Online shopping can make life so much easier, but this delivery experience was rather inconvenient for one UPS customer.
Jessie Lawrence recently became trapped in his apartment when a UPS delivery person left his package lodged underneath his door handle, preventing him from being able to open his door.
Shortly after maintenance busted him out of his apartment, Jessie posted this disaster to Twitter and UPS’s response was…unhelpful to say the least.

Twitter users, naturally, shared their thoughts…

The person running their twitter is the same person who delivered your package

And about that blocked door…
If this was my place's maintenance, they'd find my malnourished, dehydrated body after not payment of rent

Omg that's so true, that's like almost everyone living in apartments. I wonder if he called or texted maintenance "Dude im locked in lolz 😂"

But some were skeptical…
Not sure about your handle situation, but couldn't you turn the handle up instead of down?

no way the driver did that, your neighbor did that

And who took the photo, anyway?
It was obviously taken by the maintenance guy, some people just live for the banter

Very long retractable selfie stick from upstairs.

The non-believers were quickly shut down though.
But the door can not go inwards until after the knob is pushed down, which the box made impossible. Next.

I like how a bunch of people are trying to tell you your handle might lift up as if you wouldn't bloody know.

Of course, there were puns…
Looks like you got…(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)…boxed in.

Glad you handled the situation 🤗

Umm, and what was in the box, anyway?
I can't believe no one has asked what you bought???

Really long spaghetti noodles, I'm hoping. 🍝

Who knew that this was not the first time UPS had locked someone in!

Note to UPS delivery people: maybe avoid the vicinity of the door handle when leaving a package at someone’s door.
