Is there some kind of dumb challenge for delivery drivers that I don't know about? A person delivers a Walmart box today that my wife ordered. My pickup and flatbed trailer are parked on the side of the driveway, between the driveway and the porch. This person stopped and climbed over the hitch put the box on the porch and went back the same way, when all he had to do was walk or drive the length of the pickup and he could have walked around it. There are steps on both sides of the porch, they would have been right there. Makes you wonder if they would trip and fall and get hurt climbing over could I claim stupidity on their part.

My wife has wisely started using the delivery service from Walmart for such things as cat litter and other large bulky things.  Yes getting old sucks about other things than auto maintenance. But it is just by luck the deliver persons have found themselves out of a town and maybe at right address to bring thing too. At least 50% cannot speak English good enough to ask a question. They hold up their phone up and point at the name and address and ask "you". So walking at path that becomes a mine field of objects, when there is a clear path on the other side of a parked car would be the norm.
