Delivery driver Mark Polchleb Doordash: 'stay away from door friends!', apologizes on TikTok
In an awkward moment, the hungry man scares a delivery worker who yells at his dog to ‘stay away from the door’ – and then is so annoyed by the guilt that he sets out on a quest to track him down.
- TikTok of Melbourne man telling delivery man ‘stay out of door’ goes viral
- Mark Polchleb was horrified after seeing the vision and started tracking it
- Delivery driver Sami Obeid is tracked down in a truly heartwarming video
- Delivery service DoorDash thanks Sami for his service with a raise
An Aussie who accidentally shouted at the delivery driver – when in fact he was shouting at his dog – has tracked him down to apologize personally.
Last week, hungry Melbourne man Mark Polchleb posted a video showing CCTV footage of a misunderstanding he had with his DoorDash driver.
The footage shows the delivery driver bringing his McDonalds to the man, before jumping in fright as Mr Polchleb shouts “Get out of the door, pals!”
The driver inched backwards from the door and left the delivery on the mat.
After seeing the security vision, Polchleb posted a clip of TikTok asking for help contacting the driver, Sami Obeid, who has amassed more than 35 million views so far.

After watching security footage of the incident, Polchleb (pictured) realized that the driver thought he was talking to him, set out to track him down to apologize and thank him.
‘Could someone tell this sweet, sweet Uber Eats guy I’m yelling at my dog and not him?’ he says.
Fellow TikTok users commented on the video clearly feeling the feelings of the delivery man and driver.
‘I WILL CRY FOR A WEEK IF I DO THIS OMG CAN YOU FIND IT IN YOUR APP HOW,’ wrote one person.
‘I WILL LOSE SLEEP FOR HARISSSSSS,’ said another.
Clearly distressed over how the events unfolded, Mr Polcheb revealed in a subsequent TikTok that he was ‘absolutely losing sleep’ over the incident saying the driver was ‘so sweet’ and calling his dog a ‘threat’.

So begins his journey to track down driver Sami to personally thank him and apologize.
Just one day after the original video was posted, Sami was found.
After making contact, Mr Polcheib arranged to meet Sami in person, to apologize and give him a token of appreciation.
However, it would have been a happier ending as DoorDash company wanted to acknowledge their delivery driver’s good attitude by giving him a raise.
‘️We are so inspired by your love and kindness for Sami that we will be giving him Top Dasher status for life and an extra Dasher fee,’ a statement from a DoorDash representative read.
Sami also received publicity for a GoFundMe fundraiser set up by his daughter to help fund a trip back to his homeland, France, to see his son.
‘I came to Australia 8 years ago as a refugee and I haven’t seen my son for 10 years. He lives in France, and I have to do some work to book a plane ticket to see him.’
The GoFundMe page has raised over $6,000 in just 4 days.
One person who donated commented, ‘This is one of the good things to come from the internet. Please take every penny with pride. I love you !!!’
‘I don’t know you personally but I love you so much!! Everything will be fine, I hope you see your son soon!❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sending a lot of love, I will definitely donate more whenever I get the chance,’ wrote another donor.
