Drunk Amazon ordering

Apparently I was a little drunk at the weekend and ordered some stuff on Amazon. I keep getting messages saying my parcel is x stops away and having no clue what it might be. Who would like to guess what random items I have ordered? Grin

I think the best I've heard was a friends husband ordering what he thought at the time was a mini bouncy castle for the kids.

Totally forgot about it, a few days later an almost full size bouncy castle turned up Grin Good thing they have a big garden.

Grin That's brilliant! I bet the kids were happy.

I may buy some tea stain remover for mugs. I usually just use bleach

I once ordered 14 large hazelnut chocolate bars without checking the price once. I thought I was just ordering 1!

I've practically sleep shopped on Amazon during the night, more than once.

It also works on flasks apparently.

Seems like it could be a problem or an opportunity. What did you do with them all?

Oh and years ago I bid on a lovely little bedside cabinet on Ebay. Turned up, it was a dolls house one. I don't think I'm the only one to have done this though.

My friend once ordered a 6 foot fence post. He doesn't have a fence

Seems like it could be a problem or an opportunity. What did you do with them all? I gave a few away as Christmas presents and ate the rest over the course of about 2 weeks!

@Macademiamum

I don't drink but I still do this a bit. The ones I know I almost bought recently but only just stopped myself (half a bottle of vino they would be in my home now!) were

A set of steak knives.
Soap making supplies.
Diamanté stickers.
A mini waffle maker.
An electric airer.
A microdermabrasion machine.
A heated throw.
Magnetic false eyelashes.

A heated throw is a fantastic purchase and these are bound to go up in price as gas/electric costs rise (the one I have already has) It's literally the best purchase I've made in years...and I have a Eufy!

I was stunned when an Amazon delivery driver lugged a 25 kilo sack of basmati rice down my driveway around a month ago, courtesy of my drunk DH.
I eat rice maybe once a month!

I order things off the ads on Instagram.

Knickers.
A toilet roll holder shaped like an octopus in cast iron which I love
Gym equipment that will never get used
It's a nice surprise usually

Threads like this always remind me of Kate Atkinson's short story Charlene and Trudi (or is it Trudi and Charlene) Go Shopping:

A crystal decanter.
A fingernail.
An egg.
A heart.
A Crown Derby teapot.
A promise.
A mirrored-glass globe in which nothing but the sky is reflected

Not Amazon, but ebay. I now own a cup, saucer and side-plate in the "Royal Doulton With The Blue Periwinkles" style.

The second parcel to arrive yesterday was a bottle of gomme syrup. Hmm Two more parcels still to arrive.

DH says he is hoping for a Russian mail-order bride. Not sure you can get those from Amazon tbh.

A 6ft T. rex for the garden (so nearly did this once but luckily or maybe unluckily they are really expensiveBlush)
My Gds would be in heaven! But he’s only 5.

Oxborn, I have to ask, what the bloody hell is this ? And OP, Do you even have a cat ?

This is a thread reminding people to remove amazon from their phone.

I do some of my best shopping when drunk.

BuddhaForMary · 23/02/2022 11:04

TMI incoming..

The last time I was drunk and lonely and bored I ordered a rampant rabbit in bright purple. I thought I'd only added it to basket, but no, I'd clicked buy now.

That's now forever on my purchase history and I've had to download Amazon on DD11 phone for her to browse, because I'm worried about her using it on my phone just in case related items pop up 😂

Other impulse buys include:
Selfie light
Why men love bitches (book)
A whistling kettle
An oversize X Files T-shirt
Fancy gin
