Woman sends sealed package through Rapido. What the delivery boy found shocked him
A woman used Rapido's porter service to send a sealed package. However, what the delivery boy found in the package when he reached the drop location left him confused and shocked.
A woman’s decision to book a delivery through the porter service via Rapido left a delivery boy stunned. Why? Because, the sealed package he was asked to deliver contained nothing but garbage.
Shared in a now-viral post on X by Hindu Pride, it was described how the Rapido delivery boy arrived at the pickup location where the woman handed him a sealed cardboard box filled with goods. Before leaving, he politely asked whether the payment would be made online or in cash, to which she replied, "It’s already paid online.”
However, confusion set in when the delivery boy reached the drop location and found a heap of garbage lying there instead of a recipient. Unsure of what to do, he called the woman and asked, “Madam, whom should I hand over the package to?”
Her response surprised him. She casually said, “Brother, just throw it there. It’s all garbage.”
The delivery boy burst out laughing at the revelation and said, “So this is where we’ve reached - now we’re delivering other people’s trash!”
The anecdote gained traction online, with several users reacting to the bizarre yet thought-provoking situation.
Take a look at the post here:
While some found humour in the irony of using a delivery service to dump waste, others felt like the incident brought out concerns around dignity of labour and basic courtesy towards service workers.
One user commented, “Funny on the surface, but a bit uncomfortable underneath. Using a porter like a disposable tool to dump trash crosses basic courtesy.”
Another wrote, “She basically turned a delivery service into a ‘trash transport service.’ Poor porter went in expecting a package, ended up with someone else’s garbage - talk about thinking outside the box, literally!”
The discussion in the comments section soon expanded beyond the single incident, with users debating how gig-economy services were being used in unconventional ways, and whether clearer guidelines or social awareness were needed to ensure respectful treatment of workers.
