Most people would rather have the packages left on their porch without being annoyed with signatures or doorbells if this thread is any indication. Who’s instructing the Amazon lackeys using their own car to block the road? I’m not insinuating that they’re lazy or stupid. I’m flat out calling them lazy &/or stupid…unless they are sociopaths who think they are more important than every other driver out there. Yes, a lot of them are stupid, too because they don’t stop to take into account the 70¢/mile (which probably is underaccounting for costs) that the IRS gives you for using your own vehicle. Kid was doing door dash…until I showed him the light, when we did the math it was close to 50% of his earnings went towards expenses & suddenly it wasn’t such good money. He stopped doing it. There are not enough replies in this thread to give a meaningful answer as to whether people want the bell rung or not so I created a [poll](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6464) question for it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-are-package-delivery-services-where-you-live/1026000)._
