Most of us have gotten unnecessarily startled at some point in our lives, like seeing a shadow in the corner and thinking that someone is there, and then had to laugh at ourselves later.
From hearing a loud noise to thinking a spider is crawling on us to seeing something that's not there, the world is full of unnecessary scare possibilities!
But at least most of those don't involve screaming in someone's face...twice.
And that was exactly what TikToker @angejoliefaith did at 5:00AM when she was letting her dog out to do their business for the first time that day, only to come face-to-face with an anonymous Amazon delivery driver.
While the driver was scanning the package to drop off the early delivery, the TikToker opened her front door while he was still standing on her front stoop.
Not expecting anyone to be in front of her house at such an early hour, the TikToker was startled and then screamed a bloodcurdling scream that would make a dinosaur from Jurassic Park cower in fear.
Hilariously, the driver flinched at the first scream, but when the TikToker released a second scream, the driver held his package scanner up to his face like someone holding a teddy bear close for protection. When the screaming stopped, the driver clumsily stepped down from the porch and hurried out of the view of the security camera.

Some could not stop laughing over the double scream.

Others agreed but also felt terrible for the terrified delivery driver.

This was clearly all a hilarious misunderstanding in the early hours of the morning when most of us are not the most awake or functional. When the TikToker wasn't expecting to see anyone except her dog and her own reflection, and the driver was just going about his business, scanning and dropping off packages, suddenly bringing the two face-to-face was a recipe for disaster.
Hopefully, that driver had a wonderful rest of his day, and maybe a quiet day off the next day to recover.
