Life can throw you some curveballs and that’s especially true nowadays. In the age of the internet, people have to be aware that their expectations might not always line up with reality. With sites like Amazon, Wish, and many more all advertising cheap, quick products, some deals seem too good to be true. Unfortunately, often that’s exactly what they are.

There’s an adage that says you should never order clothing online. There’s a good reason for this — people all over the world have had tragic and sometimes hilarious results when they tried to go the online route. But the adage doesn’t just apply to clothes. There are all sorts of things that you might try to order only to find them wildly off base from your expectations.

Of course, the internet didn’t start this phenomenon. The real problem is with advertising and the way it can mislead you! As annoying as it is, however, it often has hilarious results, as evidenced by these 50 people who didn’t get what they expected. Lucky for us, we get to sit back and laugh at their misfortune.

Enjoy these posts about people who didn’t get what they expected — and be careful next time you shop – especially online.
