More often than not, I think we common people aren’t given enough credit. Those who work in high-up business-related positions just assume we accept everything at face value and don’t notice the little things.
Well, this list shows them, as it shines a light on some mistakes made that they thought would fly right over our heads. We saw them alright, and we’re exposing them too!
“Friend paid $600 for a textbook with watermarks across every single page.”
The prices of textbooks these days are nowhere near okay, but this especially is an absolute scam! What, are they just pocketing the money and hoping their students think textbooks just come like this now?
“HOA cut our privacy bushes in half without asking.”
I’ve never heard a single good thing about HOAs, or heard of a good thing any HOA has done, and yet they still seem confusingly common. Who would ever willingly move somewhere where strangers can do this type of stuff to you?
“Who does a word search like this?!”
Has this person never seen a word search before? That’s fine, not everyone has the same experiences and such, but maybe they shouldn’t have been in charge of making one then.

If you can’t tell what’s wrong, try looking for “butterfly” or “chicken”.
A midnight snack.
” Kept hearing a weird grinding noise in the corner of my dark room. I turn on my flashlight and see my cat chewing on the headstock of my custom vintage Fender Strat. I’m furious.”
“My ‘mixed fruit’ snack is just 1 flavor.”
Many people noted that this is actually two flavors, strawberry and raspberry. Not only that, but they’re the best flavors to get! This is definitely more like hitting a jackpot than being scammed.
“The amount of product that came in this size of container.”
I try to be forgiving when I see posts like this about chips or crackers, as those can break during travel and what have you. This, though? This was always powder. It can’t become more powder. This is just wrong.
“Inflating the price from MSRP, in order to reduce the price to MSRP, claiming it to be a deal.”
My problem is, even at the marked up price of $1.39, I still consider that worth it for a nice big can of Arizona. Sure, it’s not the originally intended price, but it’s a lot of drink for under two dollars!
“Asked for a sausage wrap and got a flatbread with a [half-eaten] sausage.”
Bless the commenters in this post trying to help this sad breakfast-buyer. They assured them that these wraps usually only come with half a sausage, and it was probably ripped instead of bitten into. Hopefully, anyway.
“Oh, are you now?”
This is just a lowly pair of scissors trying its best, I wouldn’t want to get on its case too much here, but admittedly this is a little disappointing. We can clean it up and let it try again though, give it a second chance.
“‘Honeycomb ice cream’ (that has no honey in it). I was SO excited.”
Why even call it honeycomb then? That’s confusing for all shoppers who would just read this at a glance and rightfully assume the name of the flavor would actually be the flavor of the ice cream. Just say it’s caramel!
“Starving at work so I order Domino’s, the pasta came without a single noodle.”
“Order up! Here’s a bowl of sauce.”
“Um, I ordered pasta though?”
“Too bad! You get sauce.”
“How am I supposed to eat this?”
“I don’t know, do you want a straw or something? Figure it out.”
“That’s Chicago.”
No way, that’s just New York New York, the sequel to New York! It draws a lot of inspiration from Chicago, sure, but they swear it’s an entirely new city that’s also, coincidentally, in Illinois.
“My frozen burrito seemed a bit thin, so I thawed and unwrapped it.”
I was going to call this a disappointment of a burrito, but I’m not even sure it could be called a burrito at all. This is just a sad, semi-frozen piece of bread. It didn’t have the chops to become a full burrito.
“This temperature dial.”
I can’t even begin to make sense of this. Med is min, min is opposite of off, max is max adjacent, and there are just other arbitrary measurements scattered about. Terrible, just terrible.
“Tried DoorDash for the first time; someone stole half my Whopper.”
Funnily enough, my first time ordering with DoorDash was also terrible. I had someone sit for 30 minutes and not even drive an inch towards my restaurant, even after I texted them about it. I finally got my driver switched, didn’t get my dinner until close to 9 PM!
“The 1th thing I saw today.”
And it’s on this 100st day of school that you start thinking about moving your child to another district so they’re not taught things like this.
“Only Two Options: A Cold Head Or Hot Feet.”
In the winter, when my hands and face are freezing, my feet already strapped up in winter boots will just get sweatier, while in the summer… Actually, cold air on the face in the summer is nice. But the winter will still suck!
“My coke came with spare parts today.”
Is this the adult version of the toy that comes with a Happy Meal? They just toss some mechanical parts in your food and tell you to try putting them together to see what mundane object you can make?
“These bubbles from a school workbook.”
I love seeing plain-as-day evidence that no one thought to proofread something before shipping it out. Especially something like a textbook, which can cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Really good quality control going on.
“These cacti at Home Depot are spray painted to look ‘cooler’.”
Imagine suffocating a plant and dousing it in what are surely unsafe chemicals with the goal of making it look better, and failing to such an extreme degree. This is tacky and disgusting. I would only buy this plant to rescue it.
