Nick Bowden, 25 years old, was nursing a hangover when decided to use his gift voucher from Deliveroo and order a 14-piece bargain bucket meal from KFC, SWNS reports.
When his delivery arrived, he opened his front door to reveal a horrifying sight—his ex-girlfriend. She apparently works as a delivery driver now and she’s holding his bucket of fried chicken.
Bowden claimed that his ex-girlfriend refused to give him the food. He also claimed that she threw words of abuse at him and then she angrily left. Bowden did not even get his bucket of fried chicken.
Bowden said, “I opened the door and she was stood there and she was like ‘alright’, and I said hi.
“Then she was like, ‘Where’s my money?’ I said, ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about’.
“[I had said] to her, ‘Oh not this again’. I was there like ‘can I just have my food?’ and she looked at me and said no.
“I didn’t know how to react. I was there stood still thinking, ‘What’s going on?’ I was so hungover and so confused.
“I said, ‘Can I have my food please?’ and she said no. I was stood there in my dressing gown and I said, ‘You do realize I’m going to get more free food and you will probably get the sack?’
“Then her face dropped and she ran off.”
Bowden, who’s from Bedminster, Bristol, said that the two broke up three years ago, due to a financial argument.
Bowden said, “For the first time everything was on time and the food was there, but then I opened the door. I phoned customer support and the guy on the phone was lovely, but he said I don’t know what to do. I can give you £5 free credit.”
He continued, “We had a good old laugh for about half an hour, everyone who was sat around him was laughing saying this is ridiculous. After I phoned up they said we can refund or reorder.
According to Bowden, he had three bottles of red wine and Prosecco the day before while he was hanging out with friends.
Bowden said, “At the time, I was so hung over I said will you please reorder for me. I said just make sure it’s not her. They said they can’t get hold of her so I think she knows she’s messed up.”
A spokesperson for Deliveroo said, “If there is an issue with a delivery, our policy is normally to offer customers the choice of a re-delivery or account credit, which we did in this case, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused to the customer.”
