The freaks really do come out at night and this guy wasn't just an honorary member. Be safe out there, people.

@@GigCoachJake Good to know, as I will be moving to AZ in January, but honestly I can say the same thing here in Indiana. Too many lowlifes throughout the country with nothing to lose that are too eager to fight others.

Situational awareness is key, tips I follow to stay safe are: don’t deliver at night/after sunset or if I do it’s in safer/wealthy neighborhoods, always have a means of defense on your person and in your car, don’t leave your car running unless you have clear line of sight and do not break visual (never while I’m on public property, only in customer driveways), and do not leave my phone in my car ever even if you’re just running the food to the door bc you lose that and you’re in real trouble.

This is why I reject bad neighborhoods and delivering late

Good job in not losing it. People don't know each other's past or training. My grandfather was an ex pro boxer who is in boxrec currently. I know my hands could be deadly weapons and as you said if you punch someone and they lay out on the concrete they could instantly be critically hurt or worse. We def. Have to be intelligent working these apps and ignore ignorance. Just about a month ago a group of young guys just walked in front of my car for no reason. I told them there wasn't a stop sign you need to watch where you are going. The one younger guy says come on and get out the car. Lol. I just laughed and kept going. My younger self might have knocked him out cold. But there is my family jail my career to consider. Not worth it!

Welllll said!! I’ve been in enough trouble to last a lifetime and they like to hold your past against you when something does go wrong. Since I initiated the confrontation by telling him to get off his cellphone, they could’ve also used that against me had I hurt this guy like I could’ve. At that point, I have nothing to prove and just wanted to avoid ending up in jail. I also had my dog in the car who I care about more than most humans. That actually kept me from doing anything more stupid than I already had. I’ll save it for situations that truly require me letting my hands, legs, elbows, and knees(personal favorite) go. This clown most certainly wasn’t worth the trouble it would’ve caused me in return. Thanks for the comment!

I went on got my order and the next order was from Whataburger across the street, When I got back the mcdonalds was covered in cops.

When I rang the doorbell of a house I was delivering to I could hear a dog and a few kids trying to control the dog so they could answer the door. They were taking forever so I rang the bell again. I guess they felt like they had to open the door and when they did, the dog bolted down the street. It was a pit bull and the 3 kids (around 4-8 years old) said their parents were not home. So I hopped in my car and took off after the dog. I found it around the corner attacking a small fluffy dog. The woman was freaking out and yelling at the pit bull. I intervened and put the pit in a choke type hold so the lady could get her dog away from it. Then I yelled at the kids to get a leash and take their dog home because they were just standing there watching and not doing anything. PARENTS: please do not order food if you're not going to be there to accept the delivery. Unsafe! You don't know who is coming to your home to deliver. Got my heart racing for sure!
