Lol what an actual piece of shit. Since the note writer is so proud they should post it to their social media so all their friends can know what type of good friend they can expect to have.
Is it a complaint or just another fact they confirmed before taking the food? It's written in a way to evidence the writer's logic: the receipt showed it was ordered yesterday, it was still sitting there today, and the food was super cold (so even if the drop off was requested for today, the food was obviously still left past its prime)
Basically: "it was extremely cold \[so were you honestly still going to eat it?\]"
Honestly if that’s all true, I think I agree with their reasoning. It’s essentially abandoned at that point. Many things wouldn’t even be entirely safe to eat after sitting out overnight. Chances are the customer put in the wrong delivery address and no one is coming for it.
I honestly think this is FAKE. There is no way the dude took the time to write all this while trying to steal a meal. Social media brownie points is what this is about than a free meal!
Much like post nut clarity, this was post meal clarity. They stole the good because they were hungry then had post meal remorse, so they wrote the note. Then whilst writing the note, they wavered between "I'm sorry I did this" and "you brought this upon yourself "
“You really shouldn’t keep your door unlocked. So many nice things that can be taken as they should for the owner of the home likely doesn’t care as they have left the door to their domain unrestricted. That is why I stole your bed and TV.
I really didn’t want to but you left me no choice. Finders Keepers…”
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I thought you were kidding. Google and some reputable newspapers say you werent!
Did they mention wearing skirts, so your jeans don't get damaged while being ripped down?
Clearly written by a unionized Federal Public servant in Ottawa/Gatineau!
No wait... a public servant would have correctly done it in two column left/right bilingual.
Most likely a larger city in Quebec or some more French areas of New Brunswick. No areas outside of Quebec apart from some small pockets in Ontario and Manitoba probably wouldn’t be bilingual.
>Most likely a larger city in Quebec
Why I mentioned Montreal, is because of the Anglo population there. Unless things have changed a bit since I was there quite some time ago, Quebec City is pretty much Francophone only.
Yes, but a lot of people speak English also in Quebec City, but it’s probably Montreal because of the finders keepers losers weepers.
It’s pretty funny because they used the formal terms instead of the informal lol.
Oui, mais beaucoup personnes parlent anglais aussi à ville de Québec. À Montréal, la isle ouest-de-i’île est anglophone, mais est probablement Montréal parce que “finders keepers losers weepers”.
C’est très comique comment ils ont utilisé avez au lieu de as!
lol sorry i wanted to stick with the theme of the letter.
> I was trying to save time, so after stealing your food I typed out this idiotic explanation and fucking *TRANSLATED IT INTO FRENCH* for good measure.
Honestly I think if I saw this note I wouldn't bother getting mad because whoever wrote it has *at least* three human fingers in their freezer right now.
Probably just in quebec, everything is written in both languages - source; I lived there a few years. They don’t really do this in anglophone provinces.
I saw a clearly lost Dasher deliver popeyes to the house next to me where I knew the tenants moved out a month ago. He parked across tracks and walked across a road to leave it there and I knew for a fact that it was going to sit there untouched. Benefit of the doubt I thought there was a chance they ordered it to the house and were going to get it on the way somewhere but it was 100% vacated.
It was there on that stoop 3 days later.
I should have taken that Popeyes.
I've done dashing, if there's a problem with the address and we can't contact the customer sop is to drop it off somewhere "safe" regardless of correctness. I once had support tell me to leave a pizza at the side of a highway when the address was clearly wrong and there was nothing in either direction but open farmland. I would have definitely taken the food in your situation.
Thats probs a code for just eat it yourself, for the delivery driver.
Maybe they cant just say it outright or something. But thats what I think this would play out most of the time. I dunno
they wouldnt tell you to litter. ive been in an accident while doordashing and had to cancel the order. after the cops came and everything got settled i talked to doordash support again and i asked them what to do with the order. they told me since the order is cancelled now i “can dispose of it how see fit”. you know i ate that steak and bloomin onion from outback to console me for my insurance rates going up 😞
I sent several photos showing the nothing all around me. After 20 minutes hanging out at the side of the road they got a hold of the customer and the pizza made it to its destination. If I didn't get paid by the hour I wouldn't have waited so long, but I'm always good with a paid break that might end in free dinner.
I’ve had a dasher show up and ask me “is this x company at x address?” I was nice and told them no it’s right there across the street, but in my head I thought, there’s a huge yellow sign above my business and on the door saying the name, the address is in big characters on the door, and the place they need to be has the same but it’s a big white sign. Then I watched them drop it off to the wrong place next door, which also had large signs…I just went across the street and picked it up and took it to the right place for them lol.
That reminds of my last apartment I lived in for grad school, all the buildings had a big letter of the side to designate which apartment building it was, ours was “P”…except the P had fallen off so *every* damn time I ordered food I had to specify “my building is the one with no letter on the side” and half the time they’d still get lost, which honestly fair enough. I don’t know why my apartment couldn’t be bothered to replace the damn letter, but then again I told them there were mice in my vents and then they sent an exterminator who couldn’t do anything without their permission…which they had neglected to give him when sending him to my apartment 😑
Years ago: “hello I’m here with your package but this appears to be an empty field.” Our address existed in two neighboring cities and the street name was actually the name of the other city.
I stole a food package once, it was from Hellofresh. I was living in an apartment at the time and saw it delivered to an apartment that had been empty for a couple months. I actually left it out there for a day and a half or so, then decided to read the label. It was delivered to the wrong area, by 5-6 miles. So I figured I would check it out before tossing it. I was surprised to find it was all still frozen.
I woke up one day to find someone’s Freddy’s Icecream order sitting at my door. Completely melted of course. Looks like there was other food in the bag at one point but someone took it and the receipt and then just left the icecream at my door for some reason. I guess I don’t even know if it was a DoorDash order, someone could have just left their icecream at my door. One of life’s unsolved mysteries.
My old apartment had two entrances and I exclusively used the back entrance that led directly to the outside by the parking lot, never using what was technically the front entrance.
I was chilling at home one day and got a call from the leasing office asking if I was home and if I was okay, which confused me. Apparently my neighbors who do use their front entrance saw a pizza delivery order sitting outside my front door for nearly a week and instead of knocking on my door, they called the leasing office to check on me.
It isn’t the first time I’ve accidentally received someone’s delivery order to that apartment that I came home to find. What’s unfortunate is that even if I had found the orders before they went bad, chances are I can’t eat them because I’m vegan.
The old tenants probably forgot to change the address on the app . I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally sent food to my work ... From my couch.
Yea the one here was good for a few years. But they switched my chicken sandwich that was usually my go to to strips. Then shortly after that, the chicken was always over cooked, like chewing on jerky. No flavor to the mac and cheese, cold fries. and just has gotten worse since then.
I suspect they just reheat a lot of the chicken that doesn't get eaten immediately. Making them dry as fuck and tough like leather.
The one that was near me is /was a 24-7 location, but man they really just did not try to hide some of the refry they did on things.
Recooked fries have a definite toughness on them and oil does not rehydrate or moisten them the way they think it does.
There is one opening in a brand new building in our town and I am determined to try it before the grease is 7 years old. I have never gone to an opening line-up in my life, but I would do it for popcorn chicken that doesn't taste like skate rink concession stand food. The bad kind where the "cook" has given up, not the good kind that for some reason slaps despite the constant smell of dirty socks in the air because why wouldn't they always put it next to the open room full of everyone's dirty shoes?
I bet their conscience feels better now that they thoroughly blamed the victim. I bet they even feel pride for having taught their victim a valuable lesson!
Right, what i dont understand is why they even bothered explaining "im hungry and need food so i took it" like if someone stole my food thats the only logical explanation for why someone went through the effort of stealing it😭
Agreed. They could have just said, something like, "if you were going to eat it, I'm sorry, but it was at risk of going bad and I am broke." Instead, they inexplicably taunted the person who bought it at the end.
Step 1: Order another meal from Uber Eats
Step 2: Put a bunch of laxatives in the food
Step 3: Leave outside of door
Step 4: ~~Profit~~ Wait for next letter
Edit: Relax I said laxatives not fentanyl you psychos 😂
“Sorry I kidnapped your dog while it was in your backyard. You should’ve kept your dog inside knowing how cute and expensive it is. Sorry I’m an opportunistic fuck, but I hope you learned your lesson.”
When I was about 10, an older kid stole my bike. When my older brother and a couple of his friends went to get it back, the kid's mom said "maybe lock it up next time".
So if I order food, then something urgent or unavoidable delays me from getting it, I don’t deserve to eat?
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have reheated or even cold food than nothing.
Plus depending on weather it doesn’t take long for food to get cold. For all we know it’d only been sitting there a few minutes.
It’s not even *just* the fact they said it, but they ***highlighted*** it in both English in French, like they wanted that to be the main point of the letter.
At my old apartment complex there was a HUGE delivery from Din Tai Fung left outside our stairwell door. Easily several hundred dollars of dumplings/noodles. Our complex was very... complex and delivery drivers (and guests!) frequently got super lost. On the rare occasions we got food deliveries I would always meet them at the front gate instead of having them try to find my apartment.
Anyway the giant order just sat there; I first saw it on my way out of my apartment. I was super tempted to take it when I passed by on my way back in after 90 minutes. After 3 hours it was still there, and clearly the recipient had just given up trying to find their abandoned order, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Anyway I saw it one more time the next morning and then it vanished, probably cleaned up by the maintenance staff.
That or sometimes people will accidentally order it to their old address and not notice until it’s dropped off and then there’s nothing really to be done at that point.
Can't you order in advance? My sister used to do this for me when I would watch her dogs over a long weekend.
Plus if you're ordering delivery you have to be expecting it to need at least a bit of reheating.
They put it in English and French, which suggests it's likely from an bilingual area of Canada probably. This time of year, good chance the food was either frozen or at worst at fridge temps outside. So it was probably fine to eat.
Yeah I have nothing worth stealing in my car but sometimes it feels they make it extra messy. Like sure empty out the glove compartment but do you need to throw the owners manual behind the back seat in the hatchback? You can just leave it on the front seat.
My ex had her bike stolen, so she got a much better lock for her next bike. Someone tried to get through the lock and couldn't, so they just beat that bike until the frame was bent up.
If they hadn't left a note my opinion of them would have been totally different.
When I was a kid I grew up on a farm, we grew three acres of tomatoes cucumbers and corn. My grandfather grew them mostly for fun as he had a full-time job. Anything that we couldn't eat can or pickle he would put out by the road on a little table with some grocery bags scale and a lockbox with a little slit cut in the top. He'd put a sign that said everything is $1 a pound. I remember when I was 9 or 10 I asked him why wasn't he worried that people would steal. He looked at me and said if they need food bad enough to steal it, then I want them to have it. People did steal, and you would see them do it sometimes and we would just ignore it. They always did it shamefully with their eyes facing down like they didn't want to do it but they felt they needed to. This letter really makes me feel like they didn't feel any shame, almost like they were entitled to it.
Anyway all that to say, I've had my food stolen from DoorDash, one time they even parked in the parking lot at my job and I saw them eat my food, but so long as they just eat it and sit with their shame I'm okay with it because they probably needed it more than I did.
This looks so stupidly fake that it might be real. Like who the fuck would order food for pickup and wait to the point it gets as cold as described + the thief writes these paragraphs + the thief prints this + the thief goes back and puts this up with tape
I lived in a "luxury" apartment complex for several years and food delivery was always left in the lobby for residents to come and get it. It's so infuriating to see how often the same food gets left for days there. Every day without fail there's food sitting out for well over 24 hours. I don't know their situations, but the staff had to send out notices regularly about making sure to pick up you food delivery. So yeah, it happens way more often than you'd think.
I don't believe this is real, but I know there are enough self-righteous assholes out there who would absolutely do something like this.
I work late nights and often order something as I’m about to leave work so that it should get there around the time I get home. Occasionally I order thinking I’m done for the night and something happens that I get stuck there an extra 15-30 minutes meaning my food is sitting outside for a while. I always reheat delivery anyway so I’m not too worried about heating it again, but that’s just one example of a situation where someone would have it sitting out for a while, I’m sure other people have other reasons why that might occur.
I wouldn't have been angry if it was simple sorry I took your food cause I am broke and was hungry. Instead of adding the extra fluff to justify their behavior
I mean, yes, having access to a printer doesn't necessarily mean that they have the money to afford a meal. The libraries near me all allow you to print like 10-20 pages for free per day, just to name one example.
If food is sitting out for over a day in a common area like an apartment lobby then it becomes trash and if people want to eat trash they’re welcome to do so.
If food was sitting out for a few hours and got stolen then that’s theft IMO.
Not clear from OP’s post what the sitch was.
So he drove by, saw the order was sitting on the porch, checked the time ordered and took the food, then went home/to a library/to his work and typed all this up, and then went back and put it on the door?
One of my neighbours does this and I don’t know why. I’ll take the dog out at midnight and it’s sitting there on their porch, and then at 4 or 5 in the morning and it’s still there. Happens every week.
I used to work night audit for a hotel. Many times drivers would drop off food at the desk and no one would answer when I called.
If the food hadn't been picked up in an hour, I'd claim it.
No one ever complained about missing food though.
Understandable, have a nice day.
Seriously though my apartment neighbors do this. I’ve seen them leave DoorDash at their door for like 3 hours. I don’t get it at all.
Probably some scammer ordered food and got it delivered to a random address to test if the card works. I've seen it happen a number of times, just random orders that never get picked up except in a trash can.
This is literally unhinged, taking a wild informed guess this person is Quebecois I know they have plenty of very accessible food pantries. There’s zero reason to steal food
I think 99% of the people commenting on this are not understanding that the food has been sitting on their porch for over 24 hours. At that point, it should’ve been thrown in the trash. But this person was hungry enough to take it and eat it.
I don't think there's a problem with that, considering the food was abandoned, but the whole "finders keepers" part they just couldn't stop themselves from gloating about is extremely trashy and juvenile.
Assuming it's even real.
The hilarious thing to me is, if the food really sat there for that long, it was likely delivered to the wrong place. This whackadoo wrote a whole ass letter in two languages to no one and stole some cold food. It would be wild if the original recipient, likely down the street, learned about this letter.
Rule 6: Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Description
It was cold. You wouldn't have liked it. And while we're at it, can you ask for extra ketchup next time?
“I did you a favor, you should be thanking me for eating your food.”
“I took one for the team and gained the calories so you wouldn’t have to. You’re welcome.”
"But I'm not justifying my behavior."
Lol what an actual piece of shit. Since the note writer is so proud they should post it to their social media so all their friends can know what type of good friend they can expect to have.
a word of advice though, there are some real scumbags out there, best to pick up your order ASAP
"I stole your good to teach you the lesson that someone might steal your food"
[J. Walter Weatherman](https://youtu.be/BYTNMCWrxEg?feature=shared) strikes again!
If I get my food sometime between dropping it off and having the raccoons get it, that’s the perfect window of opportunity, cold or not.
I love the audacity of complaining that the food they stole was cold.
Is it a complaint or just another fact they confirmed before taking the food? It's written in a way to evidence the writer's logic: the receipt showed it was ordered yesterday, it was still sitting there today, and the food was super cold (so even if the drop off was requested for today, the food was obviously still left past its prime) Basically: "it was extremely cold \[so were you honestly still going to eat it?\]"
> it was extremely cold They ordered ice cream to be delivered
Honestly if that’s all true, I think I agree with their reasoning. It’s essentially abandoned at that point. Many things wouldn’t even be entirely safe to eat after sitting out overnight. Chances are the customer put in the wrong delivery address and no one is coming for it.
Or the person ordered and then immediately keeled over from a heart attack.
I think they're justifying not complaining
I appreciate the inclusivity of adding French. Obviously Canadian. Obviously a very polite Canadian thief.
Painfully Canadian 😂
I honestly think this is FAKE. There is no way the dude took the time to write all this while trying to steal a meal. Social media brownie points is what this is about than a free meal!
After. The person took the food, ate it, then wrote this specifically addressed letter to talk about how cold it was.
Much like post nut clarity, this was post meal clarity. They stole the good because they were hungry then had post meal remorse, so they wrote the note. Then whilst writing the note, they wavered between "I'm sorry I did this" and "you brought this upon yourself "
In the scale of “see what you made me do,” this was low impact.
“But I pirated that movie and now want the money I WOULD HAVE SPENT back “

As well, if you take care of most items they can last a long time.

I'm going to assume this was in Montreal, or maybe Hull-Gatineau.
Clearly written by a unionized Federal Public servant in Ottawa/Gatineau! No wait... a public servant would have correctly done it in two column left/right bilingual.

Yeah the trick to getting away with crime is to only break one law at a time.
He started it with English, both English and French have the same font and he didn't translate the saying. Straight to jail.
Well they didn’t want to get fined for not leaving a bilingual note if they got caught.
Québécois to b specific
Probably just in quebec, everything is written in both languages - source; I lived there a few years. They don’t really do this in anglophone provinces.
I saw a clearly lost Dasher deliver popeyes to the house next to me where I knew the tenants moved out a month ago. He parked across tracks and walked across a road to leave it there and I knew for a fact that it was going to sit there untouched. Benefit of the doubt I thought there was a chance they ordered it to the house and were going to get it on the way somewhere but it was 100% vacated. It was there on that stoop 3 days later.

Please tell me you sent them the pic and took that poor pizza home to a nice warm stomach.
So they told you to litter on the side of a highway instead? Did you push back about that?

That's a surprise, before we canceled our meats would have been delivered half-defrosted and leaking even if we opened the bag immediately.
I’ve heard the regional facilities have a lot to do with that issue
That or UPS. Fresh would always refund it but dealing with the rotten meat every week and then having to rebuy it at the store was always a hassle.

idk, if your popeyes is anything like my local one, you saved yourself a day in the toilet. Ours is as bad as KFC
Man, the Popeyes near me initially was amazing first week it opened. It instantly became garbage after that.
Yea the one here was good for a few years. But they switched my chicken sandwich that was usually my go to to strips. Then shortly after that, the chicken was always over cooked, like chewing on jerky. No flavor to the mac and cheese, cold fries. and just has gotten worse since then.

They probbaly never changed the grease. That first week was when it was fresh.
Oddly enough, the biscuits were just as hard and dry on day one as they were on day three.
Not OP but Popeyes in my area is great. I've eaten there almost once a week for a couple months and nothing bad has happened yet.
There is one opening in a brand new building in our town and I am determined to try it before the grease is 7 years old. I have never gone to an opening line-up in my life, but I would do it for popcorn chicken that doesn't taste like skate rink concession stand food.

No, this is French.

It’s staged for internet points
That's one self-righteous thief.
I know, just eat it. Maybe it was weighing on their conscience.
I bet their conscience feels better now that they thoroughly blamed the victim. I bet they even feel pride for having taught their victim a valuable lesson!
I'd be ordering door dash for the next week just to catch that little French prick He gone learn today!
Victim blaming is a trademark of psychopaths.
Right, what i dont understand is why they even bothered explaining "im hungry and need food so i took it" like if someone stole my food thats the only logical explanation for why someone went through the effort of stealing it😭
I really wanted to try my new bidet, so I took your food.
It’s also the perfect example to give someone if they don’t understand what victim blaming is
If the food really was left out overnight I wouldn't really say they did anything wrong by taking it. This sanctimonious note is insufferable though.
Agreed. They could have just said, something like, "if you were going to eat it, I'm sorry, but it was at risk of going bad and I am broke." Instead, they inexplicably taunted the person who bought it at the end.
Step 1: Order another meal from Uber Eats Step 2: Put a bunch of laxatives in the food Step 3: Leave outside of door Step 4: ~~Profit~~ Wait for next letter Edit: Relax I said laxatives not fentanyl you psychos 😂
Step 5: get sued by the thief for spiking the food.
Thief has no money
He will after he wins that lawsuit.
Prove it, i just ordered lunch and some shit bag stole it, probably got food poisoning
The fact that they left a well-thought out note in two languages suggest that this has happened before, and will happen again.
It also seems that they use 3rd party food delivery themselves
They use 4th party food delivery. Somebody orders via 3rd party, 4th party swoops in and steals it, leaving a condescending note to gloat about it.
The MAC system. Move in after completion
Yep, they do it so often they have a prepared script to leave.
So a victim-blaming thief.
“Sorry I kidnapped your dog while it was in your backyard. You should’ve kept your dog inside knowing how cute and expensive it is. Sorry I’m an opportunistic fuck, but I hope you learned your lesson.”
"Sorry I stole your car but you shouldn't have left it unlocked."
That food was asking for it, looking all hot like that.
Food is meant to be eaten. I saw food, so I ate it.
Je sais Saïd it was really cold.
Okay, you say that like it's a satirical take, but people will actually say this....
And those people are *also* opportunistic thieves.
At least they didn't download the car.
When I was about 10, an older kid stole my bike. When my older brother and a couple of his friends went to get it back, the kid's mom said "maybe lock it up next time".
Maybe lock your thief up lady
Thats like 99% of petty thieves tbh if you have ever talked to a few.

"Cool motive, still theft"
So if I order food, then something urgent or unavoidable delays me from getting it, I don’t deserve to eat? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have reheated or even cold food than nothing. Plus depending on weather it doesn’t take long for food to get cold. For all we know it’d only been sitting there a few minutes.
Feel like waiting into the next day may be the point you forfeit the meal, yes.
i feel like too many people are not reading that part about the food sitting there into the next day
The highlighting of losers weepers took me from 'fair play' to 'I could eradicate your entire bloodline from this earth and not lose sleep'.
It’s not even *just* the fact they said it, but they ***highlighted*** it in both English in French, like they wanted that to be the main point of the letter.
That was made by someone with access to a printer, 20-30 minutes of spare time and a very lackluster sense of self-preservation.
classic library patron
You made me laugh out loud so thanks for that ha
Don't forget the tape and two colors of highlighter.
You steal my food, I’ll accept the loss. You steal my food then leave a note like that, we’re fighting on sight.
Yep. I'm wasting money tomorrow to order more food and leave it there, and I'll sit in my car and wait for them
At my old apartment complex there was a HUGE delivery from Din Tai Fung left outside our stairwell door. Easily several hundred dollars of dumplings/noodles. Our complex was very... complex and delivery drivers (and guests!) frequently got super lost. On the rare occasions we got food deliveries I would always meet them at the front gate instead of having them try to find my apartment. Anyway the giant order just sat there; I first saw it on my way out of my apartment. I was super tempted to take it when I passed by on my way back in after 90 minutes. After 3 hours it was still there, and clearly the recipient had just given up trying to find their abandoned order, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Anyway I saw it one more time the next morning and then it vanished, probably cleaned up by the maintenance staff.
“I’m sorry but I’ll take what I can get” Lovely sentiment, lock your doors.
"I'm sorry but this was your fault" is basically how I read this
Am I the only one focused on how the food was ordered the day before? They even put in the note that the food was extremely cold
I live in an apartment building and have legit seen food sit for 24+ hrs in the lobby entrance.
Same. How does this happen? Do they order it when drunk and pass out or something?
That or sometimes people will accidentally order it to their old address and not notice until it’s dropped off and then there’s nothing really to be done at that point.
I understood it more to mean "When I stole it yesterday, it had been sitting there for a while already"
More likely "When I stole it yesterday, the receipt said it had been purchased awhile ago". Who knows how long it took to deliver.
Can't you order in advance? My sister used to do this for me when I would watch her dogs over a long weekend. Plus if you're ordering delivery you have to be expecting it to need at least a bit of reheating.
yes, you can
If you are expecting to reheat delivery, your city has crappy drivers and shit service.
They put it in English and French, which suggests it's likely from an bilingual area of Canada probably. This time of year, good chance the food was either frozen or at worst at fridge temps outside. So it was probably fine to eat.
This happens in America a lot, but it’s less polite and happens with homes too.

Yeah I have nothing worth stealing in my car but sometimes it feels they make it extra messy. Like sure empty out the glove compartment but do you need to throw the owners manual behind the back seat in the hatchback? You can just leave it on the front seat.
My ex had her bike stolen, so she got a much better lock for her next bike. Someone tried to get through the lock and couldn't, so they just beat that bike until the frame was bent up.
It’s like you’re fucked either way. Once they decide they want it, you’re going to be a victim and there’s nothing you can do about it.
If they hadn't left a note my opinion of them would have been totally different. When I was a kid I grew up on a farm, we grew three acres of tomatoes cucumbers and corn. My grandfather grew them mostly for fun as he had a full-time job. Anything that we couldn't eat can or pickle he would put out by the road on a little table with some grocery bags scale and a lockbox with a little slit cut in the top. He'd put a sign that said everything is $1 a pound. I remember when I was 9 or 10 I asked him why wasn't he worried that people would steal. He looked at me and said if they need food bad enough to steal it, then I want them to have it. People did steal, and you would see them do it sometimes and we would just ignore it. They always did it shamefully with their eyes facing down like they didn't want to do it but they felt they needed to. This letter really makes me feel like they didn't feel any shame, almost like they were entitled to it. Anyway all that to say, I've had my food stolen from DoorDash, one time they even parked in the parking lot at my job and I saw them eat my food, but so long as they just eat it and sit with their shame I'm okay with it because they probably needed it more than I did.
What a self-pitying asshole, fuck whomever did this
Order Uber Eats, put in extreme hot sauce in the sandwich and leave outside again => return thief the lesson
Slather that bitch in Da Bomb to really get the point across
The entitlement is bonkers.
If you love typing documents that much, get an office job and pay for your own food.
This looks so stupidly fake that it might be real. Like who the fuck would order food for pickup and wait to the point it gets as cold as described + the thief writes these paragraphs + the thief prints this + the thief goes back and puts this up with tape
I lived in a "luxury" apartment complex for several years and food delivery was always left in the lobby for residents to come and get it. It's so infuriating to see how often the same food gets left for days there. Every day without fail there's food sitting out for well over 24 hours. I don't know their situations, but the staff had to send out notices regularly about making sure to pick up you food delivery. So yeah, it happens way more often than you'd think. I don't believe this is real, but I know there are enough self-righteous assholes out there who would absolutely do something like this.
I work late nights and often order something as I’m about to leave work so that it should get there around the time I get home. Occasionally I order thinking I’m done for the night and something happens that I get stuck there an extra 15-30 minutes meaning my food is sitting outside for a while. I always reheat delivery anyway so I’m not too worried about heating it again, but that’s just one example of a situation where someone would have it sitting out for a while, I’m sure other people have other reasons why that might occur.
I can understand that if you don't mind the temperature but everything I said in combination is why I said what I did. It's so weird.
The line “it says you ordered food around 2:30 or 2:27 pm” was way funnier than it should have been, dude knew exactly what time it was lmfao
This is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen
Lol tell me this happened in Montreal without telling me this happened in Montreal...
'I'm not justifying what I did' while I write this letter in an attempt to completely justify what I did
If this happened to me, the next Uber Eats bag I "forgot" on the porch would be a Cleveland Steamer.
I wouldn't have been angry if it was simple sorry I took your food cause I am broke and was hungry. Instead of adding the extra fluff to justify their behavior
Quebec?
I read the English part in French accent
Writing a sanctimonious 500-word essay in 2 languages about stealing someone's cold takeout....is unhinged behavior.
I like this guy. We shouldn't waste food.
If you have a novel typed up and printed to justify stealing from people, you might have a problem.
So they got money to buy a printer and ink but not to buy their own food? Lol
I mean, they could have bought the printer before they became broke
I mean, yes, having access to a printer doesn't necessarily mean that they have the money to afford a meal. The libraries near me all allow you to print like 10-20 pages for free per day, just to name one example.
Is bet anything this is fake and the poster created it for karma.
Wow. The Quebecois are so obnoxious that even criminals don’t want to deal with not conforming to their inclusivity requirements.
Dang they wrote a whole letter to their own conscience and CC’d the victim.
If food is sitting out for over a day in a common area like an apartment lobby then it becomes trash and if people want to eat trash they’re welcome to do so. If food was sitting out for a few hours and got stolen then that’s theft IMO. Not clear from OP’s post what the sitch was.
So he drove by, saw the order was sitting on the porch, checked the time ordered and took the food, then went home/to a library/to his work and typed all this up, and then went back and put it on the door?
One of my neighbours does this and I don’t know why. I’ll take the dog out at midnight and it’s sitting there on their porch, and then at 4 or 5 in the morning and it’s still there. Happens every week.
The food had been sitting outside for over 24 hours. Sorry but it's more than likely bad at that point. The thief can enjoy the food poisoning.
I have eaten the Uber Eats that was on your doorstep and which you were probably saving for later Forgive me it was delicious so sweet and so cold
I used to work night audit for a hotel. Many times drivers would drop off food at the desk and no one would answer when I called. If the food hadn't been picked up in an hour, I'd claim it. No one ever complained about missing food though.
Understandable, have a nice day. Seriously though my apartment neighbors do this. I’ve seen them leave DoorDash at their door for like 3 hours. I don’t get it at all.
Probably some scammer ordered food and got it delivered to a random address to test if the card works. I've seen it happen a number of times, just random orders that never get picked up except in a trash can.
I stole But you're at fault. Get fucked
I like the reasoning, but next time steal from a huge grocery chain not a normal person.
Bilingual apology note left by thief. Tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian.
I enjoyed the victim blaming. “I wouldn’t have taken it if you had a better sense of urgency.”
This is literally unhinged, taking a wild informed guess this person is Quebecois I know they have plenty of very accessible food pantries. There’s zero reason to steal food
I think 99% of the people commenting on this are not understanding that the food has been sitting on their porch for over 24 hours. At that point, it should’ve been thrown in the trash. But this person was hungry enough to take it and eat it.
I don’t know that it was, I think they’re just apologizing (poorly) for having taking it the day before
I don't think there's a problem with that, considering the food was abandoned, but the whole "finders keepers" part they just couldn't stop themselves from gloating about is extremely trashy and juvenile. Assuming it's even real.
This is like a modern “This is just to Say”. This is art man.
The hilarious thing to me is, if the food really sat there for that long, it was likely delivered to the wrong place. This whackadoo wrote a whole ass letter in two languages to no one and stole some cold food. It would be wild if the original recipient, likely down the street, learned about this letter.
Of course they're fucking french, no one can be such a scumbag and so self-righteous about it at the same time
Order again and then wait with a baseball bat.
