"y'all Are Kind Of Pathetic And Lazy." R/doordash Users Fiercely Debate The Social Contract Of Meeting A Pregnant Dasher At Her Car After Op Shares Message Exchange

Some commenters with experience in high risk pregnancies weigh in.

Lmaoooo i had 2 high risk pregnancies, high risk usually means home confinement. Driving around all day making deliveries could be uncomfortable after a while.

Like how is she getting out of the car to get the food? Is there not a fall risk when she’s doing that part? Lmao this is so wild

I assume they mean customers properties which are not always easy to navigate. When I delivered food I fell down their porch steps cuz it was dark, since people also hate even turning on their porch lights for drivers.

It says she's in the drive thru

Not all of her orders will be drive thru though.

then don't doordash? i'm confused ???? especially if the person has "leave at door" as their option, could she not decline the order & take one that didn't mind retrieving the order themselves?

That’s my point. Why even doordash? Inconveniencing the customers because you’re supposed to be at home is kinda crazy. There’s no way to cherry pick orders with doordash so why? I used to sit my tail at home, I found a bs online job 3 months in that paid $12 & that was that.

That’s not true at all ???? high risk means just about anything. Over 35? High risk. High blood pressure? High risk. Diabetes? High risk. Twins? High risk. Smoker? High risk. Depression? High risk.

All 4 of my pregnancies were high risk and I never had a fall... this seems weird. If I needed help it would be because I was 9 months along and could barely move because I was the size of a whale lol.

There are a million different reasons to be high risk though, not sure what reason would contribute to falling but I’m sure it’s possible. Lol

As a counterpoint, a couple of commentors point out that not everyone has the luxury to stop working during a high risk pregnancy.

This person should not be driving then if they have a high risk pregnancy

I don't think the cost of food and bills really give a shit about that.

They definitely do not. I had to work through all 9 months of my high risk pregnancy because the bills didn’t give a fuck that I was falling apart lol

This is the part that gets me. Does this suck as a customer? Yeah I’m sure. But pregnant women still have bills. I can promise that 95% of them would MUCH rather sit at home and be pregnant without worry, but it’s not an option. (Leaving 5% for those work crazy ppl that can’t stand sitting at home lol) Door dash would be something easier to make a little money from when you can’t commit to a constant job with more physically demanding tasks. So many people are struggling these days, yet everyone’s first reaction to anything is to completely withhold any and all empathy and expect perfection.

Others question the veracity of her claim of being pregnant in the first place.

Anyone else think she’s not actually pregnant? This is a good way to scam for extra tips and have people come out instead of having to bring food directly to people - saves time and effort

Probably a 60% chance a lazy man was the dasher who sent this lmao.

It’s easy to have no empathy for others when you presume everyone is lying straight out of the gate lol.

She been using that graphic for two years

Inevitably, some aspects of the discussion orient around the idea of parental entitlement, with the conversation in some places almost becoming a full on debate on anti-natalism.

Why do people make their kids, unbaked or not, everyone else’s problem lol

For real. How does getting creampied constitute getting treated better than somebody else.

Deleted comment, but to paraphrase, commentor stated that if they were in that situation, they wouldn't care and that if you can't do the job you shouldn't have sex, in more vulgar terms than that.

This is such a nasty way to phrase this

Gonna get down voted I don’t care but the level of hatred towards another human being for being vulnerable is unmatched in this thread. Ofcourse the casual misogyny too. I’m sure this dasher sure as hell don’t want to deliver orders when she’s pregnant but she probably has to for reasons. I’m a childfree person but my god y’all act like fucking ghouls if you have to slightly inconvenience yourself for the sake of somebody. What the fuck happened to being kind?? And no I’m not talking about disabled people unable to go down and receiving their order. That’s not on them

But it's literally what happened. You shouldnt get extra help with your job cuz you decided to have sex one night unprotected. Why do I have to be "nice" about it?

Why does someone being pregnant make you SO angry? Is more of my point

It’s not the fact that she’s pregnant but it’s that she expects strangers to cater to her for it.

Do you feel the same way about a pregnant person who has to take a crowded bus?

We live in a society. A little consideration for others is part of the social contract. Everyone being so me, me, me, all the time is why everything sucks right now.

it's harsh but it's reality. Modern women don't want to take accountability for their bad decisions. By picking a good man in the first place, they wouldn't become a single mom in the first place.

A few commentors state that this would not be that much of an inconvenience for them, if it means they can help someone.

The world is so wild. This would not phase me.. sure I’ll take 10 steps out my front door to get my food to help a struggling pregnant woman. Maybe she’s lying, but I would rather very very very slightly inconvenience myself than be a POS. People suck so bad.

Yeah I agree, which will probably get me downvoted. I see it from both sides though, though I will be honest and say people are weird as fuck about children and mothers in general on the internet. Some nasty ass person said how is it their problem she got creampied into..maybe it’s just me but that’s a disgusting way to talk about another person.????????‍♀️

I know, I get both sides-I really do. Do I think it’s alittle much? Sure. But I cannot bear to be one of these disgusting people on here. I always thought the “people really hate women/mothers” thing was far fetched.. but it’s so real.

What if you couldn't take those steps?

You’re telling me everyone on this sub complaining can’t take ten steps? That’s wild.

Ugh. I hate this comment section. Walking a few feet to pick up an order isn’t that hard. Also u were rude for no reason

She’s able to walk into the restaurant to pick up food??

I don’t understand this logic. Why can’t i make the work of someone who’s probably already struggling , a little bit easier by just walking out of my house?

What if the person that's paying for a service to have food dashed to their DOOR is also a high risk pregnancy that's on bed rest?

Making up fictional scenarios to justify this type of behavior? If that were to be true then it can be kindly conveyed over a text message.

So fuck the people that are disabled that pay to have food delivered to their door?

Bonus thread.

“Unsassign from my order rn” ???? didn’t even give them a chance

Why give someone a chance when they flat out tell you they're not going to do the job they were hired to do?

What are you talking about?

Why is everyone so up in arms about not just going and grabbing the food from them?

Y'all are kind of pathetic and lazy

Imagine doing the job you signed up for, must be too hard

If the person ordering delivery wanted to get it themselves, they would've gotten it themselves instead of paying to have it brought to them. It says a lot more about a person refusing to do a service which was paid for, than the person who paid for a service and isn't getting it

Order was still brought to them idiot, id throw your order across your front lawn.
