I ordered a bra online and got sent a pair of sparkly trainers instead. Have you ever received the wrong item? Tell me.

All the time, my personal favorite was ordering a motherboard and getting Magic Spoon cereal instead - no sugar, no gluten, no grain at all, I thought we already had cardboard for that...oh and I don't remember what I ordered a couple years back (probably a PC part), but I got glue traps for mice SMH

That on time I ordered a dress on Groupon and got a box of wooden sunglasses 👓 frames and a super ugly set of pants.

I did order a replacement keyboard for one of our admin stations. I had to return a package of plastic straps twice. They insisted I did want to tie up a bunch of suspects for torture. But I had none.

I ordered some facial moisturizer and got decaffeinated english breakfast tea and a bag of uncooked beans.
So yes, but they sound like oddly specific absurd items I've made up.
