A UPS delivery driver left people in hysterics with a note for a customer after attempting a parcel drop off.
The message, which was shared by a meme page on X, formerly Twitter, read: “I just fell so bad on your porch. Watch the Ring camera for a good laugh. LOL. Text me the video please.”
United Parcel Service (UPS), is an international package delivery company which offers services for businesses and residents. It delivers packages to commercial and residential addresses.
The note from the driver was written on a ‘Sorry we missed you’ slip which lets customers rearrange deliveries. Now a picture was shared online which racked up a staggering 25million views and 520,000 likes.
It has also got nearly 2,000 comments and has been retweeted 16,000 times. Several commenters had the same idea about why the delivery driver left this note.

One X user said: “That’s a crafty way to get the evidence for a slip-and-fall lawsuit!” Another added: “That’s hilarious. Glad to see that instead of a ‘I’m going to sue’ message.”
A third echoed: “Yeah I’ll shoot that evidence right over so you can sue me” and a fourth user commented: “Fall victim doesn’t want the video for a good laugh. Believe me. They want it for a good claim or lawsuit.”
The post doesn’t clarify the circumstances around the note so it is not clear how the driver ‘fell’ or if they had a bad fall leading to any injuries. Another user who saw the post had sympathy for delivery drivers.
They said: “I live in an icy/snowy area and have so much respect for delivery drivers. People need to ensure their steps, walks and driveways are cleared and treated.”
Some X users shared stories in the comment section about their own experiences with delivery drivers. One claimed: “I found a very large box on our porch. I assumed it was for husband and ignored it.
“In fact it had a tiny label saying it was for next door. I suspect delivery man just dumped it where sat nav puts the post code, which is us.”
Another person shared a photo of a note they got from their delivery driver which says: “This item is too heavy. I am over 50 with high blood pressure and a bad lower spine. I cannot do it.”
An X user, who said he is an Amazon delivery driver, shared a ring doorbell video in the comment section of the post of a time when he delivered a parcel to a residential customer but slipped as he went down the snow-covered stairs of the porch and landed on his back. He captioned the video: “I deliver for Amazon and I did the same but I got the video ten minutes after.”
One user who saw this video replied: “I know you laid on the ground for those few seconds just before the pain kicked in.” The Amazon deliver driver responded: “Seriously though thought I had broken my back but turned out to be nothing serious thank goodness. I returned delivering the next morning.”
