i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.

and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.

    Isn’t it how it works ?

    The guy rings my appartment or gives a phone-call, and I have to come down to open the door anyway. Sometimes they’re smart enough to call in advance so we know they are coming, and sometimes I discover that I have a package a day when I’m not available so it ends-up being at the pick-up point

      If there’s a delivery, they usually call so you have time to get dressed and get down (because it’s always easily in the morning). That’s normal for package delivery, at least. I’ve never ordered food though.

      why wouldn’t the package delivery just leave the package at your door? do you need to sign for your packages?

        Because i live in an apartment building. Rich folks with a house don’t want their package stolen or rained on

        Often I need to sign, when not I live in a (semi) large building in the city centre, if noboly open the door to the delivery person they won’t let it in the street. Sometimes, they let it in the hallway, but I am never comfortable with it. Rather walking 5 minutes to the post office/pick up point
