A delivery app mistakenly sent someone else’s fried chicken to my apartment. I never ordered it. When I contacted support, they asked me to personally bring it to the correct apartment for a small coupon. I replied, “Me?” and they then told me to dispose of it myself. Was my response uncivil or low-class behavior?

You were not uncivil. “Me?” is a brief expression of surprise at an unreasonable request, not an insult or personal attack. The company made the mistake, not you. Asking you to act as their unpaid courier to fix it goes beyond what a customer is obligated to do. You had already done the polite thing by contacting support instead of simply keeping or discarding the food without saying anything. That shows cooperation, not low-class behavior. At most, your reply was curt. But curt is not the same as rude, especially when responding to a request that shifts responsibility from the business onto you.

The response 'Me?' is a natural, concise expression of surprise and disbelief at an absurd request. The delivery app made the mistake, yet expected the innocent recipient to personally deliver the food to the correct address for just a small coupon—an unreasonable burden. Uncivil behavior involves rudeness, hostility, or insults; 'Me?' is neither. It's polite incredulity, not low-class entitlement. True low-class would be demanding compensation or threats. Support's pivot to 'dispose of it' confirms their poor service; the customer's query highlighted this without incivility. Questioning illogical demands is reasonable and civil.

Your response of "Me?" was neither uncivil nor low-class; it was a completely natural reaction to an unreasonable request. The delivery app made the mistake, and it is entirely their responsibility to fix it, not yours. Asking a customer to act as an impromptu delivery driver for a "small coupon" is highly unprofessional on the company's part. It places an unfair burden on you to correct their logistical error, and doing so could even be awkward or present safety concerns when knocking on a stranger's door. Your one-word reply effectively communicated your valid surprise and boundary-setting without using any offensive language or resorting to insults. You handled an absurd customer service request reasonably.

Absolutely not. Saying "Me?" in response to being asked to correct someone else's mistake is a perfectly reasonable and restrained reaction. The delivery app made the error — not you. You had no obligation whatsoever to act as an unpaid courier to fix their logistical failure, especially for a mere "small coupon." Expressing surprise or mild incredulity at an unreasonable request is not uncivil. It's a natural, justified response. You didn't curse, insult anyone, or make demands. You simply questioned why the burden of correcting their mistake was being placed on you — which is a fair point. If anything, the app's request was the inappropriate behavior here. Asking a customer (who didn't even place the order) to personally deliver food to a stranger's apartment raises safety and liability concerns. Your one-word response was remarkably civil given the circumstances.

Final Summary

• No: The delivery app’s request was the actual breach of decorum; asking a non-customer to act as an unpaid courier for a stranger's food creates safety and liability risks that make a one-word expression of disbelief remarkably civil.
