Necroposting kind of goes both ways. If done properly, it's not inherently bad. Maybe the OP wants to follow up, or the thread provides a solid base of discussion to build upon. Although, as user accounts get deleted, older threads might have a broken flow so other posts in the thread are now out of context. Depending on how old the thread it, the information might even be out of date. So, it might still be a good idea to start a new thread anyway.

When it becomes a problem are personals ads which don't age well.. I'd even go so far as to say if the thread is more than 3 months ago, don't bother replying. this is because there's no practical way to track whether the thread was successful, if the OP is still interested, still single, etc. The OP can always make another thread.

I get the sometimes intense desire to find someone, but bumping old threads, especially when the OP is long gone, not only doesn't help but makes the personing doing the necroposting look bad.

Another time when it's a problem is if someone bumps an old thread just to start a problem when none exist. I almost locked a recent thread where someone did just that, but I decided I would wait to see how it played out.

On "My 600lb Life," there were quite a few.

One of the featured patients had his own tow truck business despite being a little over 700 lbs.

Aside from the tow truck, which of course had a front bench seat and a column shifted automatic transmission, his regular daily driver car was a Lincoln Towncar, which also had a front bench seat and a column shifter.

Another patient was an accountant that, despite weighing nearly 750 lbs, showed up to the office every day. They either had a business casual dress policy, or due to size, simply didn't mind he wore a polo shirt with no tie to work each day. He had an L-shaped desk carefully arranged around a special chair.

I haven't seen every episode but there's likely a few more, so yeah there's quite a few such jobs and probably almost any desk job or indoor office job would work.

The tow truck driver was probably the most active from what I recall, though.

While not as big, there's definitely quite a few construction workers and tradesmen who exceed 300 or 350. This is anecdotal but I've seen it. On the other hand, I don't know if I've seen any extension ladders with a weight capacity that exceeds 400, and exceeding that would be very dangerous as I don't know how much "buffer" was built-in to that.

This reads like a personal ad which is fine, but I'm moving this to the appropriate board.

Minimum plus tips? That's new. Maybe only during certain times and you're expected to maintain a minimum acceptance rate?

When I did it, there was no guaranteed wage at all, you'd only get paid if an order came in, you accepted it, and it was delivered. Some time periods would have almost no orders at all.

Anyway, if you do it, at least do these things:

The early evening hours are the only time the pay approaches something closer to say, pizza delivery. So basically 5:30 to 6PM until maybe around 9:30PM.

After 10PM, that's when most of the takeout restaurants will close, and that's when you start dealing with the drunks. Not worth it.

Speaking of the actual delivery, there was no contactless option back then. I had to physically hand the bag over, every single time. If they don't answer the door? I have to wait until they do. I once had to wait 10-15 minutes, meanwhile not getting paid. Hated that shit so much. That would have been a godsend back then.

Above all, avoid the crowded downtown areas or anywhere parking is tight. Even one parking ticket wipes out any income for the day, and that also takes much longer. The sooner orders get finished, the more tips you can get.

I also remembered one time spending an hour looking for an apartment because it was kind of hidden out of the way and the phone call relay system decided to fail that night, but that's a one off and not typical.

Eventually you'll learn which restaurants are slow, so you might think twice about accepting orders from them. I remember one time an order was a steakhouse, and I waited half an hour unpaid for it to get cooked. I'd eventually get more tip for doing that but I didn't know that going in.

Speaking of tips, don't prioritize the rich areas. The tips aren't generally any better, usually about the same or sometimes worse, and sometimes there's a greater sense of entitlement. Some of the best tips came from those living in cheap, kind of run down apartments.

And perhaps obviously, don't go into the dangerous parts of town, ever. I heard of cases of the car getting stolen and the driver getting robbed. Yet I've also heard that if you carry a gun and use it, they'll fire you for it, regardless of the reason, even if perfectly justified (like getting assaulted or robbed).

Moving this thread/request to the appropriate board.

This reads like a personals ad, which is fine. But I'm moving this to the appropriate board.

Have you done DoorDash before at all, or not? If you're really insistent, there might be a few tips I can share. But, if you have any other options, I strongly recommend NOT doing it. Once you actually do the math, the pay is extremely bad, although better than Uber or Lyft, which are basically scams.

For about 1.5 months in '18, I tried doing it part-time just to see what the hype was about. The effective rate, after taxes and expenses (mainly gas) was only a pathetic $8/hr., though some time periods were higher than others. Might be even worse now, but I don't really know.

You'd probably be better off trying to get an evening wait staff job at a restaurant first. That pay still sucks, but should be a lot better. Especially if you do a Friday or Saturday evening. Just make sure it doesn't expect you to come in to work before your day job ends. Places like that love to hire part-timers with no benefits, so you might be able to be flexible like that. The evenings are also when all the good tips happen, and it's often not that busy before around 6PM or so, so if you work your day job until 5PM, you can probably get there and change in time.
