The goal of a delivery man should be to leave your package either right in your hands or in a safe spot. The goal of a delivery man is not to trap you in your own apartment, at least that shouldn’t be the goal.
A California man named Jessie Lawrence claims that a UPS worker left his package, a tall rectangular box, right under the door handle to his front door. And that of course prevented Lawrence from turning the handle to get out. He actually had to call maintenance to release him.
Check out the tweet below thanks to Lawrence’s Twitter.
Hey @UPS, your driver left this package under our door knob like this and trapped us in our apartment. Had to call maintenance to get out. pic.twitter.com/L5yNpafhCT

Adding:
Sure, it’s inconvenient for us to call someone to get us out but if it were an emergency, we would have been screwed. We’re 5 floors up.

Since there wasn’t a fire and Lawrence wasn’t burned alive, Twitter found humor in the situation and obviously responded like so:
Looks like you got…(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)…boxed in.

If this was my place’s maintenance, they’d find my malnourished, dehydrated body after not payment of rent
