DoorDash Standoff At Acushnet Creamery Turns Into Awkward Mix Up

Awkward Ice Cream Standoff Leaves Fun 107 Host Questioning His Reputation

If you’ve ever waited in line at Acushnet Creamery on a busy spring/summer night, you know the drill. You might start in a line next to the bushes before reaching the windows with the freshly made cone smell coming out of the vent above.  Eventually, you'll reach the door to get in, but you have to wait until the line clears enough room inside the door.

It's a silent agreement to keep the door closed until you get in so you don't let all the heat/AC or chaos rush in all at once.

A Busy Night At Acushnet Creamery

I found myself right in that exact situation last night. I was next in line, standing at the door, waiting for space to open up inside before stepping in.

Then a delivery driver shows up. He asked to get through as he identified himself as a DoorDash driver. Naturally, I said yes. I mean, of course I let him go ahead. That is just part of the deal.

The Door Standoff Nobody Saw Coming

But here is where things got weird.

The driver tries to push the door open but the guy inside? He doesn't budge. Not even a little.  The door is pushing this guy's back, but he just dug in harder.

Full Blown Standoff

The DoorDash driver is pushing harder and harder. The guy inside is leaning into the door like it is the last line of defense. He will not turn around. He will not acknowledge him. Nothing. Just bracing himself and completely ignoring the driver.

This goes on for a solid minute.

Who Wins The Ice Cream Battle

The driver is getting frustrated, dropping a few choice words. The guy inside is still staring straight ahead, acting like nothing is happening.

Eventually, the driver gives up.

Finally, the exit door opens, and the driver slips in that way instead.

Problem solved.

For him.

The Mistaken Identity Problem

But not for me.

The guy inside never turned around. So now, in his mind, I am the one who was relentlessly pushing the door into his back to force my way in. I'm the "pusher" in this guy's mind.

And I am just standing there realizing I am wearing my Fun 107 jacket.

Do You Say Something Or Stay Quiet

I finally get inside, and I am thinking, do I say something?

I did not.

And now that decision is living rent free in my head.

The Reputation Damage Is Done

Somewhere out there, a guy is walking around thinking there is some jerk from Fun 107 who absolutely needed to get into Acushnet Creamery that badly.

And honestly, if I am him, I am thinking the same thing.

There is only one person on the Fun 107 staff who would fit that description.

And yeah, unfortunately, that is me.
