This Wordless Wednesday (which is always anything but wordless) is going to need a bit of a backdrop story.
My husband Joe comes home from a long day of work to find the UPS man left his much anticipated new rims for his car outside. I watch out the kitchen window as I’m emptying the dishwasher to see my husband’s face light up and excited to all of a sudden an obvious “oh no!” coming out if his mouth. Then he looks dejected and then angry at himself, ready to throw his workout bag into the snow. He comes inside to tell me he must have ordered the wrong size because the rims say 17″ (he needs 16″) and he starts going off on how expensive they will be to ship back. Blah, blah, blah.
I told him not to worry just yet and first check to make sure he ordered the wrong ones. If it is their mistake they can pay for the shipping. So he checks his order confirmation and realizes he ordered the right ones. Suddenly I’m the brilliant wife (of course) and he is feeling a bit better. Still, he is bummed about having to go to the trouble of sending them back and having to call the company to get it straightened out.
And then he takes a closer look at the box and sees this:
Um, yeah. So that explains a lot. *cough*

Tricia @Nightowlmama says
that’s so crazy how funny that they had to put a label on the box because obviously many people were calling Lol
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
That’s hilarious, but I’ve never seen a sticker like that. I’m sure UPS had that on the bottom or something too where he missed it at first glance.
Dee says
Too funny! I MIGHT have missed that at first too so I don’t blame him! 🙂
debi9kids says
LOL. That is too funny!
Cecily R says
Um, that seems like a lot of extra work for that company…but it makes for GREAT blog fodder! 🙂
Andrea says
Funny that it must happen so often that they developed a custom sticker for it!
Mari says
This must not be an isolated incident, since they created a sign just for that reason. A comedy of errors.
Tiffany says
Ha ha! Good thing he has a fabulous wife to let him know what’s up and down, left and right. 😉
Gina says
LOL – how funny is that!
Jessica says
My husband would have reacted the same way…assumed it was the wrong size before checking. Sigh….
Too funny! Men!
Texas Type A Mom says
Funny!
Dumb Mom says
It’s always all in the details, which is why women are the dominate species:)
Marj M. says
Loved it. LOL
Nanny Anna says
That is so funny. I bet even he had to laugh about that afterward…maybe not in front of you, but somewhere inside I bet he snickered a bit at his own silliness.
Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday!
Anna

Ohmygosh that is great! And that definitely needed the story. 🙂 I swear, men never pay attention.

They must have had a lot of angry people call them to make stickers just for that. HIlarious!
G Bailey says
We can all learn a lesson from that! 🙂
Tamara B. says
Too funny (LOL) That is why God created Women 🙂
Donna B. says
HAHA! How did I not see this last week when it was posted? I think I would have done the same thing. You’d think they’d have just plain boxes available for shipping!
