The speed limit is apparently just a suggestion of how fast you should be driving, at least according to the old lady in today’s story.

No matter how slowly this Door Dash driver drives, it seems that she’s upset.

Let’s see how the story unfolds…

You’re going too fast!

I door dash as full time due to my disability. Hip dysplasia and loose tendons if anyone asks.

It was past 7:30 pm, pretty much my time to end my shift and go home.

I had to drive 10 miles to drop off the food.

OP slowed down.

I came to a dirt road with gravel so I slowed down to 10 mph.

There was 3 large properties with trailers in each of them. The last trailer was my drop off and it looked like this family owns a business by the trackers and bulldozer.

I pulled into the driveway as I slowed down. Park my car and grabbed the food.

Soon as I got out, I heard a voice.

Apparently OP wasn’t going slowly enough…

“You’re going too fast!”

I looked where the voice was coming from and found an old lady sitting next to a firepit.

“Sorry what?” I called to her.

“You’re going too fast! We have children and pets here! You need to slow down!”

She yelled back at him.

OP tried to appease the old lady.

I wasn’t going to argue with her. I gave her a wave and said, “Yes, ma’am!”

Went up to the door and knocked.

A gentleman probably in his early 20s opened the door and apologized.

“Sorry for driving fast on the drive way. The lady at the firepit told me I was driving too fast. Tell her I said I will drive slowly in next time.”

“Oh, okay.”

He takes his food and looks at the old lady, giving her the ‘W.T.H.’ look.

Is 3 miles per hour slow enough?

I gave her a little wave and a smile.

She just sat there and watched me with a glare.

I get into my car and proceed to back up very slowly, 3 MPH.

I stopped when I was able to see her in my review mirror. Switch into drive and go forward 3 MPH.

The old lady is STILL upset.

Halfway out of the driveway, she gets up and starts to yell at me. No clue why, I was driving at a safe speed.

I drove back onto the dirt road and kept going 3 MPH with her slowly walking towards me with her cane waving in the air.

Took me 2 minutes to get out of the dirt road with her still on my tail, very far on my tail.

Nobody got hurt.

I soon as I got on the road, I gave her a wave with a smile drove off at the normal speed limit.

At least I can say, no children or pets were hurt during this delivery.

Thanks to this lady for putting me in my place.

Welp, I was hoping to find out why the old lady was following OP.

Was she upset that OP wasn’t going fast enough this time, or was 3 mph still too fast?

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

This reader understands WHY the old lady was upset.

Another reader was hoping for an alternate ending to the story.

This old lady isn’t the only one who thinks driving under the speed limit isn’t slow enough.

Another reader shared a quote that sums it up…

Perhaps the old lady was concerned about dust more than speed?

It would have been nice to find out why she was waving her cane in the air.
