Indiana FedEx Driver Outrages Neighborhood After Blocking Entire Street for One Delivery: ‘These Drivers Are Nuts’
INDIANA — Residents in an Indiana neighborhood were left frustrated after a FedEx driver parked in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic while delivering a package — despite several empty parking spots nearby. A photo shared online shows the truck idling directly in the roadway as the driver casually walked a package to a home, a move that many called careless, inconsiderate, and unsafe.
FedEx Truck Left Running in the Middle of the Street
According to the Reddit user who posted the photo, the FedEx employee stopped the vehicle directly in the center of the street, turned on no hazard lights, and left the truck running before getting out to make the delivery. Instead of pulling to the curb or using one of the many open parking spaces, the driver appeared to choose the fastest — and most disruptive — option.
The original poster said the driver didn’t seem concerned about the inconvenience caused to anyone who needed to get through the neighborhood.
“He just stopped in the middle of the street and walked off,”
the user wrote.
“There were plenty of open spots. He didn’t even try.”
For those stuck behind the truck, it created an unexpected delay and a brief traffic standstill — all over a single package drop-off.
Just park in the middle of the road and walk very slow to and from their door, thanks.

Former FedEx Employee Says Behavior Is “Not Normal”
What makes the situation more surprising is the poster’s claim that they previously worked for FedEx for 10 years, and never saw a driver behave this way.
The user explained that standard procedure is simple: park safely, walk the package to the door, and avoid blocking the roadway unless absolutely necessary. The photographed driver, however, ignored all common-sense practices.
The image shows a row of open parking spaces just a few feet away — a detail that only added to the public’s irritation.
“I did this job for a decade,” the OP noted.
“Never once did anyone park like this.”
This, paired with the idling truck left in the middle of the street, sparked questions about driver training and responsibility.
Viewers Call Out the Driver’s Lack of Courtesy
Once posted, the photo quickly attracted comments from users fed up with inconsiderate delivery drivers. While some delivery mistakes can be funny or harmless, viewers said this one felt careless and potentially dangerous.
One user wrote bluntly:
“These drivers are nuts.”
Another added:
“You can’t park here, mate.”
Many commenters said that even when delivery employees are rushed — especially during heavy package seasons — that doesn’t excuse blocking emergency access, traffic flow, or an entire residential street when safer parking options are clearly available.
Not the First Time Delivery Drivers Cause Frustration
The incident reminded viewers of other viral clips showing delivery mishaps — from tossing packages like frisbees to forgetting the handbrake and watching their truck roll down a street. But unlike those chaotic fails caught on doorbell cameras, this one frustrated people not because of damage, but because of the complete lack of consideration for everyone else on the road.
While this driver’s choice didn’t appear to result in injuries or property damage, users were quick to point out how the situation could have escalated.
If an emergency vehicle needed to pass through — or if a driver came around the corner too quickly — the FedEx truck’s position could have caused a collision.
Reporting the Incident Might Help Prevent Repeat Behavior
Many users suggested the simplest response: report the vehicle to FedEx so the issue doesn’t happen again.
“This is dangerous,” one commenter explained.
“Report the truck. They can’t do that.”
While the moment only stalled one driver, viewers argued it represents a pattern of small but avoidable actions that disrupt neighborhoods. Delivery drivers often work under time pressure, but safety experts say a few extra seconds to park properly can prevent hazards for everyone involved.
Fortunately, the truck didn’t cause an accident, and the incident ended only with annoyance rather than harm — but residents hope this type of carelessness doesn’t become a trend.
As everyday delivery mishaps continue making their way online, moments like this show how minor choices can quickly spark major annoyance. For more updates on community incidents, trending stories, and daily news from around the country, visit ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
