FAST FOOD HELL I had my thumb bitten off by a Deliveroo rider in a row over pizza – it’s ruined my life

  1. Thumbs dont end up in mouths often…

    Not to say the driver wasnt a lunatic but how is his thumb getting in their mouths or near their mouths?

  2. >he won’t be able to work again as a plumber after cops kept the digit as evidence.

    That doesn’t sound right, is there was any chance of reattaching it the police would not stand in the way of it, also what’s with the use of Americanisms like ‘cops’, is that a thing now?

  3. I blame deliveroo. People don’t assault one another over takeaway unless, and this is crucial, they’re absolutely desperate for even the low pay which being a delivery driver offers.

    The woman will have reacted so badly because they don’t get paid if they don’t enter the code. The app otherwise assumes the delivery failed or you stole the food.

    Given the low wages and high time pressure, I’m surprised we don’t hear more about delivery drivers getting into fights.

  4. – So a young male plumber orders £60 of pizza but when it doesn’t arrive he goes out looking for it and doesn’t take his phone.

    Why would you not take your phone, the phone you used to place the order, the phone that contains a code needed for the handover.

    – He manages to locate the female delivery driver who couldn’t find his address, and she would hand over the £60 of food if he gave the code from his phone.

    But he doesn’t have his phone.

    – He then asks to take the £60 of pizzas and come back with his phone, but obviously she declined and asked him to get his phone first.

    Again, why go out looking for your food order without your phone.

    – He then claims “*She went for me, punching and kicking me.*”

    So it goes from –

    “Hi I think that’s my order”
    “Sure can you give me the code”
    “I haven’t got my phone, but will get it and come back, but can I take the pizzas with me”
    “Sorry I need the code first”
    “Ok, I will go and get my phone”

    And then the female delivery driver decides they don’t want to wait and immediately starts punching and kicking the young male plumber.

    Hmm, call me cynical but I rather doubt that is how it went.

  5. I’m just here to comment on the amount of force it must have taken to bite someone’s thumb off. I know there is a joint there but still.
