So - I had a humorous incident this past week. I had placed an order through Amazon for some new suspenders and a Overlook Hotel tshirt a few days before so when I opened the mailbox and saw a package from Amazon and thought good, they're here. I had to get on a conference call so I walked back into my home office and set the package to the side until I finished my part of the brief for the call and then sat back with the phone muted while the next person gave theirs. While I was sitting there I grabbed the package and opened it up.
What? Instead of a tshirt and suspenders, I pulled out 5 pairs of nylon panties - pink with a lace front, blue, yellow, red, and white.
?? Did I click on the wrong item in my cart and not notice?
I looked at them - they were size 6, not my size, not my wife's? So I pulled Amazon up and checked the order - tshirt and suspenders still on the way, definitely not an oops on my part. Huh. So I picked up the package and looked at the label - ah, addressed to our neighbor Kelly. Wasn't the first time it had happened, their mail coming to our house or vice versa, but it was the first time I had opened one of their packages.
I put everything back in the package and waited for the call to be over. When it was done I told my wife what happened, she laughed and said she would take the package over, did I wanna go with? Sure, we?ll go for a walk afterward. So we go over and ring the bell and Kelly opens the door. My wife said hey Kelly, we got your package by mistake and - my name - opened it.
I apologized, told her I hadn't even looked at the label before I opened it. She said oh no problem, I've been on a shopping spree getting hand towels and other items for the bathroom, and I'm giving my husband headaches with the credit card bills. My wife laughed and said they were a strange choice for towels, but that I sure seemed to have liked them, especially the pink ones. Kelly looked puzzled, "The pink ones?" She looked in the package, said OMG, turned fire engine red and started laughing. My wife and her talked for a few more minutes, told her we would see her later and off we went.
It was a good laugh but you know - I really did like the pink ones.
