We all want to make sure that we get our money’s worth when we buy something. However, this sadly isn’t always the case.

So, from people who didn’t get the word they wanted tattooed on their body to individuals who got swindled in the ham department, here are 17+ people who discovered they didn’t get what they paid for!

‘I Didn’t Do Anything Wrong’ Says Woman Who Jumped Into Monkey Enclosure

“Plastic is the new paper!”

Image credit: Reddit | SPLICER55
Reddit | SPLICER55

“We simply meant that the paper bottle on the outside of the plastic bottle is made of paper, not the one actually holding the liquid.”

“Seriously?”

“Yep, that’s the line and we’re sticking to it!”

“I’m glad we only paid €72 for this…”

Image credit: Reddit | iLikeMakonnen
Reddit | iLikeMakonnen

Butter me sideways! That is one hell of a swindle, I hope that “Artin” liked the cake at least!

“My 6th grader was given an assignment to draw a monster & write a story. The example they gave the class and her drawing on the right.”

Image credit: Reddit | Katasia
Reddit | Katasia

Good lord, that is one hell of a terrifying illustration! I am sure that this caused quite a stir with the teacher who was taking this class.

“Have a nice day!”

Image credit: Reddit | sopadebombillas
Reddit | sopadebombillas

This one is particularly egregious, but at least they put the cream cheese all the way to the end. So, silver linings and all that jazz!

“What she asked for vs what she got.”

Image credit: Reddit | blazerfanalways
Reddit | blazerfanalways

Wow, they really dropped the ball on this one. I can imagine that she must already be working on cover-up plans!

“I tried making cutesy frozen banana ghosts but they melted horrifically.”

Image credit: Reddit | charisreid_
Reddit | charisreid_

On the plus side, they look more terrifying than normal ghosts! This person went on to write, “My partner, always supportive, made voices for them, ‘Mother why must we suffer?!'”

“I paid way too much to be bamboozled like this.”

Image credit: Reddit | Mayungi
Reddit | Mayungi

Saffron is insanely expensive at the best of times, let alone when you’re getting half of what you actually paid for!

“What they asked for vs what they got, they were told by the artist that they could do realism.”

Image credit: Reddit | the_misfit_123
Reddit | the_misfit_123

I guess that they can do “realism,” so long as you live in a poorly-drawn cartoon world that is!

“‘Extra large’ dog pool…”

Image credit: Reddit | leftcrow
Reddit | leftcrow

I am sure that their dog will still be able to enjoy it, maybe they could use it as a paw-spa?

“It’s technically right…”

Image credit: Reddit | AlphaCrispy
Reddit | AlphaCrispy

I guess it is, but it is still a disgrace to the name “Cheese Burger”! Where did they buy this from, a guy round the back of a petrol station?

“That carpentry course really paid off.”

Image credit: Reddit | rocknrollsteve
Reddit | rocknrollsteve

I know absolutely nothing about carpentry or structural engineering but even I can see that something is a little off here.

“My best friend and I got a little ambitious with our baking skills. Reality put us in check.”

Image credit: Reddit | Plastic-Maybe81
Reddit | Plastic-Maybe81

In fairness, they did a much better job than I would have managed! They do still look like slightly derpy bees though.

“Nephew’s mom ordered a baby grinch off Amazon and well…”

Image credit: Reddit | Unique_Name3
Reddit | Unique_Name3

That “thing” on the right is the stuff of nightmares. It isn’t even close to the one of the left!

“Are you kidding me?!”

Image credit: Reddit | drewsoulman
Reddit | drewsoulman

That is one of the most anaemic-looking pizzas that I have seen for a long time! The amount of cheese is diabolical on its own!

“In a Walmart in Bentonville, AR and we see a guy with a huge Matzah tattoo. He says it means ‘strength’. We didn’t have the heart to tell him.”

Image credit: Reddit | CollinsSchool
Reddit | CollinsSchool

This is actually Matzah in Hebrew, and definitely not “Strength.” The person who posted this also added, “He said he got in the military.”

“I paid extra for Amazon to wrap this surprise birthday present!”

Image credit: Reddit | robshine1967
Reddit | robshine1967

You didn’t say that they had to wrap it well, just that they had to wrap it! Can’t see anything wrong with this catastrophe!

“I check reviews for fun…”

Image credit: Reddit | mynameispreeve
Reddit | mynameispreeve

It is always good to see sellers responding to their customer’s complaints, even if it is just to mock them!

“So, Subway is now selling pizzas in Brazil…”

Image credit: Reddit | Zooxooz1
Reddit | Zooxooz1

Are you sure? Because I think calling whatever that is a pizza is an insult to pizza.

“Coffee shops that add this much ice to your drink.”

Image credit: Reddit | FlaccidUncle_
Reddit | FlaccidUncle_

See, after enjoying your three sips of coffee, the ice will melt into a refreshing cup of slightly coffee-flavored water! That all sounds great, right?

“I mean this just seems a bit excessive.”

Image credit: Reddit | boonetown18
Reddit | boonetown18

They do have ‘air’ right in the name, so I guess we all kind of walked into this one.

“My ‘D’ key fell off of my keyboard, so I ordered a new one and a ‘5’ key came instead.”

Image credit: Reddit | Traditional_Frame_36
Reddit | Traditional_Frame_36

Why couldn’t it have been your S key that broke? At least then you could kind of pretend it’s the same.

“So I bought a doughnut from Tim Hortons…”

Image credit: Reddit | Cucurbitak
Reddit | Cucurbitak

This goes to show there is such a thing as too fresh.

“At least they could’ve tried.”

Image credit: Reddit | Terra6969
Reddit | Terra6969

What is a chocolate chip cookie without its chips? Just a non-descript cookie? Where does that place it within cookie society?

“It’s an 8 pack, but 9 would fit perfectly…”

Image credit: Reddit | hwestiidvsdf32432
Reddit | hwestiidvsdf32432

Why would a company do something smart that maximizes customer value? What would be in it for them, brand loyalty? Who needs that?

“Years ago I paid $40 to meet Tom Felton. I thought that an umbrella on the opposite side of the room was the camera. This is the result of the picture.”

Image credit: Reddit | cats_gone_cray
Reddit | cats_gone_cray

While this must have been a very embarrassing incident, it kind of makes the photo even more special…sort of?

“The close-door button fell off, revealing it was never connected to the control panel.”

Image credit: Reddit | rsapolsky
Reddit | rsapolsky

I’m so convinced the close door button in my building’s elevator actually works that posts like this are just blasphemy to me.

“Save the extra plastic and just make a smaller bottle please!”

Image credit: Reddit | u_gr3y
Reddit | u_gr3y

It looks like Garnier have been taking tips from Walker’s Crisps when it comes to filling up their packaging!

“These sly, sly bastards…”

Image credit: Reddit | 1475369987456321
Reddit | 1475369987456321

I mean, the ham to cheese ratio alone should have given them a warning that this sandwich was a disaster! A downright disaster!

“The very disappointing contents of this ‘fun sized’ bag of M&Ms.”

Image credit: Reddit | somethingsupersimple
Reddit | somethingsupersimple

In what world is the least amount of chocolate possible ever fun? I’d like to have a word with whoever called these fun-sized.

“College board making me pay them to get credit for the courses I paid them to take exams for.”

Image credit: Reddit | nottodaysatan129
Reddit | nottodaysatan129

And then they’ll get you to pay for confirmation that you passed your courses, then for your diploma, then after you’re gone they’ll ask you to pay them more just for the hell of it.
