Delivery drivers (such as UPS, FedEx and Amazon) often ring the doorbell—and then run away. A popular meme jokes about this.
   
“As a kid, did you ever knock on people’s doors and run away before they could answer? Well, guess what…we are hiring” (shown on an image with a UPS driver) was posted on Facebook by The Old Man Club on March 28, 2016. “As a kid did u ever knock on people’s doors and run away before they answered? Well guess what, they’re hiring” (with the same UPS driver photo, but slightly different wording) was posted on Twitter by Sabrina Pinheiro, MD on March 16, 2018.
