20+ Times people's expectations definitely did not live up to the hype
When you order online, you do so at your own peril. It's a learning experience: can you really buy that $200 blanket for $2? Could a new gaming console really cost just $15 plus shipping? You know the saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"? That definitely applies here.
These people shared the purchases that were their biggest L's. The one that is the most insane to me is the person who tried to order a cactus shaped cat tree. Instead of a perch for her feline friend, she just got two bags of yarn---nothing else! Luckily, cats love string, so it's not even really a failed purchase. To her cats, she's going to be an amazing owner who got them not one, but two toys.
These days, it seems like a lot of people are aware of places like Wish, but people do still order things off of Instagram or Tiktok shop. Haven't we learned from the pink sauce incident? You have to be cautious who you give your money to on these interwebs.
After you check out these goofy expectation vs. reality photos, check out these fashion trends from each generation that haven't aged well (shoulder pads and big hair, we're looking at you).
Up next, this employee's boss kept telling them how disposable they were, and finally this employee got to say, "I'm not taking an hour off. I'm leaving. For good."

"Tried a mirror glaze," this person wrote
It looks like a murky koi pond, or perhaps one of those veggie filled jello salads.

This is not the XL dog pool advertised---even a chihuahua would struggle to squeeze in!

When you order a cat tree and just get two bags of yarn
That is also a totally different shade of green! The OP writes that no cactus base, instructions, or anything else was included in the shipment.

Wouldn't even fit a baby
However, it would definitely fit a chihuahua---the same one from the dog pool, in fact, that dog could be pampered.
