That is what happened in this funny video shared by freelance wedding photographer and videographer Papsy Lei. In the middle of a heartfelt parent’s blessing, a Shopee delivery rider, oblivious to such a solemn moment, innocently interrupts with the hope of getting his customer’s item delivered.

Another user commented that she had a similar experience during labor and delivery, “Teka lang kuya, iire muna ako! (Kindly wait brother, I’ll just push this baby out!)” Meanwhile, other users even instructed the delivery rider to go directly to the reception and participate in the banquet.
