Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 07, 2021

God bless ebay

This, due to shipping delays.

You must have really needed it.

You’re lucky it’s still on your porch!

Forgetting what was ordered: That makes opening it much more of a treat.’

Oh good. Then you won’t realise that there’s something else inside.

To me, saying it doesn’t happen it will be a lie

Yep Xmas all yearlong.

Yes! Kinda fun getting packages every day and not knowing what is in them. And are they for hubby? Or for ME?

Back in summer of 2020 there were a lot of people receiving unexpected seeds appearing to come from Amazon marketplace with loads of conspiracy theories around them

Oh, this is so me!

Don’t open until Christmas!

Gotta stop ordering stuff drunk and in the middle of the night.

sounds about right.

You did not get an order confirmation, shipping confirmation or delivery notification?

Thats what they count on

And next spring you can hide your own Easter eggs.

Amazon-esia

So, it will be like receiving a surprise gift.

This one was on the mark, Mark!

Mark was ON the Mark with this one!

It’s not my memory that’s at fault when I keep getting email invoices for things that I never ordered… and which — “coincidentally” — are never delivered.

Alexa and I are on a first-name basis!

Just got notice of two deliveries from them… one of them had sat since February waiting for the publisher and I completely forgot about that one….

At least it was not taken by porch pirates!

Then it’s really a surprise for you! Yay!!!!!!!

I got a notice yesterday from Fedex and couldn’t figure out who it was from, I asked my son if he ordered anything he said no. Today I received a notice from a company I had ordered water filters. :) I am really scatter brain (grief brain) since my loving wife died in March.:(

Happens all the time to me. “I ordered something? Oh yeah…”

…but it got there on time!

yeah i am waiting for an order that i placed in Jly. some of the items were backordered and are waiting for the last item to arrive to send my package.

So true! Which is why I keep all the emails acknowledging the orders until they arrive.

Yep, I can totally relate.

When I order something anymore I’m always surprised when I get it.

Amen to that!
