Clearly, though, she forgot to remove the demo squirrel before she installed it! That squirrel looks like it knows how truly stuck it is!
Elementary school chairs
“My boss bought 50 chairs in an online auction. It wasn’t until we went to pick them up that we realized it was at an elementary school” “Right, so we all have new chairs coming into the office tomorrow!”
“Great, now my back won’t hurt all of the damn time!”
“Well, Dave, I wouldn’t be too sure about that…”
“I just bought the angriest goldfish of all time”
I feel like this goldfish is about to tell me to get off its lawn, or start chasing me around with a big stick!
Funny pet costumes
“My wife bought a costume for our dog. It was too small, so we tried it on the cat.” I would be very wary around that cat from now on! It looks like it is going to be dropping dead rodents on you while you sleep for this injustice!
“Friend bought $600 Apple Watch off eBay. This is what came”
Wow, and I thought that the actual Apple watch was ugly enough as it is. This takes it to a whole new level!
“Sex after 40…”
Yep, the whole book is blank. I love that you can hear that guy’s raucous laughter through the picture!
Craigslist is a funny place
“Bought a couch from Craigslist, heard noises coming from it after bringing it home. Cut it open and found a cat.” Holy hell, that cat looks absolutely furious about having been sold in a couch! I wonder if they took it back or if they just adopted it!
Pet stain remover.. or not?
“My cousin couldn’t figure out why his dog kept pissing on his bed since he bought the new pet stain remover.” But… Why would this product ever exist? Is this just for if you’ve got a really annoying neighbor and you want your dog to whiz on their front door?
That’s not exactly the right map
“We own a family business. Mom thought she bought a map of the world for the conference room.” Either their mother has just been watching far too much Game Of Thrones recently or she needs to look at a globe sometime!
Strawberry shampoo
“My mom bought a strawberry scented minion shampoo for my little brother.” Ah, what they have incidentally done here is purchased the Nightmare Minion edition! This model also captures your children’s hopes and dreams and then cries them out in the form of blood. Cool, eh?
Play pen for the gamers
“I could never game because of my toddler son so I finally bought a play pen.” I think that the manufacturers of those play pens have just found a new demographic to market towards!

I would love to see a Batman film where he finishes beating a thug to a pulp, turns to the camera and holds up a bottle of this, and it turns out the whole film was just an advert!

Wow, now those are some primo knockoff brands right there! KattKet sounds less like a chocolate bar and more like the noise you make when you’re trying to clear your throat.
“I bought a pizza with mushrooms…”
Or, so they thought! A lot of people suggested that they should have tweeted them this, but I think I’d just eat it, grumble angrily to myself, then forget about it after an hour or so.
Interesting addition to the collection
“My mom unknowingly bought a bong for her crystal/glass collection. We have no intention of telling her.” Hmmm, something tells me that she actually knows exactly what this is! You shouldn’t think so little of your mother, guys!
eBay tweezers
“I bought some tweezers on eBay. I then complained as they were tiny. The guy sent me these.” These are for when you have some serious splinters that you need removing! For instance, if you have an entire chair leg sticking out of your body!
“To be fair my wife did think this paddling pool was oddly cheap.”
Hell, when it gets hot enough, even a pool as small as this can be a Godsend! Never be too proud to get in a tiny pool as an adult!
“The Valentine’s Day card I bought for my husband.”
Ah, now this is a Valentine’s Day card that I could actually get on board with! Who really remembers their first kiss with their partner? Well, a lot of people probably, but whatever.

“I purchased a pallet at work and it arrived today.”
A secret two-for-one special? Score! Try not to let the wood one know you only bought the plastic one, though. You’ll hurt its feelings.

There’s something to be said for being self-aware about it! Not much, but something!

Perfect for when you need to write an essay that can be read from a plane.
Pet shampoo
“My wife purchased a bottle of doggie shampoo and gave our dog a bath, we noticed her fur wouldn’t dry and looked greasy – it wasn’t shampoo.” If only dogs licked themselves clean like cats do, the issue would solve itself.
