Some things are better left purchased in person – like special occasion dresses! Hey, we all like to avoid long lines. We all like to avoid unnecessary trips to the store only to find out our item is out of stock. Online shopping makes things convenient to browse and buy during lunch breaks, late nights, and holidays.
But these pics prove that sometimes it’s better keep your money in your digital wallet. It’s also a good idea to read the fine, fine, fine print on questionable items coming from questionable sellers, lest you wind up with an outfit that only Barbie’s baby sister could fit.
Which of these are the most infuriating or funny to you? How many times have you bought a dud from the internet? How would you describe your own bad online shopping experience?
