We always like to get what we pay for in this world of ours. However, sadly, getting what is rightfully ours isn't always the case.
From people taxed with the "smartass charge" to people not getting paid enough to set themselves on fire, here are 17+ people who got less than what they paid for!
As much as I love this, the fact that there are random amounts of metal buttons on each corner is giving me a headache.
Well, basically...yeah. I used to love rooting around random crap shops like these as a kid, you could find absolutely anything in these sorts of shops.
In a similar vein, one other person added, "I had to fill out a jury duty selection form once and mailed it back with a Spiderman stamp, but I drew a web coming from his hand all the way across the envelope. Guess who didn't get called back."
And yet, if I was drunk on cheap cider at a festival, then I would happily still buy this and just regret it when I sobered up.
Wow, I wish that I'd had homework like this when I was a child. I had to find rocks on my own time, what a swindle!
I didn't even see the cake for a while. I suppose that it is the thought that counts? There is also a little bit of gold leaf on the plate by the looks of it... Maybe if they get a few thousand of these for free, then melt it all down, they might be able to make a profit.
You can't expect them to be moving rocks around though, can you? I mean, what are they...rock-mover-around-ers? Pfft!
If you can find the parts cheaper online, then maybe just get them cheaper online and stop wasting people's time?
How is anyone meant to follow that? That's one hell of an opener to the talent show...and probably a shocking end to it as well.
I wonder what terrible joke or pickup line this person tried on the cashier to incur this. Also, this person really loves "misc," maybe they should chill out on the misc!
One person added, "Interestingly enough, you need a special permit to post a sign anywhere that isn't your property. There's more to it than that, but financially and legally it's often easier to just have a dude stand there and hold the sign all day."
Well, all I can hear when I look at this is the voice of Gordon Ramsay shrieking, "It's raw!"
Nothing like a cartoon cow bemoaning the ineptitude of the postal service to convey the spirit of Christmas!
Ah, there really is nothing like the refreshing "comfort" of single ply toilet paper to make you never want to use single ply toilet paper ever again.
There's nothing like a good "I told you so" moment to really liven up a relationship.
Now you have a reading light! For your phone. Just make sure your screen brightness is turned really, really low.
You're so right, pillow, the christhas tree really does deliverue.
Just like humans are built differently, so are aliens. Don't be rude.
Yes, I'm an adult and yes, I'm now jealous of these people that got a whole load of Play-Doh for free.
To think one measly gate could stop the sheer determination of a cat. Foolish, really.
I know I am, but I'd rather not be reminded every time I go microwave another corndog.
I can't decide if this is more "haunting phantom" or "cyber-future rebel that hacks government servers."
In the end, a mother's judgment is all that matters.
Now, I know very little about carpentry (it will doubtlessly shock you to know), but even I can see that there is a whole host of things gone wrong here.
It was so nice of them to label it so conveniently, really put an end to that argument.
Well, with a hammer I'm sure they could turn it into a window seat. 'Cause, you know, hammers are famously easy to get onto planes.
