Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Isn't it how it works ?
The guy rings my appartment or gives a phone-call, and I have to come down to open the door anyway. Sometimes they're smart enough to call in advance so we know they are coming, and sometimes I discover that I have a package a day when I'm not available so it ends-up being at the pick-up point
If there's a delivery, they usually call so you have time to get dressed and get down (because it's always easily in the morning). That's normal for package delivery, at least. I've never ordered food though.
why wouldn't the package delivery just leave the package at your door? do you need to sign for your packages?
Because i live in an apartment building. Rich folks with a house don't want their package stolen or rained on
Often I need to sign, when not I live in a (semi) large building in the city centre, if noboly open the door to the delivery person they won't let it in the street. Sometimes, they let it in the hallway, but I am never comfortable with it. Rather walking 5 minutes to the post office/pick up point
Meanwhile, I'm baffled this was/is a thing in some places. We always had to go get our food once the delivery was outside of the building
I would just ask them to come up when I was in an apartment. And then meet them at the elivator if I was in a good mood.
I assume the people acting like this are doing it because I didn't give them a tip before they did their job.
Either way, it's just wasting their time; if they ring the front gate of the building and then just wait there for me to walk down, that's worse than if they save themselves time by meeting me halfway.
