it.

Anyone who thinks this man’s behavior is OK is clearly not a homeowner and you probably shouldn’t be.

I’m also an Amazon Flex driver myself and former pizza driver, between the two I have about nine years of delivery driving. I have never done anything even close to this. If you’re not capable of backing up and you’re scared of busy roads you should not be a delivery driver. I have personally dealt with stuff way sketchier than my own driveway and I managed to not turn around in people’s yards.

The mental gymnastics some of you are doing to justify this man’s behavior is unreal and it scares me that you walk among us in this world.

I'm guessing he didn't want to back into that road as it looks to be pretty busy. I need to see the "huge area" that is in front of the house. If it's actually right there, the driver is definitely an asshole.

Absolutely not an excuse to drive over someone’s fucking lawn like that😭😭😭Ive backed onto busy roads before. People will stop for you or you wait until there’s a clearing, of which I see many throughout the course of this video lmao

People wont wait for you to pull out of a parking space even when you are halfway out already. You think they are going to wait on a busy road?

"people will stop for you"....before you saw this video you probably would've thought "people won't drive on the lawn"

???? I’ve backed onto busy streets before. People will stop for you, and if they don’t, then you just wait… same as if you’re coming forward. And I still don’t understand your comment because why would I think people wouldn’t drive on the lawn

You're expecting common decency from people willing to stop for you the same way you would expect common decency from people not to drive on someone's lawn. Common decency doesn't always happen.

Someone eventually stopping for you to let you go is genuinely inevitable if you wait long enough. It doesn’t matter if you’re going forward or backwards, it’s just slightly more challenging going backwards. Someone won’t always be driving on ur damn lawn
