Real-Life Challenges: The Mace Misadventure
Last month a driver shared on Reddit their harrowing story of being maced during a delivery block.
On a Sunday morning delivery an Amazon Flex driver found themselves in a dangerous road rage encounter. After a merge at a red light, the other driver brake-checked them, then sprayed mace into the Flex driver’s car and chased them, causing burns and package damage. A stark reminder to stay cautious and safe on the road.

Dog Attack: A Frightening Encounter
Another driver faced a terrifying dog attack while making a delivery this month. The aggressive dog broke through the storm door, ripping off the driver’s shoe and biting their ankle. With the homeowner’s help, the dog was pulled away, but the driver needed ER treatment for a severe leg gash.
Encounters with dogs can be unpredictable, but we have some helpful tips on how to handle them in our blog post about dealing with dogs during deliveries here.
