I've never received a diad mssg quite like this...

[barnyard]

Haven't run into a situation like that yet, but when i'm working i keep the mind state that i'm being recorded 24/7 anyway.

Now that I know that the Ring dealios are motion activated, I set the package down and then do the exaggerated point to the package for the benefit of the camera. Then I spend the rest of the day snikkering.

Sometimes, I am a 3rd grader.

There are a couple of places that I deliver that have diad notes to deliver with caution, because they are problem customers. 1 of them gets things 4-5 days a week. Used to have the garage door code in the diad, then a specific spot on the porch and now a warning to tread lightly. He was home Thursday and I spoke to him. Nice guy. Maybe it's his wife.

It always the wife who is mean.

..... and I really have no clue why they were filming..

My guess is they were hoping to catch you tossing the box on the porch or something.
Nothing better to do...

I like to drop the package, ring the doorbell and GTFO before they can open the door. I did a lot of ding-dong-ditching as a kid, now I made a career out of it.

Probably. I saw her at the mailbox the week before, kind of a hotty. Their mailbox is a ways from the house and did not realize that was who it was. I am guessing she called in because I leered at her.

To be fair though... they have a special needs child and most of their deliveries are for the child. They live on a route where the driver takes lots and lots of voluntary lay off (missed out on a year of pension credit 2 or 3 years ago and was only 20 hours over last year), so there are lots of cover people that deliver there. I cover the route frequently, but so do at least 5 others. They may not have been comfortable thinking that every UPS person in the area knew their garage door code.

I don't ring the Ring doorbells unless I need a signature. Someone posted in another thread that the Ring is motion activated.

A couple of years ago I rang a doorbell. The customer, who wasn't home, talked through the doorbell on his cellphone. Since then I only ring the old style doorbells.

I rarely ring doorbells anymore because most of the time they are broken. I just knock hard 4 times and walk away. But I especially don't ring the "ring" style doorbells just because they record us.

Weird how in the country, that's what grass is for (walking on).
But deliver in some town, oh the horror! Stay off the grass!

I always wonder how people cut their grass that you can't walk on.

Yep, I don't ring any new age flashy doorbell/camera combos unless I have to. I feel like the damn thing is going to try to sync their google earth to my phone or somehow steal my soul.

Likely.

Why knock or ring unless you deliver to the Ghetto?
I don't walk up those porch steps either.
Slide it across the porch.
Customer contact just wastes time and creates call-ins.

Sometimes when i'm pressed for time I launch packages from my seat while I drive, like a paper route.

I usually knock very very softly. I wouldn't wanna wake up a baby that just laid down for a nap, even though I just backed my loud ass truck into the driveway while honking the horn like a retarded 7 year old.

I use my DIAD to knock on their door.

I do as well. I did get a customer complaint once for doing it though.
