To feel like a massive idiot?

[onestepat]

So I've been searching for a cheap and cheerful coffee table.
I found one on amazon for £13.99 and it looked decent.
Delivery due today.
Knock on the door ..
Amazon driver with my package
It was a dolls house coffee table
I didn't read the measurements

SerenDippity I did exactly the same, I bet it's the same stuff. At the beginning of Lockdown I asked Alexa to find me some bog paper and she put this stuff in my basket, I was desperate so left it and thought I'd see what would happen. I was expecting a palette of bog paper to turn up and I kept trying to cancel it but got ignored. The clue was in the price, around £10. It turned up a few days ago and the rolls are very small. It came from China and I don't really want it.

OP:I think you need to serve Elizabeth and Emmet their morning coffee on the new table with your Royal Doulten with handpainted periwickles and show us all the result.

I tried to wash the blinds from dd’s bedroom and it went horribly wrong. Saw a cheap one on amazon Which would do until we redecorates so struggled up the step ladders at 8 months pregnant to carefully measure them. You put in the length needed and they are made to order, turns out I was completely confused between CM and inches. They wouldn’t even cover the top but of the window that opens. You can have them for your dolls house if you like. You can easily furnish it with all the too small items from this thread

I've done that loads of times

Buzzfeed is great for things like this www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/online-shopping-fails

I always laugh at the woman who bought new jeans and barbie ones turned up.

At work the lad in charge of stationary ordered 3 desktop sellotape dispensers, when they turned up he could hardly lift the parcel. He had ordered 3 boxes with 10 in each. There were only 4 desks in the office. Everyone who left or retired after that had one as a leaving present.
I still have mine....

I once ordered elastic bands at work I thought they were expensive but still ordered when I opened the box I have never seen so many
It was a box of 10000
When I left they wrapped my leaving presents in them

This thread has made me laugh.

We all do stupid things, I placed a bid on milk frothier, seemed a good bargain, except not working , seems now I have to buy it

Many years ago my (now deceased) DM discovered eBay whilst looking after our DC, this is back in the days of dial up internet and no one really had a clue what they were doing.
I said she could just bid on whatever she liked and then pay me for it later.
She was overjoyed to get a pair of tartan pyjamas for 20p, and literally counted down the days until they arrived.
Tiny parcel came a week later, and they were for Sylvanian Family toys, fitted in the palm of my hand.

My friend once thought she’d ordered a kilo of mushrooms. When her delivery arrived there was one single mushroom, all bagged up and labelled.

I’m a shopper for online orders.

This happens a lot

I regularly pick 1 brussel sprout or 1 mushroom and just think “I bet they mean 1kg”

I can’t pick the kg though as I have to pick what the handset says

This thread has really made me laugh
And that buzzfeed article is brilliant

Hahaha

Here's a roasting tray I bought online recently. Banana for scale.

I just remembered another. A friend texted me recently to say he was going to order some Prosecco and did we want some? There's two types and he was ordering two of each so I said to get us two of each as well. Other local friends were in on it too so I thought he was trying to make up a case. He was buying two cases of each! Luckily I realised before I got in too deep so said get us one of each. I couldn't totally cancel as I'd feel bad but I'm going to have to get stuff to mix with it as I'm not a big Prosecco fan. What a numpty!

5kgs of sweet potatoes instead of 5 sweet potatoes. Haven't eaten them since.

My husband ordered some paint for the front of the house. It got delivered today. Smaller than a packet of fags lol

It would be enough to paint the front of a dolls house
