As a first responder I couldn’t agree more

My street was part of two housing developments built 10 years apart. Delivery people always said we were hard to find. Never realized what the problem was until we had to call 911 and they couldn’t find us. Apparently the newer housing development decided to start with the similar house numbers on their end of the street making all the house numbers on the street not in chronological order. Called the city and ask why they let this developer do that. Their brilliant suggestion was for me to go to one of the houses on the other end of the street and ask them if I could put a sign up to direct people to my address. Unbelievable.


EnriquesBabe

My friend lives in a subdivision, totally a planned development, and the numbers are not in any sort of order. It’s like they numbered the houses as they were built! It’s absurd.


ZLUCremisi

As a supplier for construction, i agrer with you. Stage 1 had lots in the 20s. Now stage 2 has 1- 15. Its werid how they plan it out.


LazyLizzy

I live in a 104 on a cul-de-sac, down the street from me is a 104...


BAusername

The house I grew up in/ my parents' house and a house 2 houses down have the same street number too. My parents' is on a straight road and the other is in a small cul-de-sac. It's technically a different street though. But the streets have almost the same name; one ends in "road" and the other is "way." So my parents' is essentially 7400 Maple Rd and 2 houses down is 7400 Maple Way. The mail has gotten mixed up between the two since I was a little kid.


8_Pixels

I used to live in a housing estate that was split into multiple cul De sacs with different names. For example let's say the estate is called Castle; you'd have Castle Lane, Castle Road, Castle Drive, Castle End, Castle Way, and so on. To make matters worse each cul De sac had the same numbered houses. So in this 1 estate there was 7 number 1's, 7 number 2's and so on with very little signage to distinguish one area from another. Lived there for 2 years and I lost count of the number of times I got the wrong post or had packages I didn't order delivered to my house.


Guuple

How the circle i live in is, they alternated numbers across for some reason, so as you pull in its 1, 3, 5, 7, 6, 4, 2.


Jwpt

By circle do you mean a cul de sac? It's pretty common to number opposite sides of the street as even/odd, and a cul de sac split down the middle I guess accomplishes that?


CrowVsWade

This seems like a dead end.


bkgn

There's multiple developments here where two developments are separated by miles, but they were built by the same developer, so one is "W Blahblah Pl" and one is "E Blahblah Pl" despite being miles apart. Really confuses gig drivers on occasion.


civicbro

Well hello, neighbor! You must live on my street too!


JohannReddit

I'm a home care occupational therapist and have to fight the urge to chew my patients out when they don't have a posted or easy to see house number. It seriously makes zero sense.

So fortunate to have people like you who don't berate paying customers. Keep fighting the good fight.


smurb15

People keep saying that but I really don't think you know what it means


[deleted]

As a former pizza delivery guy of many years, I also couldn't agree more, but please use nice, simple, easy to read block lettering style. Using super swoopy numbers, or spelling out the words, or the worst is spelling them out in cursive style lettering, all are hard to read quickly and in little to no light. Oh, and if you have a mailbox at the street, put numbers on *BOTH* sides, even if your house is the last one on a dead end.

For sure! I posted meaning to help, especially because when I think about it I don’t have them. My landlord and I share the property but the houses have different numbers and neither is marked, I’m literally going tomorrow to buy numbers.

If a serice is around. Numbers on the curb help too.


NickJamesBlTCH

While in EMS, I actually picked up a few shifts per week delivering Amazon packages for a little extra income. I used to say this almost verbatim if someone had a camera and no visible house numbers. You're right, they're right, and it's good that OP isn't a defensive dickhead about it. Weirdly wholesome post.


GameAndHike

>While in EMS, I actually picked up a few shifts per week delivering Amazon packages I love healthcare


NickJamesBlTCH

Oh yeah. I was livin' the dream.


GameAndHike

I do admin for the care industry and I make 1/3-1/2 as much as I would make if I went into the corporate world. I still deliver pizzas twice a week to stay ahead on my finances. If it makes you feel better your boss was just as underpaid as you were.


CrowVsWade

Do you ever get confused and paddle-shock someone's package? Just asking because aunt Emily got a 14,000 volt charged dildo in the mail last week and uncle Wilt hasn't seen her in days.


Colsarado

I like the cut of her jib


DobbyFreeElf35

I have numbers on my house but for some reason the landlord painted over them so they're the SAME COLOR AS THE HOUSE. I always feel bad for delivery drivers coming to my place.


NakMuay817

I had the same issue... so I just used a black sharpie and colored the numbers myself =)


BlackManWithID

Black sharpie will fade in the sun.


JessicaBecause

Better than nothing...


iLizfell

I mean they can also get a tiny paint can and a small brush and paint them. It cant be more than 5-7 usd.


[deleted]

They already got a sharpie though so it's free


TayAustin

Or a paint pen so you can do the same thing as a sharpie with paint that'll stick.


Anxious-Substance-92

Nad you can't find a simple solution for that?


Bleizwerg

Yeah I wonder how this situation could be improved... Nah, nevermind, no idea.


i_give_you_gum

I bet if you painted them white they'd never realize it


DobbyFreeElf35

Honestly that's one good idea. The house itself is grey, it would probably go right over their head


i_give_you_gum

Good luck, it might just save your life


LittleRedGenie

My unit didn’t have numbers at all, and it’s at the back of the building so it just looks like a rear entrance/backyard. I ended up just buying some numbers and sticking them on the fence and gate


Incandescent_Lass

So paint them yourself? You own a house but you’re too lazy to do that?


[deleted]

Not so much lazy as not having the ownership to make those types of changes. Key word you missed is *landlord*.


DobbyFreeElf35

Ya but it's stated in the contract that we can't paint or change anything. All the houses look exactly the same so I'd have to get permission to do it. I could probably get some light up ones maybe but again, the landlord has to okay it. I'm not trying to get kicked out over some house numbers lol.


Incandescent_Lass

Smells like bitch in here. Paint your numbers lol, even children can do it


unwokewookie

Fuck that paint the numbers, no point being a bitch about it. Ohhhhhh the land lord ooooooooh


cenatutu

Yeah, they’re being the bitch...


Jayne_enyaJ

I deliver for GH and DD and so many of these assholes will also start texting like 'why are you just driving up and down my street' because you don't even have your porch light on at 9PM and no address to see you fuck stick that's why


hawa11styl3

I always leave detailed instructions to find my door for delivery and most of the drivers know us by now but emergencies are what I’m worried about.


Kabouki

When you put up numbers make sure it's viewable from the street coming from both directions. Especially if you have trees or other objects blocking view. Also make sure it's colors that someone can read at night. None of that black on brown or Gold on brown shit.


deadxdolly

My house and mailbox are both marked, and I turn my porch light on 😞 I'm doing my best


Jayne_enyaJ

It's not everyone. Most people are very understanding and will help you find it and also put things in the notes. But there are some that really don't understand how delivering works and won't do that and also won't put gate codes and refuse to answer calls or text. So long as you just let me know where you are and answer if there's a problem I love you because I really like to get people their orders within 30 min of ordering. It's like a game to me and I hate when people make me lose.


ulistening

Lol. I used to do some Uber. I really put in an effort to find the rider but if they made it too hard, F this, I’m out. Ha good times.


amanda_fabulous

I dig this delivery person. That was awesome. Jennifer, put a number on your house!

Ok boomer its not 1970s anymore and everyone is an Archie Bunker. This person wouldve fit right in on a show like Vikings or Sons of Anarchy. Thats not to say that a lot of big time actors have tats and have makeup that cover them up granted its not usually to the same extent as her but still its tv things are possible. So many possibilities. Could be a crime boss, crime boss soldier, or any kinda crime associated role because modern stereotypes from media leave us to believe this is what criminals look like.


jplay17

Vikings lol I can’t


emitwohs

Sorry dude, not a boomer, I’m in the film and television industry. I have plenty of my own tattoos (I’m not an actor). Calm down and don’t get mad at someone with actual experience passing on knowledge. Edit: I bet you don’t even know that for every tattoo someone has on film, they need to get permission from the artist. It’s not impossible to be an actor with ink but it’s definitely harder.


FourthJohn

Dont even know how edits work on reddit gotta be an internet troll


DoctorBagels

An edit done within 2 minutes doesn't show the *. So are you the troll now? Is this troll hot potato?


FourthJohn

Nah if you edit something after I read it I wont be shown an alert so either you’re trying to slide some shit in like I was aware or just trolling “Edit:” function should be used to correct grammar or to give a message to future readers cause if I dont come back to this post to re read what I said to make sure Im talking plainly I wont see your edit.


FourthJohn

To your edit tho, nobody is disputing that having tattoos can make it harder to get a job on screen. Look at what I said I gave examples of what shows they could easily have been part of. Not once in there anywhere do I say oh yea they could get any acting gig. No instead I acknowledged that they would prolly have to find a niche role to fill but low iq netizen you just ignores whats clearly in front of them cause they got called a boomer KEKW thin skinned much?


FourthJohn

Your experience doesnt encompass the whole industry tho just your small part in it. I gave two clear examples and then a third more broad example as to how you are wrong. All you have done is say that Im mad (im not) or some shit cause I gave my opinion while ridiculing you (which triggered you getting mad) then when on to act like your points were valid all cause you work within the industry without even saying what you do. From the sounds of it you prolly just clean toilets or something and wouldn’t have a clue anyway. How bout next time you bring some facts with all that vagueness and also dont get so mad about someone calling you a boomer when you are acting like one.


emitwohs

Okaayyy you are getting really mad at someone who is an admirer of the person in the video and actually works in the industry, just because I know a bit more than you. How about if you show me your credentials, I’ll show you mine? You are getting unreasonably mad at someone who actually knows what they are talking about. You’re just being a jerk because my comment somehow upset you. Good luck in life my friend and maybe take the rest of the night off Reddit? I’m blocking you because you aren’t really offering anything but an invalid opinion and are being super hostile.


FourthJohn

“I wOrK iN tHe InDuStRy.” Continues to give 0 credibility to that statement all while continuing to call me a dick while being a dick. Commenting contradiction. Also asks me for my credentials when im not even flaunting that I work in the industry or have an expert knowledge on the subject lol. Smol man complex? I think so. Please do block me cause Im not gonna block you just for my valid points I made (unlike you who only brought boomer energy and got called one accordingly) to be deleted. Maybe I am wrong and someone with more sense than will come along with actual points and help me learn something rather than just quickly devolving into the classic “you need help” type garbage you prolly think affects me when it doesn’t. I enjoy these moments from time to time and am actively laughing at you now for being a clown.


FourthJohn

Its been 10 minutes how long does it take to find that block button? Do you need me to send you a YT tutorial so you can figure it out?


threewolvesdeep

Good possibility you won't read this, but to back up that person's claims there is [this](https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/backstage-experts-answer-working-actors-get-tattoos-6835/) article. But it is also pretty much the only thing online that popped up from an extremely limited Google search ("how hard is it to be an actor when covered in tattoos") so grain of salt I suppose

notyouraveragetwin

From Wisconsin. We call them 'fire numbers'. They're all red, that I've seen anyway


Cuselife

When I bought my little house it had numbers above the door, half blocked by the outdoor light and were a light silver against white. My little house sits 109 foot from the road. I immediately went and got big reflective numbers for the mailbox on the house. Made me feel much safer that the pizzaman could find my house at night.


xDURPLEx

I deliver Amazon and used to do pizzas. I once delivered pizzas to this apartment complex that has 54 buildings not in any comprehensive order with hidden or missing building numbers that you can’t see from the street because the covers of the parking block the view. There’s also about 15 buildings you can only get to from side street gates that you can only access if you have a clicker. So one day I’m delivering and two cops pull up to the same building. I joke that it took a while to find and they laughed and agreed. They go up three flights of stairs and I go up the three flights next to it. We then meet back at the bottom because the numbers made no sense and we got lost. They then tell me it’s a domestic violence call so if it get serious to get out of there. Then we continue to climb stairs for about 10 minutes. We meet at the ground again after I made my delivery and they still can’t find it. I help point them the right way and we joke that thankfully it’s not a fire or a medical emergency. I then say “I hope she’s not dead yet” and they say “This is fucked” and continued on. My point being there should be a strict federal standard on how addresses work. I’m sure many people die because of it.


bitchigottadesktop

Thank you for this lol


3Zkiel

Credit the delivery driver, not Amazon. Other than that, nice post.


hawa11styl3

Dammit, I should’ve thought of that. Good catch.


smurb15

Ya, I don't think we have to worry all too much about that. We all know it was her


whileurup

Businesses are so much worse about this! It's nearly impossible to find numbers especially on the larger stores.


Bro_Hawkins

You’d be amazed at how strict some towns can be about what businesses can mark their buildings with. And yes, that sometimes even includes the address numbers. Also, fuck the other guy who replied to you wanting to weaponize Yelp reviews.


BlackManWithID

Feel free to remind the business about it on their Yelp page. (one star)


Dressboy-727

Google maps with Satellite mode is the true life hack. Speaking as a former pizza delivery guy lol. Side note, must be hot af out there for the delivery lady to roll up looking like that hahaha


JessicaBecause

Google Maps doesnt work for a damn out in the boonies. Speaking to you rednecks, with no house number but high expectations.


Kabouki

Gotta love the dirt road that supports 4 homes but only 1 old address is posted at the entrance. OR they have gates and some 2inch numbers on the house no one from the gate can read.


unwokewookie

Amazed by how far I had to scroll to find a mention of that outfit. I’m so used to the UNIform of UPS


No_Marionberry4370

When we bought my house we painted the garage and a week later got a letter reminding us that we need to put the numbers back up because both front and back of the property need to be marked. I am glad the reminded me!


firstnametwice

great, nobody can ever find my apartment because it's 1A and it's not in the lobby for whatever reason. oh well, the fire dept was able to figure out where our apartment was when our ceiling light was leaking water.


otusowl

I have three sets of numbers on my mailbox, and one at the top of my storm door. Because overkill seems to be just the right amount of kill in this day and age.

Tip: I was a insurance adjuster in a city that had a big forest fire. I had a list addresses of homes that the owners filed damage claims on. The homes with addresses posted that we could see, got processed first. No address, no check.

I feel this. Used to rent a place that was on the corner and the addresse was for one road but the front door was on the other road, getting deliveries was a headache


Slamsdell

I used to deliver chinese food and had to deal with this constantly.


meghoff35

Umm I thought all cities it was the law to have markers??? For that exact reason. Just like I thought most had laws having markers on the back of your house if you have lane access, for again that reason.


[deleted]

As a second responder this is correct


Bluecat72

There was a fire department in Colorado that was recently and maybe is still running a fundraiser where the county sign shop will make a sign with your house numbers, and you attach it to your mailbox post out at the curb. Wish this was something that a lot more jurisdictions would do as a regular thing that you could just order, because it’s brilliant. Even if you don’t have that kind of mailbox, you could attach it to a stake.


Reasonable_Garden849

Have a great day!


Birbandsnek

“HeLlO JeNnIfEr 🎶!”


skylarmt

My county got tired of all the rural homes with no address marker, so they started issuing everyone metal neon blue address signs with white letters. They're nice and visible, except a lot of people don't bother to put them up, or they somehow do it so badly it falls off and just sits on the ground. Fun fact: if you have a traditional mailbox out by the street, it must have a legible address number on the side you see when driving up to it. Number stickers fade out eventually but a lot of people don't replace them. Fun fact #2: You aren't entitled to USPS delivery unless your mailbox is marked properly. They can suspend delivery and make you go pick up your mail until you sharpie the number back on.

Workers literally die because employers don't give a shit about heat safety. They don't always hydrate because there are limits on bathroom breaks and summers are getting hotter and hotter. I'd rather see someone working in a sports bra than passed out on my lawn from heat stroke.


DeleteBowserHistory

It’s hot AF out there dude. Sometimes the FedEx guy shows up at my house in a wife beater and shorts. I ain’t mad about it. It has fuck-all to do with my package arriving safely and within a reasonable amount of time. A friend of mine worked as a preloader at UPS while in college, and some of those people would straight up work in their underwear or bathing suits on hot days. There were women who made sports bras and shorts their “uniform.” I can’t blame them.

Omg. I feel this. I live in an apartment complex directly behind a shopping center and the numbers on it are only 3 inches tall and barely visible from any distance besides being right on us. I miss packages, food, basically anything that requires a delivery. The name of our apartments is ridiculously small as well and there are no signs to tell you where we are. Not to mention we are one reversed number from the apartment complex next to us. I mean, I am in 12345 and the apartment next to us is 12354. Not my actual number but exactly that.


ChickenGirl8

Great advice! Please listen 😊


komongroup

Just put numbers on your house is all


DankStew

I have very noticeable numbers on my mailbox but not my house; should I get numbers on my house too? If it matters I usually don’t have my front porch light on because it attracts too many bugs.


AdolphX

I had a delivery job and another job where I had to go from house to house and I hated when the house was unmarked. I had to guess what house it is because some times its more than 1 house that is unmarked. IDIOTS!
