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!
RELATED STORIES
“Plastic is the new paper!”
“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…”
Butter me sideways! That is one h**l 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.”
Good lord, that is one h**l 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!”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
I guess that they can do “realism,” so long as you live in a poorly-drawn cartoon world that is!
“‘Extra large’ dog pool…”
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…”
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.”
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.”
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…”
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?!”
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.”
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!”
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…”
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…”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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…”
This goes to show there is such a thing as too fresh.
“At least they could’ve tried.”
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…”
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.”
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.”
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!”
It looks like Garnier have been taking tips from Walker’s Crisps when it comes to filling up their packaging!
“These sly, sly b******s…”
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.”
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.”
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 h**l of it.
