In August, a DoorDash driver received a peculiar request. After accepting an order from a person named Andrew, TikTok user Zhu (@themillennialmillionaire) noticed that the door instructions included a statement reading, “Ring door bell a million times.”
“You ask and you shall receive,” wrote Zhu in the text overlaying his now-viral video. The TikTok currently has over 184,000 views.
@themillennialmillionaire these customers ask for way too much 😩 #fyp #fy #foryoupage #doordash #doordashdriver #sidehustle #funny #comedy #dashercreator #trending #viral ♬ Funny lazy donkey (hilarious song)(937200) – LEOPARD
The video concludes with Zhu ringing the bell over and over and over again.
In comments, users supported this act of malicious compliance.
“*they answer* ‘hold on, I’m not done yet,’” joked a commenter.
“Legend says he’s still ringing it,” added another.
“IMAGINE IF YOU GOT THE WRONG HOUSE,” stated a third.
Others shared their theory as to why Andrew would leave such an odd instruction.
“100% a neighbor playing a prank and order that food and said that on purpose,” claimed a user.
“I’ve requested this before. Also banging on the door bc my husband is a deep sleeper,” offered a second.
“Dude or dude-ette probably hungry and streaming/gaming,” suggested a further TikToker.
Additional users shared their own bizarre instruction stories.
“At least you listen. I tried to get a pizza delivery driver to meow at me,” alleged a user.
“I order my friend food and tell the driver to ask the most random of questions as a joke,” explained another. “sometimes they pull throught sometimes they don’t.”
