“Am I wrong to be irked?” wrote Reddit user One-Boysenberry6412. They further shared, “Maybe this happens more often than I'm aware of but I felt uncomfortable in receiving this message even after my order had been dropped off. I shared this screenshot with my friends, and they said it's whatever but it made me feel uncomfortable to the point that I'm not sure if I'm going to order Doordash for a while (which is kinda good for me tbh). Mainly posting for validation that it's not something to easily brush off when someone knows where you live! I reported the dasher for unprofessional conduct.” In the post, they also shared a screenshot where the delivery agent asked them if they have a boyfriend.

Take a look at the post here:

An individual wrote, “And that's why no contact delivery is such a popular choice even without covid.” A second shared, “This is why I, and virtually every woman I know, always choose no contact delivery. No thanks.” A third commented, “Absolutely. The fact that he knows where you live is what makes it super inappropriate. How do we know he's not a straight-up stalker? It's not okay to do this during a business transaction. I would report him so door dash can blacklist him from delivering to you.” Another commented, “This is why I select door drop off only. And if you call me, I'm not coming out. And I changed my name on the app to a man's name.”
