We live in the age of ultimate convenience, something that most of us are different degrees of grateful for. Unfortunately, it can feel like more people lie on the more entitled end of the scale than the other way around. While it may be annoying to have a courier mess up your order or not listen to your delivery instructions, it's not like this is the least pressurized and most compensated job in the world. If you use these services at all, a little grace goes a long way.

This is something that one household paid no mind to recently, going viral as a result. When a DoorDasher delivering to their place took a picture of their heavily signed door indicating they had to have a no-contact delivery, opinions were split. Some believed there were legitimate reasons for acting this way, and others thought it was disrespectful overkill. Honestly, the passive aggression would increase my temptation to knock.
