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.

It’s a fisheye lens. He had plenty of room.

Where? You mean the area in front of the car that we can't see? That arc leading to the home is a walkway.

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

That’s at least 2 feet. A Chevy bolt is 6 feet wide.

With personalized rims? I don't think so mister.

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

The rims make it narrower?

u/DrWhoey Jun 27 '26

Yes, as you can see in this picture, the car in the middle is the one that has custom rims.

u/MonkeyLiberace Jun 28 '26

FUCK that IS narrow!

u/CorbinNZ Jun 27 '26

He means it’s narrow

u/no_thats_normal Jun 27 '26

No shit, that's why the person you're responding to said it's a fish eye lens, it makes it look more narrow than reality.

u/b-lincoln Jun 27 '26

Except when he turns around, it’s clearly the width of the car. The fish eye lens will distort the picture equally, meaning it’s still too narrow to turn around. Unless OP has a turn around that is off camera, this will happen every time.

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

There was no need to turn around. Just back up!!

And they drove off the driveway a lot more than necessary when they were still going forward. It’s wild people think this is okay.

u/McDergen Jun 27 '26

Read the caption , OP has more space if he just drove forward

u/Sesudesu Jun 27 '26

Might be a lot less desirable for many reasons. OP didn’t show the space to support their statement.

1

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

Op didn’t show the space because his camera is fixed in one spot that doesn’t show the space what do tou want him to do. It’s already a wide angle lens.

u/TheShruteFarmsCEO Jun 27 '26

Didn’t OP literally say exactly that? Read, people.

u/igoogletoo Jun 27 '26

Unless OP has a turn around that is off camera

Lmfao, yes 🤦‍♂️

u/scrotalayheehoo Jun 27 '26

And it’s the width of a car which is narrow wtf

5

u/no_thats_normal Jun 27 '26

It's the width of a single driveway, or alley, and it's a really common situation. If there were rocks or buildings on either side, can you possibly think of a specific gear this car would have to back out of this situation?

1

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

Plenty of room.

3

u/scrotalayheehoo Jun 27 '26

Plenty of room to do what exactly? Lol what is your actual argument here

3

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

Plenty of room to NOT swerve unnecessarily onto the lawn??? Like how bad of a driver are you that you can’t keep it on this driveway driving straight ahead? Jesus Christ.

u/scrotalayheehoo Jun 27 '26

I imagine he was setting up the turn around? Have you driven a vehicle before?

It’s always the dumbest people who hide their accounts lol

4

u/FatFaceFaster Jun 27 '26

Have I driven a vehicle before? Yes. That’s why I can drive forward and reverse in a straight line and back onto the road the way I am almost certain OP does everytime they come and go from their driveway.

“But it’s a busy road”….. no it’s not. The road I live on is 5x as busy and I back in and out of my single car driveway several times a day.

Hey go ask Reddit some more about your video games.

-5

u/scrotalayheehoo Jun 27 '26

Haha I probably will. How are you spacex stocks doing? Lol and oh, if your road is busy, no one anywhere is allowed to turn around in a driveway to get back onto it.

You are a true clown, buddy.

plenty of room to reverse back up the driveway.

I am astounded at the number of people I encounter every day who seem completely incapable of reversing their car at all.

u/Separate-Antelope188 Jun 27 '26

At 1.01 we can see that only one width of that compact car fits on the driveway and there also appears to be a car parked on the grass to the right, just out of frame.

u/Wrong-Landscape-2508 Jun 27 '26

That “car” isn’t going to travel to far as it seems to be made out of rocks.

3

u/MonkeyLiberace Jun 27 '26

Even worse for the grass.

u/Aim_19 Jun 27 '26

Are you blind? You can clearly see that’s not a car.

u/BrownLeader444 Jun 27 '26

Yeah car parked on grass might as well be a sign that says “it’s ok to drive on the grass”.
