TikToker Alexander Martin posted a video last week of a disturbing UPS delivery captured by his home surveillance.
In the video, a UPS driver can be seen approaching the home with a package. He glances at the pride flag hanging on the porch, places the delivery and then proceeds to spit in the mailbox.
As he is leaving, the driver takes another glance at the flag and then mutters something.
The video was captioned:
"Hey UPS you want to tell me why your driver spit in my mailbox, looked directly at my pride flag, and then used profanity?"
@amx0110 Hey UPS you want to tell me why your driver spit in my mailbox, looked directly at my pride flag, and then used profanity? #ups
Viewers on Twitter—where it was shared by @Imposter_Edits—expressed their disgust.
\u201c@Imposter_Edits Nobody noticed the flag? After he spit he looked at it on his way out.\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820

Several other responses challenged UPS to take action.
\u201cHey, @UPS: Are you OK with your bigoted drivers spitting in the mailboxes of customers who simply display a pride flag at their private homes? \n\nBecause I bet many of your other potential customers are not.\u201d— Mrs. Betty Bowers (@Mrs. Betty Bowers) 1664293006
\u201c@Imposter_Edits The mailbox is only used by the United States Postal Service. It\u2019s not for UPS Amazon etc. so there is No reason for him to even open it. A Delivery Driver is not supposed to go in any mailbox even at a customer request. He should be fired @UPS. Spitting in ppl mailbox. Criminal!\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits @UPS Are you guys cool with this? Spitting in someone's mailbox because they fly a pride flag? Disgraceful.\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820

\u201c@Imposter_Edits Please tell me he\u2019s already been fired. \ud83d\ude31\ud83e\udd22\ud83d\ude21\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits @USPSHelp\n Did you see this? Whether he intended to steal mail or just spit into the box because he's a bigot, either way I'm pretty sure this is mail tampering. You should reach out to tiktok user amx0110 about their ring surveillance footage & press charges. And publicize it.\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits Isn't tampering with someone's mailbox is a federal offense. Totally unacceptable @UPS\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits Spitting in a mailbox is actually a federal crime.\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits Spitting into a customer\u2019s mailbox. What do you think, @USPISpressroom?\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits @UPS This is sick.\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
\u201c@Imposter_Edits @UPS this is beyond unacceptable & I\u2019m positive that @USPS is unaware of the deliveries that your disgusting driver is leaving behind for your mail carriers and the resident of that home. Take care of it \ud83d\ude21 https://t.co/N8m9x9UqMu\u201d— \ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@\ud83e\udd40_Imposter_\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f) 1664287820
