Some people can be spontaneously funny and this guy is one of them!

Find out how he responded to a neighbor who mistook him for a delivery guy.

Don’t work here… I live here

I live in a nice building and usually the delivery people leave my groceries outside my door.

Recently they started leaving them in the mailroom instead.

UH OH…

One morning I went to pick them up, wearing my Ninja Turtles pajamas and a hoodie.

While waiting for the elevator, a young woman asked me: “Are those packages for Ashley?”

She went on and on!

I said no, I was a bit confused. Then she said, “You haven’t been leaving my packages at my door lately. Can you do it next time? I’m tipping you very well”

Still confused, I said, “Maybe you need to tip more” and I laughed.

That’s FUNNY!

She realized I was not her delivery guy, turned red, said sorry, and we had a very awkward elevator ride

YIKES! That’s a funny one!

Why wouldn’t she confirm who he was before making assumptions?

Let’s find out what people on Reddit commented for this one!
