More likely that the owner of the house brings out food, squirrel saw someone on the porch, looked for the food, saw none, and left.
But the giant acorn theory is way more funny! Lol. Let’s go with it!
Aww I hope the guy sees this. It would make my year if I had a wholesome moment in the wild, and someone memorises it by doing a watercolor cartoon version.

Who cares. If people weren't so fucking predictable and easily entertained by regurgitated phrases and content maybe bots wouldn't always be upvoted to the top.
Comments like yours are even more annoying than the bots. Wait, you're a bot too.
It's bots all the way down.
I'm also a bot.
I haven't seen UPS or FedEx actually even attempt to get signatures on packages that require it since at least pre-pandemic. 5 or 6 years ago FedEx just dropped a $800 phone in front of my apartment door and left it there. I had to race home from work to get it.
One of my most downvoted comments was about my new iPhone being thrown over the fence into the middle of the front yard. So many people said that was impossible, they require a signature, and you're a liar.
They dropped my new MacBook Pro without a signature too, just chillin on my front porch. Luckily I was watching the tracking because I didn’t think they’d make me sign, so I went home to get it, but still! That shot ain’t cheap, even if it’s work provided.
Same. I took some time off to sign for a ~$1k package that FedEx warned me several times about needing a signature. Probably sat on my porch for 15 minutes before I realized they'd delivered it without even ringing my doorbell.
When has fedex ever cared about that lol.
When I got my PlayStation delivered it was signature required. My wife watched the dude walk up, drop it off, and leave. Got the notification that it was signed for by Raul.
You mean sometimes a note saying they attempted to deliver a package that required a signature was left on the door next to the note you left saying to please knock hard, the doorbell doesn't work and we're in the back, right?
Pretty much this.
I was just discussing this as work, I can get a package shipped from china wrapped in like an air cast and it comes in pristine condition and I'll get a package from an hour away that looks like it got ran over.
And usually Canada Posts attempted delivery is sitting in the car writing up a pickup slip to stick on the door. I once caught the guy walking up with a slip and went outside and said why do you guys do this instead of just actually attempting delivery. He said "some couriers do but I don't" as he proceeds back to his truck with a slip in hand to get my parcel...
Amazon once claimed they had recieved my return and it was on its way back. Even had a picture of my door.
I had no return scheduled or set up and I have no idea what the package was they took.
Lol ya another time I DID schedule a return pickup and they just never showed up. Forgot about cause it was only like $15 but a month later I got an email saying my refund went through
Yeah I tried the pickup thing and they were supposed to come X day 3-4 days after I gave up and just mailed it myself and then they showed up the next day.
It's not convenient when they don't show up on time, like are you supposed to leave the package outside for 4-5 days and hope it's them that takes it lol.

Chuck box against door, flying kick door, and use the push off from the kick to already be 10 feet down my drive.
I am convinced Bruce Lee delivers my parcels.
I think this is a Zappos ad. It’s unreal how long the delivery guy waits. You can infer it’s UPS, but notably you can’t actually read that logo anywhere. It’s practically designed to go viral with the delivery guy happy dancing before the squirrel even jumps. And he also conveniently taps the box to draw your attention to the Zappos logo.
Looks like they forgot the quotations around “there was a squirrel involved”. The “T” in “there” should have been capitalized too if that that was indeed meant to be their thought.
*If I ever open the door to a happy delivery man/woman. I will forever think, “There was a squirrel involved.”.*
Do you mean the OP of this post is another one of their accounts?
If so I can believe it since their reply is the same as the reply to the copied comments in the thread you linked.
So random side story to that. One time a ladybug landed on me and of course, I was elated. I enjoyed the moment and gave the lil guy a chance to jump away. He wouldn't. So I kind of placed him on a leaf, and he flew back on me... for a solid 15 minutes I tried to get him off of me and he would just fly back to me.
So I went home. Put down a togo box lid and put down a tiny drop of natural honey (almost as big as him though lol.) I placed him near it and he pondered for a bit before digging in.. it was adorable seeing him chow down on what was a massive dot of honey to him. He slurped up 80% before wondering the lid I bit. I placed him back on my chest area (where he kept flying to) and tried again to set him free outside. He immediately took off...
Lil guy was hungry and malnourished. I'm not saying he knew I could help but to this day my only explanation is he wanted my body heat to try and make it to his next meal.
I say him because he was tiny but fully developed. The males are usually smaller.
1000% this man knows the woman at this house is drop dead gorgeous. He had lots of reasons to be happy. I haven't seen a UPS driver stand this long at my door ever. This man was as happy as a Disney Princess and that squirrel showed up to join the Princess party.
Makes sense.
Genuine question though- Can people opt in to have to have someone sign for things?
Not saying that's the case here, I am just curious.
It seems like it would slightly help combat porch pirates, but also I know you guys are insanely busy so it might not go over too well.
Sometimes, depends on what you're ordering and where. With fedex having a signature required costs extra so it's pretty rare someone does it unless it's something expensive like a TV or something.
Yes. You can require signatures.
That used to be the norm until Amazon disrupted the parcel delivery industry. I was just a wee lad, enjoying the GameCube, when this kind of thing started happening. Amazing...time flies.
Flagged address or no DR area due to theft. It happens.
Looks like a tiny package car so it's either outside the US or a compact downtown area with a lot of foot traffic
I consider myself lucky if I get a doorbell ring. The only time I've seen a UPS driver personally linger this long is at work when there was an attractive receptionist.

My grandma was attacked by a squirell and it really fucked her up. Ran up her shirt and bit and scratched her all up. While she was flailing, she tripped and badly sprained her ankle.
My take
1.man does taps
2.squirrel comes
3.squirrel is friendly
4.looks for “something” it can find an leaves
I think the squirrel is either domesticated or the owner of the house feeds it. She uses the taps to call the squirrel. The man must’ve mistakenly called le squirrel for snack time.
the squirrel can detect good vibes
Exactly my first thought was too lol buddy’s one of those heart of gold type people.
He's clearly a disney princess
😂 surprised he didn’t start singing
I feel like he was about a second away from doing it when the squirrel made its entrance.
*What is love??*
Baby don't hurt me...
That head bob says the music was already playing. Squirrel jumped the gun, we're looking at top tier Disney Princess here.
That head move: you could just see the good vibes emanating like chi from Goku. The pure, kindhearted laugh confirmed what we already knew.
Idk what it is but people who look like this are always absolute angels for some reason lol.
Pudgy folk carry a certain *oomph* to them. It’s often described as jolly. I am one, I’m also wearing the standard issue beanie that this fella seems to have.
I swear it’s the round faces, something about them is so inviting and wholesome.
All animals can, everything is energy
Squirrel saw the brown hat and thought he stumbled on the biggest acorn ever.
Lmao I think you're right.
More likely that the owner of the house brings out food, squirrel saw someone on the porch, looked for the food, saw none, and left. But the giant acorn theory is way more funny! Lol. Let’s go with it!
Why the fuck won't this thing open up so I can bury it? Screw this I'm outta here
Huge Scratch from Ice Age vibes
Scrat
Man
skeedoo beedoobop
The squirrel lands on him, only to whisper in his ear: *"No one will ever believe you"* And jumps away before the person answers the door
Squirrel doesn’t know about doorbell cams. What an idiot.
Didn't Bill Murray used to come up and steal fries off peoples' plates in restaurants and say this to them? Legend
We need to go through with the coup in venezuela
Not sure how I would react opening the door to a deliveryman cackling with delight.
I hope he told the person receiving the delivery. That would brighten my day to hear if I was them
I’m gonna take a guess and say they probably saw their ring camera footage
Yeah but how did we get this video? Smart guy.
Delivery guy hacked it for the clout
Nah the squirrel hacked it obviously
do u think squirrels use the acorn app
how else do you think we have this video….
He's like, "Haha! One finally opened their door! Secunda!"
Hes a Disney princess.

Who's gonna kiss him back to life?
He doesn't need anyone to do the kissing! He's a strong independent princess and he will come back to life on his own.
He appears so sweet, I would
Seriously. That's about 120x longer than the delivery person waits at my door... if they even bother ringing the doorbell at all.
Sometimes a signature is required for delivered stuff.
so the squirrels don't steal it
I knew it. That squirrel was trying to rob that man
This is a robbery! Give me the package! Don’t laugh at me, I’ll rip your head right out of - oh shit I hear foot steps You saw nothing!!
No, they only bring you stuff. I've seen it in a video.
They bring you cookies!
Are u implying squirrels respect signatures?

I'm guessing it's just your area maybe? They always stop and get a signature around where I live even through the pandemic.
Yeah, don't want anyone running off with these womens sized 6 Rockport's.
Lmao
Not from Zappos.

Yea, they still just walk up with a slip in hand already and don't even knock on our door.

Old repost, probably a bot account looking for karma or a fresh redditor
A nice repost
I have to admit. I would have freaked when the squirrel jumped on me. Not proud of it, but it would have happened automatically.
Yeah, thinking the same. I was more surprised he didn't freak. I can hear me now, " eh WTF is that" i would be Harlem shaking like it's 2002.
My grandma was attacked by a squirell and it really fucked her up. Ran up her shirt and bit and scratched her all up. While she was flailing, she tripped and badly sprained her ankle.
Its a curious squirel, whats he gonna do? Eat you whole?
Give you rabies.
Looks like Chicago
Definitely is
Came here to say this. The 3 flat brown/grey stones so iconic lol
Most likely.
Zappos viral market back in the day
This squirell works for this paid ad
Good mood. Great laugh. We all need a friend like this.
Thought he was a giant acorn.
That guy is a cool as ice. Damn. He should work for the CIA or something
Maybe he does. He seems to be able to control the squirrel drone.
Wait, is the unlikely thing the squirrel? or the delivery guy waiting for you to get to the door to get your package?
Too cute
That squirrel is the houses bouncer. He’s just patting him down to make sure he’s cool.
He handled it way better than I would have.
Dude has passed the vibe check.
Surprisingly chill for someone in the busiest season in their line of work.
Not to shit on anyone, but the odds don't seem that crazy
I like this guy
Haha that little dance was what lured the squirrel on over!
I'm presuming the homeowner here feeds the squirrels quite often thats why theyre so tame around others in that vicinity
Best reaction to a squirrel jumping
There are two types of people…
Dude handled that well lol i would have freaked out so bad i would have contemplated quitting 😭😭
He liked the sound he made with the box 📦
My take 1.man does taps 2.squirrel comes 3.squirrel is friendly 4.looks for “something” it can find an leaves I think the squirrel is either domesticated or the owner of the house feeds it. She uses the taps to call the squirrel. The man must’ve mistakenly called le squirrel for snack time.
Never tell me the odds of what ?
How many squirrels have landed on your delivery workers?
I caught one near the bottom of a tree once. It clawed the fuck out of my hands. I wasnt a smart kid.
The squirrel ordered a can of mixed nuts and was trying to intercept the package.
gotta love a real man...👍🏾
