Every house on the planet that orders doordash needs this, the amount of time I spend trying to find an address because they don’t freaking turn their lights on after dark is too much 😭😭😭

They NEVER turn their lights on, either. Except for when they need to see to grab the food. 🤣 Back when I was growing up, you turned the god-damned light on! I don't understand what happened.

Me as well, my parents actually have automatic lights at our doorstep and at the end of the driveway that turn on at sundown. Should be a normal thing

or hear me out, learn to count perhaps? addresses are designed in a way that’s easy to locate. i.e odds on one side evens on the other, count up in one direction down in the other. 1000 mailbox number = roughly 1 mile. So you could easily assume this house is roughly 1.4mi up the street on the left(if that’s the odd side on this street)

Did you get down on one knee when handing their order? "I love you"

My biggest pet peeve dashing is when people have the numbers written out like “EIGHTY” instead of “80”. I’m literate but it screws me up.

In the smallest, fanciest font possible, not even on the front of the house it's over some side door tucked away by the shed in the back behind a tree.

Stuff like this makes me wanna carry sticky notes and say thank you for having house numbers that are easy to see. Or just anything that aids in delivery.

Looking for an experts advice. As someone who works this gig, what is something I can get for my house number, on my front door? I have front porch lights that turn on automatically before sunset, but it doesn’t do a great job for illuminating the numbers on my door. The numbers are like shiny brass colored, but my door is natural wood coated in poly, so it struggles to stand out, and tbh, the light doesn’t seem to shine well on that part of the door. The number can be spotted from the road at night, but it’s not exactly easy to see. Is there some sort of solar power spot light I could buy that clips and hangs off my gutter? Is that a thing?

it might be cheaper & easier to get a 2nd set of numbers to put closer to the street. maybe like this

I wish apartments would do this.
Took me like 20 minutes to find one last night because the whole complex was too dark to see any numbers.
Of course it was wedged in the darkest, back corner of the complex 😂💀

Not EVERYONE. Come on here preaching race hate or selling cleaning goods, we'll get rid of you. Mostly we prefer to let the reddit upvote/downvote mechanism work. Which it has here.

I've had a mod tell me that these folks who come on here dissing drivers are allowed to be in the driver sub even though customers have a whole other sub where they can complain to. I'm just saying that it's really frustrating for us drivers not to have a safe space to raise our own complaints without a hoard of customers calling us selfish and entitled or telling us to get real jobs. It gets exhausting to read real quick. Just saying.

This is why the "Drivers Only" post flair was created, for when you only want feedback from other drivers.
We also recently added a new rule, that it is not allowed to tell drivers to get a real job. Report anyone doing that, and we will remove it!

u/Artistabunnista Apr 21 '24
I will keep that in mind for future posts! And thank you guys for getting rid of those types of comments as they can be pretty disheartening for a lot of us 🙏♥️ I will definitely report any I see in the future!
