Be careful who you’re snowed in with.
A historic winter storm, affecting more than 235 million Americans across nearly 40 states, is underway. While many were panic-buying groceries on Saturday to make sure their homes are stocked up on food, others were spending their last hurrah out on the town before hunkering down.
As a warning to women who might have gone home with a potential suitor on Saturday night, DoorDash posted a cheeky tweet on X (formerly Twitter) that they will be of no help once the storm rolls through the tri-state area early Sunday morning.
“ladies: if Saturday comes and you get snowed in with THAT man, there is nothing we can deliver to help. please, be choosy,” the sassy post read.
One could easily read between the lines that the post most likely meant that if people plan to get freaky between the sheets right before the snowstorm begins, DoorDash won’t be able to deliver condoms or Plan B if needed.
Despite the post’s fun intentions, based on the hundreds of comments, people were not having it.
“This is distasteful,” one disgruntled user wrote.
“cringe. drop some promo codes yall havent did that in a while,” someone else suggested.
“DoorDash, y’all got the nerve to be out here tweetin’ about being choosy with men in a snowstorm, but can’t choose to pay your drivers a decent wage? Do better,” read another comment.
“I’m unsubscribing to DoorDash for this misandrist tweeting, good riddance!” wrote another person.
“Whoever posted this should switch it up or resign,” advised an annoyed commenter.

A food delivery driver for the company tried pulling a fast one on a customer using AI.
While the protocol for DoorDash workers is to snap a picture of a delivered order, one sneaky driver used an AI-generated photo to notify the customer that their food has been dropped off.
Byrne Hobart, the unlucky customer on the other end of this scam, took to X to share this bizarre experience.
Above a photo of his actual front door versus the fake one the driver texted a picture of, Hobart wrote: “Amazing. DoorDash driver accepted the drive, immediately marked it as delivered, and submitted an AI-generated image of a DoorDash order (left) at our front door (right).”
As annoying as this encounter was, DoorDash seemed to do the right thing, according to Hobart. “DoorDash, of course, promptly dispatched a replacement at no cost … All fixed,” he wrote in the thread of his original post, along with a photo of his food bag and an actual human’s hand on top
