‘My food is covered in pee’: China customer accuses delivery man of urinating on her meal, surveillance footage shows dog is culprit

A traveller in China was shocked to find her takeaway meal was covered in urine and angrily blamed the delivery man.

She was staying at a guest house in the northern province of Hebei when she made the unwelcome discovery.

However, surveillance footage revealed that the real culprit was of the four-legged variety.

The footage shows a delivery man placing the food on the floor by the door outside the room the customer is staying in. A minute later, a dog can be seen walking towards the bag of food.

As soon as the woman received the delivery notification on her mobile, she opened the door to pick up the food and immediately noticed it was covered in urine.

Assuming the delivery man was responsible, she sent him a photo of the food along with an indignant text message.

“My food is covered in pee. This is so rude,” the customer wrote.

“Why am I rude?” the confused driver replied.

The furious customer then called the driver.

“Why don’t you just admit it? We are the only two people who have touched the bag of food, and I’m hardly likely to pee on my own food, am I?” she said.

No matter how many times the driver protested his innocence, the customer would not believe him, so he suggested she check the security footage.

The woman contacted the owner of the guest house they watched the surveillance film together and that is when they spotted the next door neighbour’s dog doing what he should not have been doing.

The customer felt so guilty and she immediately called the delivery man to apologise.

Many people on mainland social media found the story highly amusing.

“Hahaha, what a naughty dog,” one person said.

“The dog played a prank,” another quipped.

“The dog must have smelled the appetising food,” said a third.

Stories about food delivery drivers often trend in China.

In December last year, a snooty woman in southwestern China who tried to get a food delivery worker ejected from a Starbucks coffee shop because she thought he was inferior, caused outrage.

In July last year, online observers slammed two well-dressed women on a riverbank picnic in southern China who made a food delivery driver’s life hell with their vague directions and arrogant attitude.
