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

My next door neighbour drunkenly bought an actual decommissioned fire engine! His wife was NOT impressed when that turned up! Kids loved it though.

Last year I drunk booked a holiday overseas for my husband and I.

Now we live in Australia and who knows if where we are going will have their borders open, we have 6 months yet, so miracles can happen.

Half of me thinks I was a drunken idiot. I did it so quickly and even had the accommodation booked the day after - I was on fire, boosted by white wine, encouraged by work colleagues and my husband. Anything feels achievable after a few drinks and a meat pie.

The other half of me thinks fuck it, it is what is is, who knows, it may happen, if not then the flights are refundable.

(Sigh)

I ordered a snakes and ladder rug once when coming down from a general. Was the biggest wtf moment for ages.

Interested in this thread?

When I last did this it was an excellent coffee table book about David Bowie.

My DH does this regularly. That last item to show up a couple weeks ago was a ukulele... he's never played a musical instrument in his life. Apparently drunk him decided now was the time to start. Sober him says no, but can't be arsed to return it 🙄

QueefofSheena · 23/02/2022 13:36

I drunk ordered a bottle of Fallen Angel blackcurrant gin the other night. I’d wanted it for ages (mainly for the bottle) but my pissed brain thought ‘fuck it’. It’s coming at the weekend so I hope it’s as nice as the Tanqueray version!

@Latenightreader

A friend ordered a giant inflatable mushroom once. Sadly I think he returned it...
Hilarious 😆

Hope your order is far more exciting than the one single pack of noodles that i have just had delivered.

I once had a package delivered that completely freaked me out. It was a copy of the highway rat and a balaclava. I knew I hadn't ordered it as we already have the book and I don't need a balaclava Confused I was thinking 'omg this is sinister, are we going to get robbed? Who would do this, what does it mean?!' Ds aged 5 had ordered it from an old kindle he was playing with Blush

I decided to plan my midlife crisis when pissed a few weeks ago. Ordered bright blue hair dye and messaged a tattoo studio to request an appointment. Sober me was a bit baffled tbh.

JustJam4Tea · 23/02/2022 20:50

Ordered £30 worth of dried porcini. I was sober.

KittenKong · 23/02/2022 20:54

This is why phones should come with a breathalyser. Drunk tweeting and drunk online ordering in Not Good.

@tiredanddangerous
I’m imagining you with a notebook and pen slurring out loud precisely planning your midlife crisis right down to the wardrobe

Soubriquet · 24/02/2022 09:44

First things first, you can reject the item when it’s being delivered and it will be sent back for a refund.

Second thing. What the hell is gnome syrup?!

Dh has done sleep shopping before. He bought a partially coloured in colouring book. I was Hmm

He was Confused

I ordered a bottle cutter whilst under the influence at the weekend. I get loads of empty wine bottles, what I can do with lots of bottles cut into pieces I do not know.
Get someone with a glass kiln to fuse the pieces and make them into wind chimes.
StuntNun · 24/02/2022 10:20

Oh yay a new frying pan has just arrived! All the non-stick was peeling off the old one. And DS2 now has a new drum key to go with the other three drum keys he already had but this one can be attached to a KEYRING!

You can buy pre-used colouring books Soubriquet?! Gomme syrup is a sugar syrup with added gum arabic for a smoother texture to shaken cocktails. It also doesn't crystallise out and go crusty over time like sugar syrup does.
