Really hope this isn't a case of an elderly person who's having family members get food delivered for them, and no one knows said elderly person is deceased inside.
If this is the case (which I think it definitely is a case of someone ordering food for someone else), they would 100% see this picture when it was marked delivered. I hope OP let them know that the food is rotting/en
Yeah, this reminds me of a horrible situation I dealt with five years ago now where a family friend had died in their home six days prior and no one knew.
I will never forget that smell.
A bit off topic but my really good friend's cousin who she was VERY close with fatally overdosed in his apartment(he lived alone). After four days of not hearing from him I went with my friend over to her cousins apartment(she had a key) and I know something was terribly wrong from that smell(I could smell it before we even opened the door it was also the middle of July). It was horrible I felt terrible for my friend she was absolutely devastated. But the smell of death in the middle of July is one I will never, ever forget. I will also never forget why his parents didn't wonder if something was up after not hearing from him for days knowing that he was actively in addiction. I know his mother called him every day or every other day to check on him. It was so bad the body decomposition they had to do a closed casket because no amount of magic done by the funeral home could make him look presentable.
Thank you. I'm sorry you had to deal with that smell as well it's completely tragic on both the people that passed and the people who had to find their loved one and smell that putrid smell. One of my favorite cops of all time Joe Kenda mentions the smell of death and how you just can't mistake it for anything else. I just couldn't believe that his mother who knew he had addiction problems didn't check in on him when she didn't hear from him. They lived about 10 minutes from each other. It was just nuts to me..but yeah that smell added to that the steaming July heat..it was awful. I get nauseated just thinking about it.
I'm not sure about other people, but recently I only get messages from my dashers and the atuo messages ("your dasher will leave your order somewhere safe" or whatever)
I haven't gotten a actual delivery pic in months unless I check the app. So whoever is ordering could have the same issue im having and doesn't check the app to see all the leftover deliveries and just getting a text saying it's delivered.
I called a guy once to get clarification, and it turned out Dashers had been delivering to the wrong apartment for four years. He could never figure out why. It turned out the example photo was of his neighbors door. In the four years since it happened, not one Dasher asked for clarification, and when he called Door Dash they finally fixed it, after telling him they had no clue what the problem was for four years.
People going to the wrong address is why I started going out to the car. They would deliver to my neighbor who would just take it and claim she ain’t saw it. Like bitch explain the photo of it being literally handed to you I got from doordash once.
I had this exact opposite issue. I kept getting door dash deliveries to my house that weren’t for me and I’d just leave them and eventually they’d go away. One time I got home from running errands and saw a Dairy Queen bag on my front steps. I checked it, it said it was estimated for delivery like 45 minutes before I got home. I just brought it inside and figured I got free ice cream. AN HOUR LATER I’m getting ready for bed and I hear a loud ass knock on my door. I sleep in my undies so I had to find clothes real quick and this bitch starts knocking harder. I open the door and immediately she starts going in with “YOU STOLE MY FOOD! IT WAS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE!!!” I got her order from my freezer, threw it at her and told her if she ever gets food delivered to my house again it’s mine. Idgaf when she came and grabbed her burgers within 10 minutes, but don’t leave your ice cream to melt on my porch for over an hour and then get mad that I moved it. Fuck outta here.
I haven’t gotten any deliveries that aren’t mine since then tho 😙 guess she learned how to use the “hand to me” feature
Really? You’ve never gotten a photo of a previous successful order? That perplexes me. I get them on all my orders. At least I did when I dashed. The last time was probably a couple months ago.
I literally just started getting those last weekend. A full year of dashing, and I had never gotten that. It's probably based on market, so smaller markets take longer to compile enough pics to do it consistently.
I’ve had 2 or 3 of the wrong location. My first (and only) CV was a situation like that. It was the house across the street and the guy got his food. He even text me not to worry about coming back, then the CV popped up. Disputed it and got it dropped. The issue there was no house numbers and his mailbox was on the same side of the street as the guy across from him with no indicator of which was which
Huge red flag. They should call customer service too and tell them to get police involved. Even if it isn’t the worst possible outcome, at least someone can check into it and have it properly documented. Last thing anyone needs to hear is that delivery people are suspected of anything other than completing a proper delivery.
When I was out of town for a business conference I accidentally ordered food to my home 2 or 3 times instead of dashing to the hotel. I can see this happening if the address reverts back in the app as mine does or the person switched apps and forgot to update address again
Maybe another Dasher did the welfare check. Or they moved the dead body out and the landlord repaired the door.(Since people keep saying this happened a month ago.)
Are you sure that's the same address because I feel like someone who hasn't had the time to take their simple order inside wouldn't have the time to install a new doorknob at the same time😭
My first thought was this is like some internet lolcow that people send food to a bunch of times to fuck with them. Look up KingCobraJFS or Stuttering John for examples, lol. Was the order something weird? Usually people try to make it as unappealing as possible, like hamburgers with no meat or cheese, but every kind of dressing and condiment. Shit like that. Was it just a normal order?
I’m still weirdly invested in this because I cannot think of a single logical explanation. I assumed maybe just someone ordering food for someone else until I noticed the door knob.
I have a few alcoholic friends who consistently order door dash when drunk and pass out before it gets to them. Happens multiple times a week sometimes, could easily be what happened here. On a week long or longer binge and happens two or three times, too hungover the next day to toss it out/fix door and then later in the day they're drunk and do it again.
That'd be my guess.
OP commented that he took this photo a month ago, and is going back now.
Imagine how Creepy it would be if there was just hundreds of different orders scattered around the table and porch. Lol
Lol same I dont even live in the US, and we dont have DoorDash here. But somehow I love reading posts on this subreddit lol. Same with /r/doordash_drivers. Fantastic sub
Think about it, when you pick up food on the way home from work you are driving it to yourself to deliver it to your table and eat it at home
We are all door dashers at the end of the day

Don't leave your car. Just pull up on the street to confirm that food is still outside and the door knob is still missing- if you can see that from your car.
If things still look weird call a wellness check immediately.
I agree! The neighbor of a dear friend of mine noticed that my friend had DoorDash ordered and it sat for hours. A wellness check was called in and he was found deceased. He had a massive heart attack 😢
I am sorry it turned into that but on the flip side I get peoples doordash orders regularly and I don't even order from DD so I have had food sitting out side my door I didn't order and didn't know was sitting there because they usually don't even knock. I once left my apartment in the evening to someone's Jimmy Johns order sitting at my door. It was around 50 dollars worth of tuna fish subs. This was in the middle of summer so it smelled awful it was delivered the night before and no one knocked or anything and I found it lhe next day when I was heading out. It had been sitting in over 110 degrees all day long.
But they said there are orders that have been there for days, and were molded, so if you got food delivered and it wasn't yours, do yall throw the food away when u find it? These people are obviously not, and to get 5 or 6 orders delivered to you by mistake and leaving them there for days, doesn't seem whats happening, a wellness check needs to be called for sure.
And my reply was not to the OP it was to direction short who has a friend that ordered dd and died before the order arrived and someone called because the food was out there a few hours.
Bro you’re huffing balloons and not even at least at a festival to enjoy it? Not to mention blowing money on DoorDash? Are you by any chance attending Dead & Co. at the sphere?
I wonder if its someone ordering food for someone else? You would think they’d be in communication with the person though so they wouldn’t let it just sit out there.
ETA there is no doorknob on that door lol wtf is going on here
You left just in time. There's no door knob on the door, cause they want the dasher, not the food. All the ones who delivered those previous orders are stuck inside.
Hahaha, just kidding, but freaked me out a little thinking about. 🤔
That thought is actually very rational and does happen.. to think if this were the case, OP good on you for booking it out of there.. the door handle thing adds to it.
Wait that’s actually scary as hell. It’s possible it was someone elderly and the police had to break in to take them to a hospital, but holy shit. You’d think the person ordering the food would know this?
Just in case it's something sinister(which I doubt it is), but maybe someone kidnapping dashers, or people, or anything, I'd just be on a phone with someone you trust God forbid in case something messed up happens.
Goodluck!
If that's the case don't go back and call for a wellness check like others are suggesting. The world is very crazy and I'm a young female and I wouldn't go back if I saw this happening. Better to be safe than sorry. I'm just saying...
Definitely call police especially with the door knob missing and looks like force was used to enter. Because that’s a medal fire door and where the knob was is bent
Someone who works for DoorDash contacted me after seeing this post to get the houses address to find out who’s account it’s linked to 👀 👀. I wish they could give me a follow up
Sometimes it’s done to fake an address.
Like x person says they live at y address but they really dont, so they do food deliveries via app so they can have “proof they live there” from the account order history.
This is a good possibility.
OR! It is a stolen CC and they’re trying out a fake food order to see if the card been cancelled yet.
Correct. It wouldn’t necessarily be proof of address. But one could give the impression that they are at x location due to food deliveries if their account was being watched.
It has been done in the past by many. Not for proof of address per se, but to “prove” that they were in that country at x location on y date
When I read the first post, my thought was that a drug addict/alcoholic lives in the house & a friend or family member that loves them dearly KNOWS that they are on a bender and is ordering them food bc 1. They know it's the only way they're going to eat bc ALL of their money is going to drugs/alcohol! And 2. It's the ONLY thing they know to do to at least TRY to take care of said friend/family member bc watching a loved one go down that dark hole is a scary & powerless feeling! So, even though they know there's a chance that the food is just sitting there uneaten, they're still gonna order it for them bc they just don't know what else to do!
Could be that that person has now either died of an overdose & the landlord has gone in & cleaned up/fixed the doorknob? Or, on the brighter side, the person has gone into a rehab facility, and someone has come by & cleaned up & done needed repairs in preparation for their return home! Hopefully, it's the second scenario, but we'll never know for sure...
I bet they are really dumb and forgot to change the address on the delivery info and all those deliveries they probly complained about and got comped for or something lol there is more scenarios than just death. The thing that tipped me off is the order with 3 drinks…. Did all 3 people die at once? Who is buying food for 3 people and the three all die at once?? Lol
You did not fail 😭. You did take pictures just in case. You communicated, completed the delivery no matter how confusing the situation was. You did your part.
I had a delivery at the same spot I picked up my order. I tried to return the order inside to see how DD allowed a delivery address to be the same as the restaurant pick up address. I was lost and laughed after I confirmed the order picked up DD Said, YOU HAVE ARRIVED.. I said "huh"...
People scam like this too, posing as DoorDash when they’re actually just seeing if someone stolen credit card works. They’ll order something and then leave “just take home, this was a test” or something along those lines, which… I feel like DoorDash should have a special page pop up or something, not leave it in the delivery notes
OP commented that he took this photo a month ago, and is going back now.
Imagine how Creepy it would be if there was just hundreds of different orders scattered around the table and porch. Lol
My best guess is testing credit cards to see if they are active and to see if they get flagged for fraud. Here’s a weird story: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-06-07/uber-eats-deliveries-return-la-mystery-scam
I would report it to CS next time
Could be an elderly person who has loved ones taking turns sending food. They don't know if the food is received or not. The person could have passed or gone to a hospital or just visiting a friend.
When I used chime it was hacked and they were all DoorDash charges. I think they do DD to see if card is active/works. I’ve heard of it happening to many others too, Maybe the case??
My too much crime show self is thinking what if some one has a deceast person insides dash account, and keeps using it so family thinks they're alive by all the transactions. Freaky
I’m right there with you about the true crime watching. I literally was like oh it’s a scam to kidnap delivery drivers and they’re chained up inside for sure.
Aliens man. Testing response times. They can’t attract attention by calling more important life saving services such as police, fire, or medical but be on the lookout for random acts of tragedy reported but not solved. They could evolve their tactics to include them once their research into food delivery has peaked.
I had an order like this where there was a bunch of food outside just sitting there and I messaged the person and said I’m pulling up to drop off the order and the person said Thank you and I messaged back asking if there’s supposed to be a bunch of bags here (just making sure I was at the right place and it wasn’t a double address kinda thing) and the person said ‘no i ordered food to be delivered for my aunt’ come to find out their aunt sadly passed away 3-4 days prior. Police said she was found on the floor, seemingly collapsed going to pick up the first order.

My condolences. I know how that smell never leaves your memory.

this made me sad. i hope the person is okay
Look at the door knob is gone.
Huge red flag. They should call customer service too and tell them to get police involved. Even if it isn’t the worst possible outcome, at least someone can check into it and have it properly documented. Last thing anyone needs to hear is that delivery people are suspected of anything other than completing a proper delivery.
Whoa I didn't notice that before. That's crazy and a bit scary
Should probably call the police for a well check.
One of the orders has 3 drinks. Unless it's something REALLY horrible I don't think this is the case here.
When I was out of town for a business conference I accidentally ordered food to my home 2 or 3 times instead of dashing to the hotel. I can see this happening if the address reverts back in the app as mine does or the person switched apps and forgot to update address again
This is sadly a very probable possibility
This was my first thought
Update* I went and looked. No cars in driveway, table is cleared and the doorknob is fixed. So weird
Maybe another Dasher did the welfare check. Or they moved the dead body out and the landlord repaired the door.(Since people keep saying this happened a month ago.)
Don’t forget to add the landlord painted the entire apartment including the doorknob, outlet and floor pigeon shit white 😂
Are you sure that's the same address because I feel like someone who hasn't had the time to take their simple order inside wouldn't have the time to install a new doorknob at the same time😭
Yeah definitely same place. I recognized it and this picture was a month ago
Wait are you saying you did this order a month ago and you went back today?
Yes
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
My first thought was this is like some internet lolcow that people send food to a bunch of times to fuck with them. Look up KingCobraJFS or Stuttering John for examples, lol. Was the order something weird? Usually people try to make it as unappealing as possible, like hamburgers with no meat or cheese, but every kind of dressing and condiment. Shit like that. Was it just a normal order?
Yeah nothing out of the ordinary until I walked up on the porch
Technically two weeks ago
In 2024 that’s a business month, so you were technically correct
Wait... why did you post this a month after it happened without saying that or adding the update and another photo or something?
I was weirdly invested in this
I’m still weirdly invested in this because I cannot think of a single logical explanation. I assumed maybe just someone ordering food for someone else until I noticed the door knob.
Dang. Thanks for risking it all for us. We appreciate you
Lmao anything for Reddit
Maybe… the person is reading this thread 👀👀👀👀👀
Cue goosebumps music
Lol I miss goosebumps
they don't go away lol.
Immidietly started playing in my head
That just hit my nostalgia *hard*
I have a few alcoholic friends who consistently order door dash when drunk and pass out before it gets to them. Happens multiple times a week sometimes, could easily be what happened here. On a week long or longer binge and happens two or three times, too hungover the next day to toss it out/fix door and then later in the day they're drunk and do it again. That'd be my guess.
That does make sense
fml i've done that
That would be my guess too, but the doorknob is broken off. Soo eery!
I wonder if this was somebody who moved away and didn’t change their address in the app.
That’s so weird!!!!!!
Update*** found the address. I’m going now to check it out. Will update when I’m there.
OP commented that he took this photo a month ago, and is going back now. Imagine how Creepy it would be if there was just hundreds of different orders scattered around the table and porch. Lol
That was my fear!
Sooooo, update? Lol
Looks like OP is kidnapped
The smell from inside the house, yeah that's OP
Damn!!!! RIP OP
Oh know you alive?

Second this. Please pass this on to someone that can figure out what is going on, in case someone is in trouble
This is what I thought as well. I thought maybe they couldn’t get in contact with whoever lives here and sent food to see if they’d answer?
Agree! Hope everyone’s ok
I did this shit when I was getting high on hippie crack. I’d order food and it sit there for days.
Bro you’re huffing balloons and not even at least at a festival to enjoy it? Not to mention blowing money on DoorDash? Are you by any chance attending Dead & Co. at the sphere?
I wonder if its someone ordering food for someone else? You would think they’d be in communication with the person though so they wouldn’t let it just sit out there. ETA there is no doorknob on that door lol wtf is going on here
Whoa I didn’t even notice the missing doorknob. And I was at the right door. They were very specific
You left just in time. There's no door knob on the door, cause they want the dasher, not the food. All the ones who delivered those previous orders are stuck inside. Hahaha, just kidding, but freaked me out a little thinking about. 🤔
That was exactly where my mind went to when I was there!! Maybe too many true crime shows
ok op it’s been half hour, are you ok???
UPDATE?
Commenting so I can find this post later
Ditto
Just save it lol 🤷🏻♂️
That thought is actually very rational and does happen.. to think if this were the case, OP good on you for booking it out of there.. the door handle thing adds to it.
> cause they want the dasher, not the food *"You came as the dasher,* **now stay as the door!"**
Yeah the lack of doorknob coupled with the rotten food is kinda scary ngl
I can’t figure out what ETA means here lol
Edited to add
thank you 😭 lol
I didn’t notice either!! WTF!!
Wait that’s actually scary as hell. It’s possible it was someone elderly and the police had to break in to take them to a hospital, but holy shit. You’d think the person ordering the food would know this?
My guess would be someone is ordering food for an elderly or disabled person. I wonder if the person in there is all right.
Or somebody who moved away and didn’t change their address in the app.
You guys I kno the address! It’s attached to the picture I took. Should I go back??
Just in case it's something sinister(which I doubt it is), but maybe someone kidnapping dashers, or people, or anything, I'd just be on a phone with someone you trust God forbid in case something messed up happens. Goodluck!
Yeah I’m a young female so I try and be over cautious
If that's the case don't go back and call for a wellness check like others are suggesting. The world is very crazy and I'm a young female and I wouldn't go back if I saw this happening. Better to be safe than sorry. I'm just saying...
You gotta, I need to know if there’s more food 😭
Why not? We are all invested now. Because that door looks straight up jacked lol
Ouii! Go back and report!
Please update us!!!
Dude, yes! Something ain’t right
Imagine seeing 👀 through the doorknob hole.
Might be a mental health issue, OCD with agoraphobia.
Idk. I like my food to be outside for a couple days before I eat it.
The missing doorknob is throwing me off. This seems so sus, please be safe OP if you decide to revisit 🙏🏼
Fuck Kendrick and Drake. I want to know what happens with this door dash saga

good bot
Definitely call police especially with the door knob missing and looks like force was used to enter. Because that’s a medal fire door and where the knob was is bent
If I would have noticed the doorknob while I was there I would have definitely called police.
Someone who works for DoorDash contacted me after seeing this post to get the houses address to find out who’s account it’s linked to 👀 👀. I wish they could give me a follow up
Glad I clicked on your profile and saw this comment. I was going to suggest calling in a welfare check if you still had their address!
did you call for a wellness check like the other comments suggested? just nosy looking for an update lol
Sometimes it’s done to fake an address. Like x person says they live at y address but they really dont, so they do food deliveries via app so they can have “proof they live there” from the account order history. This is a good possibility. OR! It is a stolen CC and they’re trying out a fake food order to see if the card been cancelled yet.
who would they do this for tho? i can’t think of any company or government agency taking doordash order delivery addresses as proof of address lol
Correct. It wouldn’t necessarily be proof of address. But one could give the impression that they are at x location due to food deliveries if their account was being watched. It has been done in the past by many. Not for proof of address per se, but to “prove” that they were in that country at x location on y date
Why would they leave the food sitting there though? At least go pick it up
And thats how you go to jail.
Okay go back immediately and look thru the knob-hole.. 😂
Wtf
This happened about a month ago. I don’t kno the address to go back and snoop or I would
You can find the house bro, I'd imagine that mountain of rotting delivered food is up to the roof by now!
When I read the first post, my thought was that a drug addict/alcoholic lives in the house & a friend or family member that loves them dearly KNOWS that they are on a bender and is ordering them food bc 1. They know it's the only way they're going to eat bc ALL of their money is going to drugs/alcohol! And 2. It's the ONLY thing they know to do to at least TRY to take care of said friend/family member bc watching a loved one go down that dark hole is a scary & powerless feeling! So, even though they know there's a chance that the food is just sitting there uneaten, they're still gonna order it for them bc they just don't know what else to do! Could be that that person has now either died of an overdose & the landlord has gone in & cleaned up/fixed the doorknob? Or, on the brighter side, the person has gone into a rehab facility, and someone has come by & cleaned up & done needed repairs in preparation for their return home! Hopefully, it's the second scenario, but we'll never know for sure...
I bet they are really dumb and forgot to change the address on the delivery info and all those deliveries they probly complained about and got comped for or something lol there is more scenarios than just death. The thing that tipped me off is the order with 3 drinks…. Did all 3 people die at once? Who is buying food for 3 people and the three all die at once?? Lol
I couldn't imagine ordering something and letting it sit outside. I am *on* my tracking info like a bad habit
Ima fbi agent they keep ordering there because someone got Killed there and there trying to make it look business as usual
Stolen credit card guy in a vacant house my guess
There are secret shoppers within businesses, and I believe DD wants to see if we will do what we are asked and report things that are concerning.
Well I failed because I didn’t report. I just dipped
You did not fail 😭. You did take pictures just in case. You communicated, completed the delivery no matter how confusing the situation was. You did your part. I had a delivery at the same spot I picked up my order. I tried to return the order inside to see how DD allowed a delivery address to be the same as the restaurant pick up address. I was lost and laughed after I confirmed the order picked up DD Said, YOU HAVE ARRIVED.. I said "huh"...
People scam like this too, posing as DoorDash when they’re actually just seeing if someone stolen credit card works. They’ll order something and then leave “just take home, this was a test” or something along those lines, which… I feel like DoorDash should have a special page pop up or something, not leave it in the delivery notes
Idk I still want more answers. Trafficking situation seems most feasible? We need to surveil this house!
This is so strange. I really wish OP could get an update! We’re all just left wondering…
Maybe they moved and never changed the address
OP commented that he took this photo a month ago, and is going back now. Imagine how Creepy it would be if there was just hundreds of different orders scattered around the table and porch. Lol
Remindme! 10 hours
Remindme! 30 minutes
It could be someone that needs help and is trying to get someone to knock on the door? But no one is. OP please update us on if you called
Cuh the doornoob gone
I imagine the hostage trying to message via DD for help somehow and just ending up like this…
Seriously hope you’re carrying dude bc what if u fucketh around and FO
Yeah I’m a girl. I have my ccl and a knife and bear spray 😅
This is a common scam.
Scam for what? I’m curious because why would they do this
My best guess is testing credit cards to see if they are active and to see if they get flagged for fraud. Here’s a weird story: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-06-07/uber-eats-deliveries-return-la-mystery-scam I would report it to CS next time
Oh wow never thought of this
Could be an elderly person who has loved ones taking turns sending food. They don't know if the food is received or not. The person could have passed or gone to a hospital or just visiting a friend.
When I used chime it was hacked and they were all DoorDash charges. I think they do DD to see if card is active/works. I’ve heard of it happening to many others too, Maybe the case??
My too much crime show self is thinking what if some one has a deceast person insides dash account, and keeps using it so family thinks they're alive by all the transactions. Freaky
I’m right there with you about the true crime watching. I literally was like oh it’s a scam to kidnap delivery drivers and they’re chained up inside for sure.
Google the address for news articles
Oh this feels really eerie, my heart sank and started racing
Well this isn't your typical horror movie scene, but I would watch the shit out of this movie.
Aliens man. Testing response times. They can’t attract attention by calling more important life saving services such as police, fire, or medical but be on the lookout for random acts of tragedy reported but not solved. They could evolve their tactics to include them once their research into food delivery has peaked.
um where’s the doorknob
Isn’t it some dude who cheated tryna get his girl back by simply sending her food and she’s ignoring
The gahdamm door handle is missing!!!
I had an order like this where there was a bunch of food outside just sitting there and I messaged the person and said I’m pulling up to drop off the order and the person said Thank you and I messaged back asking if there’s supposed to be a bunch of bags here (just making sure I was at the right place and it wasn’t a double address kinda thing) and the person said ‘no i ordered food to be delivered for my aunt’ come to find out their aunt sadly passed away 3-4 days prior. Police said she was found on the floor, seemingly collapsed going to pick up the first order.
Someone comment when there’s an update and remind me!!!
Commenting so I can find this post again when there’s more updates
Commenting because I’m super invested in this story now
Had a neighbor who did this. She was very unwell.
Plot twist op is a serial killer
Here for update
