Delivery driver uses hilarious “self-memes” to calm angry customers

Muhammad Hazrat, 23, uses hilarious memes and messages to amuse his delivery customers.

It’s common knowledge that being a food delivery driver isn’t all that much of a walk in the park.

Some days, you’ll have to battle torrents of rain to get to your delivery destination. And on others, the sweltering sun makes it near impossible to bear when having to drive long distances. Either way, chances are that your deliveries run late. And naturally, your customers are not too happy about their food arriving later than expected.

One local delivery driver, however, has cracked the code to that. No matter what the situation, he has side-splitting, self-made memes of his own mug to send to his customers. And safe to say, he does manage to keep the angry outbursts out of the way with his witty replies.

Muhammad Hazrat Ali Dezi, a 23-year-old hailing from Johor finds joy in creating these out-of-pocket meme masterpieces. “I’ve met many customers, each of them with their own colorful personality. There was even once I’d witnessed a domestic spat between a husband and wife, simply because their food arrived late. So I make it a point to try and diffuse the tension with some light humor and banter.”, he says.

“A lot of the time, delays are caused by the vendors themselves. Hectic days at their outlets may cause them to prepare delivery orders a little later than usual. And such happenings are really out of our control, we are simply riders who pick up and deliver the orders sent to us.”, he adds.

One of Muhammad Hazrat’s viral memes of him flying in a wash basin.

The meme that shot him to social media stardom is one of him “flying” to a delivery destination in a black washbasin. He had sent this in response to a customer who has sent him the message, “Be careful. The roads are slippery, it’d rained earlier.” As a reply, he’d sent the meme along with the message, “I’m not taking the roads, sis. I’m coming in a washbasin.” Netizens came across his uproarious texts, messages, and memes through a TikTok video he had uploaded earlier in the year.

“I just want everyone to smile”, he says of his amusing little pastime. He does admit that the hectic life of being a delivery rider doesn’t give him time to leave an entertaining message to all of his customers. But when he does find time, especially while waiting for his orders to be ready, he makes sure to put in the effort to brighten his customers’ day.

He also adds, “I don’t really look at who or how old the customer may be. Everyone needs a lift now and then. And I do this in hopes that my messages and memes will bring them a smile during a difficult period in their lives.”

Most of his customers have responded positively to his smart comebacks and unusual memes. Some have sent him uplifting messages in return while others were so taken with his jokes and carefree personality that they’d leave him a huge tip. “Tensions can be resolved when there is a two-way open communication with the customers, and in most cases, it works when I do it this way.”, he continues cheerily.

Some of Muhammad Hazrat’s hilarious exchanges with his customers.

But, behind those warm and friendly exchanges of clever wit, lies a fairly dreary story. Muhammad Hazrat’s full-time career as a delivery driver began when he quit his job as a technical assistant at a factory plant in Pasir Gudang when his father experienced a minor stroke at the age of 57.

Muhammad Hazrat meticulously cares for his 57-year-old father, Dezi Sulaiman.

He had to make the difficult decision of leaving his job of 3 years to care for his father who can no longer perform basic, daily tasks on his own anymore. One of his two siblings, Morleha Balqis Dezi, 20, is already married, while the other Muhammad Asif Aslami Dezi, is only 10 years old and currently living in a tahfiz dormitory, leaving him as the sole carer.

He had chosen to be a delivery driver full time for its flexible hours, which gives him better ability to fully care for his dependent father.

But being a delivery driver full-time also poses trials to Muhammad Hazrat. “It’s a challenge to make ends meet. On most days, I’m only able to use RM 20 from my earnings, that too after spending on food and fuel. The rest of it goes towards the home and my father’s medications.”

His long days and multiplied responsibilities even prompted his father to ask him if he was being a burden to Muhammad Hazrat.

The youth, however, answers this question with such grace and tact. He says “I do admit that I have lost my patience dealing with someone who needs full-time care. However, this experience has helped me grow as a person and develop my sense of patience in the face of adversity.”

We wish Muhammad Hazrat all the best in his future endeavors.
