1. Three weeks ago, I ordered a box of boxes from @PkgWholesalers, via @amazonca. Specifically, I ordered a package of 25 boxes, each 6x9x6: https://t.co/My0zSBmYyD

Dave Meslin just wanted to order boxes from Amazon. He received some granola instead. That was the beginning of an adventure in which he felt stuck in an endless loop of ever-more-bizarre deliveries and order corrections. At one point they figured out what the problem was, but they still couldn't fix it.
13. I've now received a total of 12 bags of granola + 4 Harry Potter coasters. I've reached out to @PkgWholesalers, but they brushed me off. I think I'm gonna take @m_layton's advice and just go to a damn store. You know, a physical place, with things in it. Things you can see.

People had plenty of suggestions for what to do with the stuff he didn't want, and tales of their own Amazon snafus. You can read the story in the original Twitter thread, or all that plus the resulting memes and reactions at Bored Panda.
