One California moment went viral after a disturbing encounter involving a suspected delivery driver and a packaged meal. The incident, captured on video and later shared on Instagram, has people once again questioning whether convenience is worth the risk when it comes to food delivery services.
The unsettling moment unfolded in California, where one person in Sacramento noticed a car blocking the driveway. At first, it seemed like a minor inconvenience, the kind of thing that happens all the time in busy neighborhoods. But what happened next quickly escalated from annoying to stomach-turning.
According to the video, the person filming watched as the driver opened a packaged meal inside the vehicle. Then, in a moment that left viewers stunned, the driver reportedly removed his shoe and rubbed it across the food. The person recording immediately confronted him, clearly disgusted by what they had just witnessed.
California Delivery Driver Rubs Shoe On Customer’s Food
“I got you on camera, bro, you’re sick, bro. You’re [expletive] disgusting,” the Instagram user can be heard saying in the clip. The driver didn’t panic, though. Instead, he calmly pushed back against the accusation and claimed the food belonged to him. “It’s mine,” he said, insisting the meal wasn’t intended for a delivery customer.
Still, that explanation didn’t exactly win anyone over online. Social media commenters were quick to question why anyone would intentionally contaminate their own food with something as dirty as a shoe. While the driver left before any further questions could be answered, many viewers believe the situation looked suspicious enough to raise serious concerns.
The person who filmed the interaction later said they tagged multiple delivery service companies online, hoping someone might identify the individual involved. The poster also maintained the video was genuine and not staged, something commenters seemed to believe, especially as the clip gained traction across social media.
If there’s one thing the internet agrees on, it’s that trust between customers and delivery drivers has become increasingly fragile. Over the past few years, viral stories about mishandled orders, tampered food, and questionable driver behavior have made some customers wary of handing their dinner plans over to strangers behind the wheel. Moments like this only add fuel to that growing anxiety.
The Internet Is Thoroughly Grossed Out
At the same time, the situation highlights how quickly everyday encounters can spiral into viral controversies. A simple driveway blockage turned into a social media scandal within minutes, reminding everyone that cameras are everywhere and accountability often follows.
“Disgusting behaviour like this is why I NEVER use food delivery services anymore,” one person wrote via X. “I trust no one,” another agreed. “Do any of these people ever get arrested?” a third person asked. “This is gross. People who do this are sociopaths,” a fourth comment read.
Whether the man in the video was truly a delivery driver or just someone making an incredibly bizarre decision with his own meal remains unclear. What is certain is that the footage left a lasting impression on viewers who now feel even more cautious about food delivery.
