Was I right to complain and would you be worried?

Just had a delivery driver from Dominos unable
to find our house (village but not the easiest to find, though Amazon manages fine!). They called my phone and were clearly stressed,
I could see them going back and forth every few minutes while on the phone but because of how far we are from the main road I couldn’t go out (dc at home). He started raising his voice saying ‘im on ‘green’ lane!’ Almost angry over and over.

I felt really intimidated. He didn’t say anything to make me feel like that it was just the tone and then general way the conversation was. He must have then realised where it was and hung up, then absolutely raced down our drive, I thought he was going to hit the house. When I opened the door he pushed the pizza to me and didn’t say a word then drove off again reversing at high speed. I was on the phone to the dominos place literally at the time he arrived as they had called me to say their driver couldn’t find where we are. She could tell I was shocked when he turned up and was probing to ask if I was ok, I said I was quite shocked and wasn’t really sure what had just happened and that their are kids often playing and his speed in particular really scared me.

She said she would feed it back to him (no pun intended). I then said I didn’t want her to do that and didn’t want a fuss made as I was worried he would come back and do something awful to us. I have anxiety. Anyway she said she had a duty to feed it back to him and she apologised, she was very nice.

I feel really shaken up. For context I am often alone at home with small small children as DH often late at work and we are down a dark ish lane by the village. I am probably overthinking but I feel terrible for even admitting what he had done as he was obviously having a shit night and on next to no pay and no I am also worried I’ve unintentionally riled him up. I ordered food in as I was stressed with work and now this has just made me more stressed!

“I was worried he would come back and do something awful to us” Lunatic.

I’ve had time to reflect on the posts and also my reaction.

I’m genuinely surprised that people have such low expectations.

I’d lose my job if I interacted with a client like that. Being stressed at work surely isn’t an excuse for that behaviour? it’s not like we were getting something for free, we’d spent over 25 quid!

How the hell did you manage to get a dominos for £25? I spend more than that on just me and DH!

Presumably it was just for her. DH wasn’t home and the kids were asleep

What’s that got to do with it

People get bad feedback about their performance all the time. Never have I heard of anyone getting "revenge' for it.
Would u feel the same if it was a female delivery driver?

@ToKittyornottoKitty sorry I don’t understand your post. I didn’t say he was a bad person?

Stop gaslighting.

You said - "as I was worried he would come back and do something awful to us. "
That's suggesting he is a bad person.

I suggest you keep away from ordering foid to your house. You can't manage, you literally saw the lost driver driving around, could you not have helped him, flash a torch or something. Even directed him. I wouldnt be suprised if the pizza place you used are too busy to go anywhere near you, you sound a waste of time. How much did you tip?

You can’t manage and you are a waste of time??? This is so rude. You’re a bully.
