Bowl of Fun
Teddy, being the busy high tech executive that he is, felt he needed to turn to some online shopping for some much-needed home supplies. He thought he found a great supplier for a ladle he’d been looking for and clearly, did not stop to think that there were actually different ladle sizes available.
Well, he ended up with this humongous ladle that would only really work well if he was a server at a soup kitchen working with enormous pots! He might want to look into inviting some friends and family over for that!
Too Much
One, thoughtful boyfriend thought it would be romantic to buy his girlfriend a nice soft pillow with his face on it. He thought she could cuddle up with him while they whenever they were apart.
When he got it, he realized he should just go with a bouquet of roses, because if she saw this pillow it might actually put their relationship on thin ice, or give the poor girl nightmares. Not exactly the image that you want your significant other to have in their head before bed.
Always Go for the Cheap One
This woman wanted to buy a swing set for her backyard. Her grandchildren were coming over to visit regularly, and she wanted them to have a swing. One thing she never took into account is that she would have to put them on a very strict diet first.
Now, this beauty cost only $17, and apparently, there was a more expensive version for $22. So, buying cheap is not always the best way, and we can be assured that if this granny would have invested an extra $5, her grandchildren could have stayed for dessert too.
Oops!
Working as a paralegal at a well-established New York City law firm while simultaneously being a student at New York University, Tiffany definitely did not have any time on her hands to wander around for a new dress. Yet, it was her sister Stacy’s wedding so this situation was an urgent one.
She thought all would be well when she settled for online shopping and found that perfect dress. Well, it didn’t come out as perfect as it seemed on the photo and description... Not perfect at all! Don’t worry, Tiffany ended up borrowing a friend’s dress. Who would want to show up to a wedding in that?
Stilts Not Included
Well aware of the horror stories that online shoppers share about their misleading purchases, George decided to do his research in order to not fall victim to the same situation. Being the overly cautious shopper he already is, he decided to make sure that the jeans he was buying from ASOS had the right length.
Satisfied with the information provided on the site, he went ahead and bought the jeans. Little did he know that ASOS can make mistakes, too. They ended up having measurements that were way off! What he expected to be 32 inches in length, turned out WAY longer! This pair would definitely have him looking like slender man!
