An Amazon delivery man may have just unknowingly committed a crime, as he was caught on a front door security camera spitting on a customer's package and smearing the saliva all over the box with his hand. As most of the world takes extra precautions to prevent spreading coronavirus, including incessant hand-washing and avoiding touching one's face or coughing without covering one's mouth, some people are just too shameless to care. In a video captured on Thursday evening at a duplex residence in L.A.'s Hancock Park neighbourhood, an Amazon delivery man is clearly shown leaning over and hucking saliva onto a package that he was in the processing of delivering, and proceeding to wipe his spit across the box with his palm. The vile man then gets up and takes a photo to confirm the delivery, as if nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred.
The reckless act was thankfully caught by security cameras at the residence's front door, and a neighbour and friend of the package recipient promptly contacted Amazon about the horrible incident. A customer service representative watched the footage and actually gasped in horror. They stated that the worker was from a third party delivery service and had been reported, but there's a chance he could still be sent back to work. The same neighbour also responded to the delivery inquiry on the Amazon app with a photo of the package, which clearly shows some sort of liquid smeared on it. “We have high standards for delivery service partners and expect every package to be handled with care," an Amazon spokesperson said. "We've notified the right teams internally and will work with the customer directly on matters related to their package delivery.”

While the act may be disgusting and inconsiderate, it's also verging on criminal during these particularly high risk times. Purposely spitting, licking, or coughing on public items or other people can be considered a low-level felony, as federal law enforcement officials have already charged individuals with making a terrorist threat for intentionally spreading coronavirus through this type of behaviour.
Toilet Licker Tells Dr. Phil She Doesn’t Care If People Die From Coronavirus
Fame-seeking TikTok user, Ava Louise, who filmed herself licking an airplane toilet seat, told Dr. Phil that potentially infecting someone with coronavirus is worth the attention.
A shameless TikTok user by the name of Ava Louise told Dr. Phil in a video call interview that licking an airplane toilet seat and putting others at risk of contracting coronavirus was all worth it as long as she’s getting attention. If you were hoping to feel dumbstruck beyond belief today, you’re in luck. Yet another TikTok user who is definitely not the brightest mind has reached viral fame for licking a toilet seat on camera, as part of the “Coronavirus Challenge” on the app. 21-year-old Ava is making the most of her infuriating newfound fame by (virtually) sitting down with Dr. Phil for an interview about why on earth she would ever do what she did, and she’s blown us all away by making us despise her even more than we did before. Who knew that was even possible?
The self-proclaimed “clout-chaser” admits that the toilet was on her sugar daddy’s private plane and that she’d bleached it beforehand, exposing herself for intentionally tricking the public into thinking she was purposely putting herself and others at risk of catching coronavirus. Despite these alternative circumstances, the heated debate moves forward, and among the many gems that came out of their exchange, Ava confesses that she “was really annoyed that coronavirus was getting more publicity than me.”

The interview becomes particularly tense, as Dr. Phil attempts to make sense of the pure ignorance spewing from Ava’s mouth. As one of the many college students that flocked to Florida for spring break despite the global pandemic, Ava claims that young people “can’t” get coronavirus, and that none of her fellow spring breakers have contracted it. She also says that “old people” are actually the selfish ones for trying to limit the freedom of young people, since older people are “the ones who could die.” When Dr. Phil asks Ava, “if you infect one person that loses their life, is it worth it for you to have this attention?” she says yes, then proceeds to threaten to “pull up and cough on” Dr. Phil himself. He tells Ava that she has a “spoiled and entitled attitude” and asks viewers to “completely disregard everything [she’s] saying.” That’s probably some good advice. Watch the full interview in the clips below and try not to lose your mind.
