There's a shmoo fish?
Ever had a bizarre shipping error?
I had found a set of 4 different Thai pepper-paste condiments in jars for an amazing price from an online retailer running Black Friday sales on food and related items. Asked for gift wrapping to save time. Perfect for a relative really into such things.
Order got delayed, but out of the blue arrived today. Glad I got curious. Box didn't feel right.
Opened it up, and inside were 50 very tightly rolled and individually wrapped pairs of purply-brown size XXXL disposable unisex underwear with bright red crotch pieces.
Now trying to decide whether it is worth trying to straighten this out or just bite the bullet and have gag stocking stuffers for the next umpteen years.
So far the California snow pack if off to a real good start. We really need a good year.
My sister-in-law is in Colorado and she said that the snowfall has been really good this year.
I'm actually visiting her the week before Christmas.
If anyone is in the Colorado Springs area during that time, hit me up and we can meet up.
Not in a creepy dateline way, but in a "two programmers grabbing coffee" kind of way.
Some of those 'bizarre shipping errors' are actually part of a credit card scam. You wouldn't be the target, though. In those scams, you get what you ordered plus something else, so it doesn't quite fit your situation, as you didn't get what you ordered.Quote:

The only thing somewhat bizarre that happened to me in the shipping department, aside from a package that managed to pretty much do a grand tour of the continental US, was a shirt that I ordered for a gal this last spring. She didn't mention it, and I kind of forgot about it until a couple months later when I got a notification that it had shipped. At that point, I asked her whether or not she had received the shirt, and she confirmed that she hadn't. It had simply been delayed for a few months, with no notice. It got there, though, and she loved it, so all was well.
The snow pack last year started out really well up through December...then stopped completely (cold?...or not cold?) for several months. So far, this winter is exceeding expectations. It has to keep going, though.
This is the second consecutive La Nina year. Normally, that means above average precipitation in this area, but a water forecaster (we don't just forecast weather, around here) mentioned that the precipitation of second La Nina years typically goes north of our area, leaving us dry. So far, that hasn't been the case.
I didn't even know that disposable drawers were a thing.
Put in a claim with the retailer on the orders page, but I'm sure getting any response will take a while.

Size XXXL? You'll need the fisheye lens for those.
And I'm really not so sure that we want to see them.
Disposable drawers means never needing to do laundry.
The way Boris Johnson managed his cabinet, it must have had disposable drawers.
bazinga!
When I opened the box it looked like a shrink-wrapped brick of tight gauze bandage rolls sort of purply-brown with red flecks here and there. Without the paper sheet underneath I'd have had to break open the brick to have any idea what I was looking at.
I can't imagine these are typical or fashionable even where they were made and packed. Hard to imagine they were made for hospitals or rest homes or ambulances, but that's the feeling I get from them.
For swinging seniors.
