A Cuban delivery person named Yaime Moreno has become a TikTok sensation with a video that lasts only seconds in which she confesses the fear that haunts her every time she delivers a package: it's not that she's afraid of being filmed doing her job poorly, but that a camera will catch her stumbling.
"I live with the constant fear that a customer will record a video with their ring camera while I'm delivering a package. Not because of how I deliver the package, but because of the things that happen to me while delivering it," Yaime starts off with a naturalness that won over half of the internet.
To illustrate her distress, the young woman used a classic Cuban expression: “Right now, I just tripped over a boniato—if you don’t know what that is, it’s a sweet potato—almost opening the customer’s door and having lunch with him inside.” And she concluded with resignation: “And that happens every day, every day. If it’s not a boniato, it’s the box I tripped over. Oh my God!”
The clip garnered over 492,000 views, 30,000 likes, and more than 1,000 comments, igniting a wave of supportive confessions in the comments section that became a spectacle in its own right.
A user recounted that during their time as an Amazon delivery driver, they had to climb a tree to escape from three Dobermans, and the owner came out with a cellphone, though they weren't sure if a video of the incident was recorded. Another shared how they slipped in the rain because they refused to let go of their phone: "I took the biggest fall of my life at 35 years old." One user mentioned that they hit their head on a hanging plant pot on a customer's balcony—camera included—to which Yaime immediately responded: "I have a similar story involving a lantern."
The Cuban term "boniato" also sparked its own debate in the comments. One user claimed they had never heard that expression in Cuba, and Yaime dismissed them with three words and an emoji: "You are not Cuban."
Even a customer joined the thread with a comment that captures the spirit of the video: "Don't worry, I won't publish it, I respect your privacy, but believe me, everyone at home is dying of laughter."
Yaime is not the first Cuban delivery person to go viral with the ups and downs of the job. A Cuban delivery person warned her customers about loose dogs in March 2025, and a delivery person went viral after mistaking a ceramic dog for a real one caught on security camera. Cubans working for delivery platforms in the United States have found TikTok to be the perfect space to turn the stress of the route into collective comedy.
What Yaime perhaps didn't expect was that her greatest fear—showing up on social media because of a Ring camera—would come true in the most ironic way possible: she went viral all on her own, without any customer having to post anything.
