Amazon delivered a package to a burning home and had the chance to play hero! However, did they do the right thing?

Well, if minding their own business and pretending like nothing was happening is “the right thing” then yes they did! Here’s more on the trending story where they made like Usher and just let it burn.

Amazon Delivered A Package To A Burning Home

“We didn’t start the fire” isn’t just a popular Billy Joel song. It’s also what Amazon is saying after delivering a package to a burning home and not calling 911. What ever happened to “See something, say something?!” There could have been a dog or person in there (strange that I went to dog first…). This could have led to some very serious problems. Thankfully, things didn’t end up as bad as they could have.

According to WCVB, the fire spread quickly from the garage to the house and burned for hours before a passer-by happened to see it and finally called 911. The incident happened in Medfield, Massachusetts when the family was away for a trip to the Cape. It’s believed the fire started from trash bins next to the garage which might have contained combustible materials discarded by workers renovating the home, per WCVB.

In surveillance video from the home, you can see an Amazon driver arriving roughly 20 minutes after the first signs of smoke. The driver opens the garage, walks through the smoke, and places down the package before leaving without alerting anyone, per WCVB.

WCVB reports that when the family, the McArdles, contacted Amazon about what had happened they were met with resistance. McArdle tells WCVB, “The customer service lady said I spoke to two managers, and they’re not willing to take your call because it wasn’t their fault with the fire. Again, it wasn’t to place blame, it was really more of an educational piece. Like, ‘Hey maybe you can use this information to teach your drivers a little bit better, if you see something, say something, especially a fire.'”

The home was badly damaged, but everyone was okay. See more in a video report below.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Food Delivery Horror Stories Heard On Dave & Chuck The Freak

Look, we’ve all been there. It’s been a long day and the last thing you want to do is cook a meal. So, we turn to a delivery service. Or, at least we used to. We might not do that anymore after hearing about these stories. Here are 5 food delivery horror stories heard on Dave & Chuck The Freak.

After hearing these stories, you might be tempted to start cooking more at home. You never know what people might do with your food!

5 Food Delivery Horror Stories Heard On Dave & Chuck The Freak

Trusting a stranger to do anything can be a tough ask. I won’t let a stranger watch my dog. That’s something I know I need to trust you with before asking you to do. Actually, I won’t even ask many of my friends to do a task like that. Additionally, asking a stranger to house sit can be a dangerous ask. Now, I’m supposed to trust them with my food? In their own vehicle? That’s tough.

A lot can go wrong with a stranger picking up your food and handling it. First, they could obviously eat your food. A 10 piece nugget can very quickly turn into a 9 piece. Maybe they won’t take a full nugget. They could just steal one fry. Hey, you’ll never notice. They could also take a sip of your beverage.

However, consuming your food isn’t the only bad thing they can do. They can spit on it. They can put their hands in it. There are no shortage of the weird things they could do to it. Sure, companies have started taking measures to prevent stuff like this happening. They’ll staple or tape your bag shut. There’s no a protective film over beverage cups. However, it doesn’t seem to be enough. Drivers are still out there doing stuff–and getting caught doing it.

Here are 5 examples of food delivery horror stories as heard on Dave & Chuck The Freak!

  • Guy Finds Poop In His Delivery Order

    There are many things you can find in your delivery order. The last thing you want to find? Probably poop. Well, it happened. I can’t imagine the horror at realizing that. Certainly, I would never order from a food delivery service again. That would be it for me.

  • Delivery Driver Gets Held Hostage After Delivering Cold Kabab

    Personally, when I order a kabab I want it to be hot. Turns out, I’m not alone. A delivery driver was held hostage after delivering a cold kabab to a customer! Now, I’ve never taken it that far. However, I do understand the frustration. Where were you? Why isn’t this hot? I’d have so many questions. However, I would still eat it. I can microwave it myself. It’s not worth going to jail over.

  • DoorDash Driver Busted Eating Customer's Cookies

    We talked about this earlier. One of the risks you take asking someone else to deliver your food is they could end up eating some of it. Sometimes, they’ll get away with it. There’s no way to tell it was them who ate it. Maybe the restaurant just forgot to give it to you? However, there are times where the evidence is right there. Right on the delivery driver’s face. That’s what happened here. Watch as she hilariously busts him for it.

Well, by the time she realized that it was too late. Watch the humiliating video below!
