Not a-fucking-gain!!!!' Ordered stuff by accident from supermarket!'n

[gurteee]

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

@gurteee

Seriously though - what am I going to do with 48 aaa batteries?!

wails>> 😩😩😩😩😩

Want to swap for some turmeric?

I purposefully bought 48 AAA batteries last week could have just had yours

I once ordered a kilo of root ginger. It’s quite light so there was a lot. I had to take it to work and hand it out in the office. It went with surprising speed actually.

Back in the early days of online shopping, I felt very smug that I had ordered a delivery to arrive when we got back from holiday so we could come home to a full fridge. I was evangelical about this amazing new service to anyone who would listen. I even logged on to demonstrate how I could edit my order up until midnight the night before from the other side of the world.

I was slightly less smug when the delivery driver handed me one single pot of yoghurt in a carrier bag. Somehow I had managed to delete and replace my entire order rather than add the yoghurt.

Norfolk are you going to tell us why you bought 48 AAA batteries?

gurtee you will be all set up for small torches, bike lights and TV remotes for years to come now.

They would be used in no time in my house. Have actually started buying a 12 pack of aa and a 12 pack of AAA in my weekly shop. The kids are shocked that their toys have lights and sound (the batteries had ran out in them years ago 😂😂)

This thread has really made me laugh.

What a waste of batteries, rechargeable ones are so much better (for the purse, and the environment), I think Eneloop are the best

We don't have online delivery for food shopping.
But, I know that I would be exactly the same, it's funny you suggested ADHD I was diagnosed quite late in life.

I accidentally ordered 2kg if bell peppers once instead of 2. We ate a lot of bell peppers with everything for a while!

My husband once ordered 9 baked potatoes. It wasnt till I was unpacking the delivery it became apparent hed ordered 9 packs of four. So we had 36 baked tatties 😂🤦‍♀️

@SusieSusieSoo

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😆🤷‍♀️

I reserve mine with Rum...it doesn't seem so bad when you forget to take them off the order 🤣

I did this the other week. Wanted a 4 pack of a soft drink I like. So for some reason I ordered 4 x the 4 packs because I didn't want can I wanted 4 right? Felt like a right twat watching the delivery driver lugging them up stairs to my flat

@SilenceOfThePrams

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.

Our alarm went off once and someone called the Police, they turned up (in broad daylight). We all wandered through the house to find DH who was sitting in the garden with a drink, looking just like a burglar.

We turned back into the house and they stopped, baffled by the huge pile of cat food boxes by the door. When they asked how many cats we had I said two, which baffled them even more. There was enough to feed a full sanctuary for months.

Thanks for cheering Me up although my TV remote is USB charged 😭

Not quite the same, but the cute little jar of Brandt on pickle I ordered will make a lovely vase if I ever get through it 🙇🏻‍♀️

I was on holiday in Barcelona as a student and in crap Spanish ordered 2 kg of tomatoes instead of 2. Lived off them all week. Sick of them by the end.

That's interesting! I have a few reasons why I think I might be. Something is certainly responsible for my mad shopping deliveries!

I often manage to buy one lonely, solitary banana, instead of a pack.

My husband once ordered 22 6-packs of beans instead of 2. It was funny but I did then have to find space for them in my workshop which was less amusing.

Dash it all! that could have worked out nicely

I once ordered a single mushroom, which was delivered to my door in a small plastic bag. I was charged about 40 times its cost for its delivery.

I had 'reserved' my spot with the smallest item I could think of, and then forgot about it. This was in another country where online grocery sites were a new thing and there was, as yet, no minimum spend requirement.

@SparkyBlue reminds me of when I called tesco to ask where my shopping was. It comes every week on a Thursday 8-9. Only when you actually order it though

Poor banana! Separated from the bunch 😔 they are herd fruits and should be kept together.

I pick customers shopping. You'd be amazed how many times it happens.
We also get people ordering 40 tins of peaches, it's not an error haha

😂😂😂😂 Maybe the driver thought you had got into the nouvelle cuisine!
