Dear Grocery Delivery Shoppers:

I get what you were trying to do here, honest, but one pint of chocolate fudge chunk and one pint of vanilla caramel fudge do not adequately substitute for two pints of phish food.

At least the chubby hubby came.

Someone I know in Britain just had their supermarket home delivery

substitute DECAFFEINATED coffee

for normal coffee!

[conuly]

Oh no!

[lilysea]

They were not happy - especially as their partner uses caffeine to manage the partner's ADHD!

[conuly]

Noooooooooooooo!

[readerjane]

Oh, wow. I thought it was bad when I got ground coffee instead of the beans I asked for. I'd spelled out brand, type, whole beans, ok to substitute a different size bag, but if anything else was different then please leave the coffee off the order.

But decaf, now, that's a whole 'nother level of unacceptable.

FOUR bags of decaf coffee - substituted for regular coffee in Tesco delivery

The worst one I heard was somebody ordered tampons and got hot dogs.
If marriage was really at the center of life being single would be considered some sort of fate worse than death like in "It's A Wonderful Life", which, thank fuck, it isn't.

[conuly]

Okay, that's gotta be fake, or else some sort of genuine mix-up like the time we randomly got somebody else's turkey bacon and margarine but not our jars of salsa.

Was somewhat pleased to see Chicago represented in the list of unusual polling places. However, I'm sad that I lived in Edgewater but never voted at the billiards place. (It's after my time.)

[adafrog]

No, it does not.

[conuly]

At least they tried, I guess.
