I got a box of junk I ordered from Amazon today.
I opened the box and marvelled at the stoopid crap I bought.
Yeah. It was fun for about 3 minutes. Couldn’t remember why I ordered little Amber glass jars with a cork top. 36 of them. :smack:
I was folding the paper that was in the box. I think they used a whole ream to wrap these jars.
I think I’ll save the box. It’s a good size.
Wait! What’s that?
Printed on the box is cutouts to make flowers. Kinda cute.
But why?
Doesn’t Amazon know these will drive me insane? I wanna order more stuff to get more.
What am I gonna do with brown flowers?
Are there other patterns? More things to make?
Excuse me. I need to go on Amazon and order stuff.
wonder what to order to make sure it comes in a box and not the tyvek bag?
Well, I’m not sure because there were 550 wooden coffee stirrers in the same box.
I’m pretty sure I don’t need another 550 wooden coffee stirrers. At. All.
In her enormous brilliance the lil’wrekker says they put the flower cut-outs on there to give people stuck at home a little something to do.
No, no, no, they are just toying with me.
Amazon wants me to order more useless crap.
It’s an evil corporation.
They make that little click here or slide this thingy soooooooo easy to use. No glitches at that part of the page.
Just you try to find how long a tee-shirt is. You have to scroll for days to get to a verified purchasers reveiw. Then you have to decide by their name if they’re being truthful. Not easy, folks. Not at all.
Then you have to figure out if it’s coming from China. Not being racist, but their stuff never comes. Just like my polarbear socks. You hear that ‘Unom Co.’, I want MY socks. I gave you 1 star and lied and said your socks were junk!! They could be great, but I’ll never know, cause I DON’T HAVE THEM!
See never trust a verified purchaser. We lie.
Yeah, I kinda do that unconscious ordering on occasion.
I used to blame it on the kids. Now I’m the immature idiot around here. So I have to admit I ordered something.
I can still go hide in my closet and open my box.
(Did I tell you about the tiny craft paper envelopes? 2in×3in. I was thinking seed packets. I neglected to look at the amount in the order. Yep. 500.)
Some of us actually remember ordering the things we receive. Like the set of six steak knives I just received, after a whole lot of comparison shopping. Problem is, the blades are only a few inches long. Maybe they’re for opening the seed packet envelopes of yours.
I’m growing much older and grayer waiting for MY DAMN CANNING JAR LIDS! Amazon must know that instant gratification takes too long, so over a month is just. . .not right. . .not right at all. GIMME THOSE LIDS, YOU BASTARDS!
Sounds like when the flour makers realized that people were making dresses out of the bags, back in the day, and started selling bags with pretty prints on them.

If Amazon was really trying to get people to order more stuff to get more of the packaging, they’d be wrapping things in bubble wrap—speaking of giving people stuck at home something to do.
Oh, the big bags of air. Hate, hate those things. There is not any secondary use for them. Believe me, I’ve tried to come up with one. I even tasked The Peanut Gallery (grandwrex) to come up with a use.
The Grandwrex got such a kick outta me going insane about the flowers printed on my box that I’m gonna order each kid something so they’ll get a box.
I just gotta figure out a ‘thing’ to order. Me and Moms are working on it. I think I can request it come in the oldest twos names, as a gift. The little ones won’t care.
