'The legs are like four feet long': 25 Startled shoppers who didn't get the products they really wanted

While online shopping, you can't believe everything you see. Sometimes you have to read between the lines a little bit, and know when a deal is too good to be true.

This is a skill that you can grow and improve on over time. When you're young, you think that it's a great bargain to find a beautiful blanket on sale for $5, when everywhere else it costs $150. You think to yourself, "Even if this blanket is terrible, at least it's only a few dollars. What's the worst that could happen?" You usually have to pay a ton of money in shipping and handling — that's how they getcha — and then you have to hope and wish that you will actually receive said product in the mail.

Once that cheap blanket finally arrives in your mailbox after 4-6 months, there's a likely chance that you're not getting what you really wanted. Instead of a soft cozy blanket to curl up in, you'll probably receive something that looks like two sheets sewn together with some cotton balls tossed in between for good measure. And that is how you learn a lesson the hard way.

Check out these hilarious times people ordered one thing, then got something completely different and unexpected. Then, this movie theater employee decided to shovel every inch of snow off the ground, working overnight, just to get back at his boss.

This person wanted to dine on a "dipping taco"

This must have ruined their appetite!
Editor's note: I have seen at least four other people lamenting this particular dipping taco… this one was the worst-looking. Take that as a warning.
