Almost every fucking week I order something I don't want. This time it's 4 packs x aaa batteries when I wanted 3 x aa batteries and 1 x aaa batteries. For fuck's sakes [angry]

I have found my people.

Admittedly I could have found them some time ago, by the towering monuments of cat food and cheese straws piled outside their houses.

My husband got 500 face masks delivered to our home instead of his work. They are still here. I guess there’s less convenient things to have right now!

@MakeAPeaCry

Early days online grocery shopping and my Dad was a keen adopter of this fancy new way of doing his shopping.

He proudly ordered:

6 x bananas
12 x tomatoes
6 x apples
24 x potatoes
20 x carrots

and so on.

Turns out they came in kgs!

My mum did that recently. Her neighbours were all very grateful

FourDecades · 06/10/2020 18:47

It might not be your fault. Two weeks on the trot l had items mysteriously appear in my shopping that l hadn't ordered.

I have used Tesco online shopping for 10 years now so l know it wasn't me not knowing how to use it.

When you confirm your order, check the email that comes as it states on there what is ordered

Smallsteps88 · 06/10/2020 18:47

Ended up walking to my mums and asking to borrow two tea bags

The people who order 12 kilos of bananas etc- do you ever look at the price of your order before you confirm it?

everythingisginandroses · 06/10/2020 18:46

16 boxes of cheese straws made me larf!

Intelinside57 · 06/10/2020 18:42

You see? People aren't panic buying on-line, just getting their quantities muddled.

Maggins · 06/10/2020 18:41

I can’t tell you what a relief it is to read there are people as confused as me.
I find online ordering a bloody nightmare, I have the memory of a goldfish so find duplicate ordering an occupational hazard.

Mcmole · 06/10/2020 18:41

Not on the same level as some of these but DH was confused when he unpacked the shopping I'd ordered and found a Tesco's brand smoked paprika and then a Schwartz smoked paprika. Such a random ingredient to have ordered x2!

SusieSusieSoo · 06/10/2020 18:41

Op I reserve my Tesco slot 4 weeks ahead & put 2 big packs of pampers in to secure the slot & checkout. Then I fill the basket & remove the pampers when it gets nearer the day the night before the delivery slot.

In the summer when I was losing the plot I had to return the pampers to the driver twice. DS is 8 next month😆🤷‍♀️

FoxParty · 06/10/2020 18:37

Lol that reminds me of the time I booked 2 leg waxes, because I wanted both my legs done, why I thought you might need to book them individually who knows! But rather than admit my error I convinced a friend to come with me and get hers done at the same time as my treat ahaha, what a weird treat eh!!

Enko · 06/10/2020 18:36

I once ordered 12 rice puddings.. Only they were 6 packs of rice puddings..

RefriedBeanz · 06/10/2020 18:35

I’ve been trying to buy tea bags for the last 2 days.

Went to Sainsbury’s yesterday. Came back with £30 worth of things I didn’t need and forgot the teabags.

Went to the pound shop today, really only for teabags. Spent another £15 (Admittedly on things we will use) and, again, came back without teabags.

Ended up walking to my mums and asking to borrow two tea bags 🤣

swg1 · 06/10/2020 18:33

I generally put my Morrisons order in a week in advance. Usually it's pretty much the same stuff.

One week the delivery driver arrived at 10 to drop off my order and returned, grinning, at 12 with an identical order. Apparently I had forgotten I put it in and did it again.

Ireolu · 06/10/2020 18:33

I always do 4 of the 6 pack bananas... What to do with 24 bananas we don't want or need. It's indeed annoying

SilenceOfThePrams · 06/10/2020 18:31

We had floor to ceiling boxes of cat food once. Two full columns of twelve boxes of single sachets. That took a while to work through.

And 7 kilos of bananas.

Kidsarekids · 06/10/2020 18:30

I’ll raise you 16 packets of cheese straws, too embarrassed to tell the driver I didn’t want the other 15 so I just had to eat them all.

@unmarkedbythat

There are 34 packets of couscous in my kitchen cupboard. This comes from the time I accidentally ordered 40 instead of 4 and would not admit to the delivery driver, DH or anyone else that I had made a mistake. It is probably lucky that we don't usually order our shopping online because I would fuck it up like a boss every time.

I did this on a slightly smaller scale when I rather inconveniently ordered 11 celeries instead of 1. I wouldn't admit I had made an error and ate it pretty much daily for 2 weeks....

Livebythecoast · 06/10/2020 18:27

@NoCureForLove

And have ordered these kin denim trousers too. Bargain compared to Toast prices but depends what they are like in rl. Hoping they'll be considerably longer on my short arse...

@NoCureForLove but lovely trousers anyway

KeziaOAP · 06/10/2020 18:27

Thought I ordered 6 loose onions received 6 packs of 15 🙄

HesterShaw1 · 06/10/2020 18:25

@Smallsteps88

How upsetting. Maybe you could try not doing that next week?

This made me laugh and laugh

@nikkylou

It so easy to mess up the quantities.

I'm good at fucking up the veg. I swear they change round kg / quantity on every other one, and its never the same as last time.

So I can order, 3 carrots but courgettes are in kilos. But then it
changes the carrots later, to actually you want 0.3kg but I don't...I want THREE. But next time.... I can order 3 courgettes, but carrots... have to be guesstimated as kilos.

Plus occasionally it does some stupid average thing - you want 4 peppers, but it won't let you type 4 peppers, so you have to guess and go okay - 0.5kg peppers. but its decided a pepper is 157.4556g (secretly) - you have to type 0.63kg, which you've assumed must be 4 as it goes up in 157g increments....

I can only assume it then decided to round that figure... and present me with...1 romano pepper.

I can see why no-one orders loose veg...

That made my head spin 🤪 No I definitely could not cope with loose produce!!!

I cleared out my Dad's kitchen cupboards before he moved once. Two dozen tubs of gravy powder. No online mixups - he just bought some when ever he was out as he didn't like to run out.

Makes miskeying a zero seem quite sane!

Wrong thread! As you were...

Lol! I was reading your post assuming you'd ordered the wrong trousers
