An Amazon driver was caught 'hiding' packages from a husband. He immediately improvised.
Gotta hand it to this guy for thinking on his feet. 😂
This guy understood the assignment.
Sure, there might be a few bad eggs here and there, but by and large, delivery drivers aim to serve in any way that they can. Many even go above and beyond what their actual job responsibilities are, just to make us feel safe and satisfied.
Of course, sometimes this natural inclination to help can backfire in delightfully funny ways, which is why folks are cracking up while watching this viral video of an Amazon driver who found a welcome mat that read “hide packages from my husband” and took it a little too literally.
What makes this clip such a hoot and a holler isn’t that we see—via a doorbell cam, aka the modern day window into the soul of humanity—the driver ring the doorbell, see the doormat, and attempt to hide the package behind a plant. No no no. The hilarity comes when the husband answers the door.
“Oh hey, how’s it goin’? You got a package?” the husband asks, seeing the signature blue Amazon vest.
“Uh…no, I don’t,” blurts the delivery driver, before coming up with this hilarious cover:
“I’m just uh…here to tell you about the historic Gospel of Jesus Christ…?”

That gets the husband to make up an excuse and leave almost immediately. As the wife wrote in this video’s on-screen text, “he understood the assignment.” Someone put this man on an undercover job stat!
Unsurprisingly, people were totally here for this Amazon driver’s improv skills.
“He switched careers from a delivery man to a holy man in under a minute. LOL.”
"Imagine if the husband was like, oh sure come on in and tell me all about it. He'd have to put on a whole sermon on the fly."
“This driver deserves a raise.”
“Amazon driver saving one marriage at a time 😂”
“I love that he used 'witnessing' to get out of an interaction!!!!”
“I would have a big fat tip for him next delivery. That was awesome 😭😂😂😂 He was such a good sport.”
“We had this door mat for a while and sometimes came home to packages hidden around the porch. It was always fun to get the ‘delivered’ notification then have a bit of a hunt.”
FYI—if you have an Amazon driver you’d like to give back to for their hard work (involving pretending to be a missionary or otherwise) you can search “thank my driver” in the Amazon app after you get a package, and then click on the banner that pops up so that your driver will get a $5 tip.
