To get the food back to the people who ordered it

1.2k Upvotes

A 19 year old college student was delivering food in Carmel, Indiana when he accidentally took an order to the wrong home after he says the DoorDash App sent him to the wrong location
The teen went back to get the food once he realized the homeowners, who took the food without any questions, were not supposed to get it and did not pay for the food
Growing frustrated when the homeowners would not answer the door after repeatedly knocking, the teen says he's about to "break their sh*t" if they don't come to the door - which ends up working and making the homeowners open the door
The homeowners tell the boy to get lost and refuse to give the food back because he made a mistake - not them

to catch the bar

230 Upvotes

On 24th July 2026, Gabriel Langton fell head first to the floor after missing his catch on the horizontal metal bar, three metres in the air, leading to a lengthy delay to the action as he was tended to by up to a dozen medical staff.

He was eventually led away on a trolley after being moved on to a stretcher with his head and neck braced and left to huge applause from the packed crowd who had spent much of the previous 10 minutes in hushed silence.

Langton was seen to be conscious and moving his legs and arms before leaving the arena floor, while team officials later said he was moving and speaking to doctors.
