Youths sit in front of HDB lift to wait for food delivery, shake hands with rider

Youths jokingly sit in front of HDB lift & wait for delivery rider

A group of youths in Singapore decided to inject some fun into the routine of ordering food delivery — by sitting outside the lift to wait for the rider’s arrival.

This led to a light-hearted and friendly exchange between the youths and the rider, who they got to thank for his efforts in getting their food to them.

One of the boys’ mother was able to capture the interaction on video, which she uploaded to TikTok on Monday (11 March).

According to the captions, this happened on Saturday (9 March) night. The mother said that her son and his friends had a sleepover and decided to order a late-night snack on GrabFood.

“The moment they knew the food is round the corner they quickly went out and sat in front of the lift waiting for the driver to arrive,” the mother explained.

In the video, four youths sat cross-legged and in silence on the ground in front of the lift landing.

Snickers could be heard emanating from the boys while they waited for the delivery rider.

When the lift doors opened, the boys greeted the rider. At the same time, the rider seemingly realised that they were all there waiting for him.

The rider then proceeded to hand over the food to the boys, who were all echoing their thanks to the rider.

One by one, the four boys, still seated, stretched out their hands for the rider to shake. Subsequently, he bid them goodbye and re-entered the lift.

The mother added in her captions that although the prank shocked the rider, he was supportive of the boys.
