THE DRIVEWAY NOTE
A delivery note with blunt driveway instructions sparks tension, but a compliant driver and a grateful customer end with a clean delivery, a tip, and a surprisingly pleased verdict.
Follow the note or use the driveway?

A driver hit a delivery note that read like a tiny warning label: "I think they dont want me to use their driveway just a hunch."
The poster said they "found these instructions to be hilarious," and the note seemed to carry the scars of past drop-offs. By the poster's read, "clearly some of their past dashers didn't read the note," which explained why the message had to be so blunt in the first place. The exact wording wasn't reproduced in full, but the point came through loud enough: use the instructions, not the driveway.
This time, the delivery went the way the customer wanted. The person on the other end, according to the poster, was "awesome" and followed the directions without issue. No argument, no confusion, no rolling up the driveway anyway. Just a clean delivery.
Then came the small bonus that made the whole thing land even better. The customer tipped afterward "for following instructions," turning a simple compliance note into a surprisingly pleasant exchange.
By the end, the poster had one final verdict for the order itself: "great order."
What started as a suspiciously pointed driveway instruction ended as a smooth delivery, with a tip and a story the poster clearly enjoyed enough to share.
