20 People Who Bravely Tried Online Shopping Thinking the “Expectation-Reality” Thing Was Just a Joke

Nowadays we can order absolutely anything, even peacock eggs in order to grow your own bird. And no matter how trusted the company is, we often open delivery boxes with some kind of awe and a pinch of worry because we never know for sure what is waiting for us in there. After all, we might end up getting an absolutely different thing instead of what we ordered, or the goods might get damaged while delivery or the thing we bought might be defective.

We at Bright Side hope that this kind of “luck” will pass you by and that the characters of our compilation will quickly forget the disappointment and resentment they get from online orders. The bonus at the end will prove to you that sometimes reality is much cooler than our expectations.
