Delivery drivers… Don’t be this guy.
Sometimes, women despair. And when you hear what these dirty delivery drivers have been up to, the despair is felt strongly, and rightly so.
Not the right idea of romance
A former model living in Wolverhampton has been left fearing for her safety.
How? Well, let’s just say it’s a little creepy. A delivery driver from Iceland felt it was a good idea to send her a romantic proposal by text message. This was following a delivery slot when he dropped off her groceries.
As the lady in question was clinically vulnerable and didn’t feel comfortable shopping in-store at groceries during the height of the pandemic, she found herself feeling vulnerable in other ways, too.
Now, the scenario might sound harmless to some, but to a woman living on her own, it can be quite frankly, rather scary. This delivery driver not only knew her name, and her number, but due to the nature of his work, also knew where she lives. Yet, she knew nothing about him.
Whilst it may sound like a good idea on paper, these sorts of messages should really be thought through properly. Especially if your idea of a lovely date is proposing to meet in the local park the next day. Not dodgy at all, mate.
The poor lady felt so vulnerable and overwhelmed by the situation that she sought legal action. Whilst nothing has come of it so far, let’s hope it’s certainly enough to scare off others from a copycat scenario.
Another day, another inappropriate advance
Over in Fife, a van driver has had to go to court, for – yep, you guessed it – another shady proposal made to an innocent woman. This time it was in broad daylight.
This delivery man thought he’d try his hand at a far more sinister request, and went straight to asking for an exchange in monies, and well… We’ll let you guess the rest.
He then had the audacity to pretend he had a brain tumour and didn’t have long to live.
We didn’t think people actually used that as a line in real life.
