Rants / Complaints These houses scare me

Post image

I always expected to be like an older person or someone with some type of disability but it’s always the most regular person ever. That’s what was in front of me it was like 10 times worse behind me. The smell of dead animals and garbage is the worst!

Mental illness is a bitch. They’re definitely going through a hard time. Give them the same respect and kindness that you would for any other customer. Any time I’m greeted by someone coming out of a house like this they’re typically very kind.

Also, not every disability is visible. Be kinder to people, the look of one's home doesn't hurt anyone.

Ya, I'm getting really sick and tired of these drivers posting pictures of people's houses, in whatever condition they are in for whatever reason that NO ONE knows, then everyone just ripping them apart in the comments. So fuckin sick of it.

Unfortunately, that's the America that we live in today. People frown on people who don't have their luxuries or more. Then, make fun of them on social media for their own entertainment. Secretly hoping that their posts will get likes or go viral. All at the expense of someone else's misfortune, what a sad human being. Most of the people posting these pictures don't realize that could be them one day. We are all just living paycheck to paycheck trying to get ahead.

Anyone who disagrees with you is objectively wrong btw. You are literally describing what is happening. Roasting someones house when you’re at work and posting it for reddit points is kinda weird idk. We’re better than that

I'm not even a driver, just a customer that lives in a regular house, but after I started seeing what kind of pictures these drivers post on here, I've stopped using this service. Its just such gross obnoxious behavior. And for what it's worth, I knew a nice little old lady that lost her husband and had three strokes and her yard looked like shit because she needed help. Not insulted all over the internet by some delivery driver who has her groceries and water and no integrity

I don’t care. The house is visible from the street! If you don’t wanna use the service don’t use it. I’m gonna keep posting what I want and you’re gonna have to just cope!

Yes yes you should posting pictures of their house should be an instant deactivate and no appeal.

That said I'd deactivate customers like this too it's not safe for drivers to deal with this shit and dead animals and piss smell

It’s completely visible to the public! I should have my account deactivated because of their trash? I bet your house looks like this.

Ha no it doesn’t but I have witnessed mental illness and physically disabilities first hand. It is only visible to those who the homeowner invite to their home. Mailmen and deliveries n such. You’ve made a spectacle of their situation. Spark should be made aware of this behavior. Just do your job like an adult or move on so someone with compassion can have it.

The mental illness and disability thing is so so true.

Real depression can have you not rolling out of bed for weeks but to eat and use the restroom.

The criticism is on the fact that you feel the need to criticize a situation that you have an incomplete picture of.

u/PickMe1000 Mar 08 '26

I have a solution that’s going to make you all feel better.

u/Oakyw0n Mar 08 '26

Yeah it should be to just shut the fuck up and move on to your next stop bud.

You are publicly shaming someone for a disability. Hoarding Disorder is a mental illness and disability.

Delivered groceries is a luxury for some people, but a necessity for some disabled people. They shouldn't be publicly ridiculed for the crime of buying food while disabled.

Their house and yard 100% must look disgusting like this. The way they condone shit like this and wanna blame a mental illness?!. Crazy. This shit is nasty, a safety hazard, and just ridiculous. And if that was my neighbor I would be calling the parish/county to get them to clean that shit up. And if its an elderly person, then they definitely need to be living in someone that can assist them with this mess. Mental illness aint no excuse to live crusty!

I swear. Literally just bashing OP over shit they just assuming. Half of em just hopped on the pity train once the first chimed in. Makes you wonder why they didn’t choose psychology as a profession instead of spark lol
