UPS driver finds unqiue request waiting for him on customer's doorstep — and he went with it

Life’s too short to carry a fragile ego and to take yourself seriously all the time. Imagine being that person who can laugh with others as they laugh at you—what an incredible move! When you welcome the art of being the center of a joke with open arms, you transform into an unshakable force of self-assurance, effortlessly wrapped in humor. On one such note, Steven B. (@astro.knot on TikTok), a UPS driver, shared how his hilariously unexpected request from a homeowner had him—and social media—bursting into uncontrollable laughter. 

Steven shared the note he left after delivering the parcel outside a customer's residence that read, "I just fell so bad on your porch. Watch the ring camera for a good laugh. Lol! Text me the video please." The delivery guy further shared his contact number on the note. Driven by what seemed to be genuine curiosity, the man must have seen the video and as requested it with Steven. When uploading the video to TikTok, the UPS driver wrote, "Took a little tumble this Friday lol! had to ask the homeowners for the video," in the caption. 

The hilarious video began with Steven approaching the customer's door, package in hand, completely unaware of what would unfold moments later. After placing the parcel on the ground and turning to leave, chaos struck as he took a spectacular tumble on the stairs, transforming an ordinary delivery moment into pure comedy gold! Interestingly, the delivery guy was trying to click a picture of the parcel kept on the floor when he fell. The TikTok video received an overwhelming response on the internet, amazing over 12 million views. 

While many netizens found humor in watching the unfortunate man tumble down the stairs, others shared their own stories of awkward falls. For instance, @lacey27_0 wrote, "He looked back like where did that step come from like he didn’t step over it to get up there lmao too funny." Similarly, @givemecheeese commented, "I once forgot to put my car in park delivering something to someone with a Ring. I’m just waiting until I come across the footage." Meanwhile, @essaakim shared a personal anecdote and commented, "That happened to me last month while delivering a package. The owner of the house saw me fall and went outside to help me and gave me an ice pack."

@jenjen0881 commented, "This is great! Hope you weren't hurt our DPD man tripped last year and our dog ran right over and made sure he was fine lol! The man brings his treats always lol!" @dmcb766 wrote, "I told a few people this was going to happen now that we have to take pictures. I found myself walking backward for a better shot. Dangerous." On the other hand, @tdillie20 commented, "This is why taking pictures now is so dangerous (FedEx driver here) I feel like I’m gonna fall every time I have to get that picture." @dancross690 wrote, "In architectural design, you are not supposed to have a step where it’s just a single stair because people often don’t notice it."
