BLUNDER IN ONLINE ORDER - CONDOMS SENT TO CHILDREN!!!

Mother of two, Ejay, only wanted her YOUNG CHILDREN, to take part in a Hallowe'en custom. Imagine her SHOCK, when she discovered Tesco sent her CONDOMS instead of sweeties! Her children, Jay-Zee and Little CharLee (pictured) asked where were their sweets they had picked, so they could share with their friends? Ejay (a war veteran and orphan) spoke to me, barley hold back THE TEARS. "I just wanted my neighbour kids to have a good time Trick or Treating". As she cuddled her eldest (Jay-Zee, 4 - saved a kitten from a fire last Tuesday) he started crying. "My kids are so upset, I mean, we just wanted a few treats. We think this is some sort of TRICK" If it wasn't bad enough to cope with just this, Ejay (Founder of Child's Wishes Charity) spoke of her little daughter, Little CharLee (3, and saved a man's life on Monday). "Little CharLee asked me what was in the box! I broke down. My Baby's INNOCENCE has been broken. I had to tell her it was CONDOMS." It was at this point, the family felt unable to continue the interview. Tesco have apologised for the MISTAKE and sent round extra sweets, some costumes, some party kit and a £400 gift voucher. But we say, this isn't enough! Donate here, and give those little kids the HALLOWE'EN THEY DESERVE!!!

00100001 - the article writes itself! I'll set up a fund raising site - I've even managed to offend DH by exclaiming we won't even be able to use them as they are extra large...

ejay your poor DH. Do you have randy neighbours? Or neighbours with a shed load of DCs? You could post them with a little note.

I am imagining complaints about the jellies being too chewy.

Haha that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while, thank you OP and Tesco

I've never had anything funny as a substitute but have had a fair few random items thrown in that I haven't ordered.

When I do an online shop I always have a giggle when I put something in my trolley and it comes up with a suggestion of items that other people bought along with that item, the best was suggesting tomato ketchup after I'd bought bin bags to be fair though I did need some

This thread has made me laugh

Love it! I am still trying to figure how they logically made that substitution

00100001, you missed out how many bedrooms and how much their house is worth!

That's gonnabe in the Sunday Magazine.

"Ejay EXPOSED - Was the fabled CONDOM CONUNDRUM a "mistake" by Tesco, or a complicated plot of revenge and subterfuge?! Turn to page 32 to find out more...."

00100001, you missed out how many bedrooms and how much their house is worth!
love it!!!!!!!!!! the wit on MN is just priceless!

Absolutely brilliant!

Ha! I opened this thread thinking you were actually planning to hand out condoms to teenage trick-or-treaters, as they're too old for sweeties and what with all the mischiefaand underage drinking they could do with some condoms.
That would be an excellent mn pearl-clutching thread, but this one is better!

cakes (great name!!!!!!)
Me too! Was all prepared to be judgy, then was the best thread ever.
We really need this light relief in these dark times

Thanks Mrs

I just wish I had not opened this thread. I thought it was a brilliant title because you were fed with the kids knocking on your door.

We got spray on deodorant instead of shower gel? But was told by the delivery driver that his computer thing had told him to substitute condoms for a pregnancy test ( and he had to oblige , it's like the computer was cutting out the middle man )

computer was cutting out the middle man
priceless!!!!!

I'm actually crying. I came on thinking someone was feeling a bit grumpy with kids knocking on your door and imagining how Id feel if someone put condoms in my kids trick and treat box.

Crying with laughter in case you thought I was sad I was unable to clutch my pearls.

Lol

It's definitely newsworthy (not proper news but the funny news) I love 00100001s post.

What on earth did the delivery guy say when he/she told you about the substitution.

Was it actually listed as a substitution in your paperwork?

You absolutely should tell the press, it's so funny.

We really did once have condoms instead of a pregnancy test. Was hilarious handing them back to the delivery driver explaining why we didn't want that particular substitution! Delivery man said something along the lines of "its a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted!"
