In a world where misunderstandings are too common, there are some instances that leave us laughing long after the dust settles.
Such was the case for one individual who found herself in a comical situation due to a case of mistaken identity. The original poster was a guest at a hotel and decided to treat herself to some delicious takeout from a local BBQ joint. Carrying a large paper bag adorned with the unmistakable name of the restaurant, she made her way back to her hotel. However, fate had something unexpected in store. As OP approached the hotel entrance, a woman rushed over and snatched her bag of food, exclaiming, “I’ve been waiting for this!”
The realization quickly dawned on OP that the woman has mistaken her for a food delivery driver. A polite explanation was offered, but the woman remained unconvinced and insisted that OP is, in fact, the person she had been waiting for. The situation took a humorous turn as her friends joined in and pressured OP to hand over the food.
Curious to discover how this amusing tale unfolded? Read the complete story here below and prepare to be entertained by the absurdity of the situation.
OP is a brown IT executive and stayed at a nice hotel in Austin, TX last week.
OP carried a large paper bag with the name of a local BBQ place written on it while returning to their hotel after ordering takeout.
OP encountered a woman outside the hotel who mistakenly believed that OP is her food delivery driver based on her appearance:
OP faced pressure from the woman’s friends to hand over the food, despite the misunderstanding, as she just wanted the woman to release her bag.
OP firmly told the woman that she is not her food delivery driver and took back her food. The woman threatened to report the incident to the delivery service for a refund.

OP made an edit to express gratitude for the overwhelming response she got on her post:
We’ve all experienced instances of mistaken identity or miscommunication that leave us scratching our heads. Maybe someone thought we were someone else or mistook our intentions. It’s in these moments that we can either choose to get frustrated or find the humor in the situation.
We all want to know what this woman would have done to the poor delivery driver:
The story would have been funnier if the actual delivery driver arrived at the scene:
Why do people think we do not know where we work?

That would be a possibility if she had gotten OP’s bag:
