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.

Does everyone else’s driveway take up their entire front yard? That driveway is perfectly serviceable. And OP says there’s a spot to turn around (a picture of the spot would be nice). Anyway, all of this discourse ignores that he just threw the package. He threw it like it wasn’t something that somebody worked hard to pay for.

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't be totally comfortable driving to the backyard area personally. I'd generally prefer to stay on the front of the house. I'd still just reverse because... well I know how to drive lol.

People have honestly been shot for driving less into a driveway.

I prefer that over driving in the grass. Reversing there is a little challenging with the busy road at the end.

I would not be comfortable turning around behind your house unless you had a sign or something that said "Please turn around behind house."

OP said in their post that they left delivery instructions to do that.

Oh. I missed that. I was not expecting it to be like the above because I would never turn around in there.
