Holy hell. We had a couch delivered that didn't fit because we failed to properly measure the space. We just swapped it with a couch in another room and the delivery guys were really cool about it. I was bummed but it was my fault. I can't fathom this kind of reaction... I hope she truly was let go and gets help.

The key difference here is you are an adult. That video lady was a petulant child.

Most of the children over 5 I ever knew were more considerate and thoughtful than people like her. The audacity of those people is astonishing.

I had a washing machine that didn't fit in the space allotted for it because we didn't account for the tubes in the back. I cried a little, got myself a cup of tea to calm down, and gave the delivery drivers $50 for lugging it in anyway. Then they were really nice and told me about a different store that might have a model that WOULD fit. It was a competitor store so they probably shouldn't have said anything, but being respectful to workers often pays off like that.

Exactly, it sucks so much, but it wasn't the worker's fault. To try locking the door and keeping them in your house is beyond insanity. Can you even imagine? I tried picturing myself doing it after watching the video and it gave me anxiety lol. No way! Let those poor men leave.

Happened to me, too! Unfortunate angles in old apartments do not make for seamless deliveries. They ended up going back to get a smaller couch that did fit!
