Be Careful What You Wish For
My last post related the unboxing of my first Bag of Random Crap. Before it arrived, I was looking at the post on the Woot Forums for the item, because a lot of people post their winnings when the items are received, and I wanted a heads-up. Well, with the delivery behind me, I went back to the forums to see if anyone had been declared a super mega winner, with awesome pictures showing their take. And what I found was, uh….interesting.
I lamented the fact that I only got three craps. Well, at least I wasn’t this person.
They got 60 miniature ceramic gardening forks. Seriously. I’m assuming that this person isn’t lying, and that they hadn’t accidentally actually ordered all these forks, and just mistook it for their Bag of Crap. This one is a bit suspect, I think, because while some other people did get ceramic figurines, no one I saw got a gardening fork. But I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
One of the items I got was a not-so-stylish hat. What could be worse than that?
How about 96 not-so-stylish hats! I just get the feeling that these two people were among the very last to get their orders filled, and the Woot workers didn’t want to bother with putting some of the Random Crap back in the warehouse.
