15 People who expected one thing but got another

Life is full of expectations. They can be little, like expecting that your McDonald's order is put together right. Or they can be huge, like expecting to win the lottery when 30 million other people are also playing.

These people didn't definitely didn't get what they expected, but to be fair, maybe that's for the best. Some of them might have even made it out better than they thought!

Not The Chicken And Waffles They Wanted

When you think of chicken and waffles, you don't think of nuggets and a few strips of waffles.

Whoever ordered it expecting the picture on the left will probably have trust issues for the rest of their lives.

Something Doesn't Add Up

Something isn't adding up with these paintings. The llama on the left looks superb, but the poor fellow on the right looks shocked.

I don't think the person who painted the one on the right got the experience they wanted.

Trusting frozen foods can be tough. They provide so much convenience, but you might end up with something like this.

Are those even mushrooms? If the person only wanted peas, they would have chosen a regular bag that didn't claim to include mushrooms.

"And five, six, seven, eight!" Why does this tape start at five and not one? Pulling it out and seeing that must've been funny.

No one on Earth would expect anything like this. But, it's so outrageous that laughing is the only option.

What A Lie

From what I see, these are just regular balloons with tiny faces on the bottom. How are these super-sized?

Manufacturers love to rip people off however they can. If they promised super-sized, those faces should've covered more of the balloon.

He Asked For It

Usually, when you ask a place to give you as much as they can, they barely overdo it.

This person asked for as much mac and cheese as they could give without someone getting fired. They happily met that request.

These Aren't Good Vibes

Receiving a small piece of paper wouldn't be good vibes at all. This isn't even something you can laugh over if it happened to you.

Unless the price was very low, this was a huge waste of time for that person.

This little girl kept bugging her parents for a VR setup since it's all the rage these days.

Instead, her parents gave her this '95 Virtual Boy and told her they had VR at home. But, of course, she's only ten, so she probably didn't know the difference.

At Least She's Smiling

She might not have received the dress in the style she wanted, but at least she has a smile on her face.

That's the best way to go about things when they don't work in your favor. She's a winner.

What They Wanted Versus What They Got

As far as I can see, this was an inside job. There's no way someone will mess up like that on another person's body unless it was personal.

That one on the right looks nothing like the one they wanted to have done.

What Happened Here??

That looks nothing like the cake they wanted. Whoever dared to serve this to someone as the final product should place themselves in timeout.

The M&Ms look like they're all drunk! You can't even tell the green one is a woman.

Imagine walking all day with sore feet and bags in your hand, but you have to go up to the next level. When you approach the escalator, you get this.

This is the biggest trick in history. Why would they add the handrails that look like that?

What The Copyright?

Did they really take the logo for Burger King and try to make it theirs? They didn't even try to disguise it.

Burger King shouldn't even worry about this. It's not like Burger Friends is going to knock them out of business.

Usually, when you order chicken on your pizza, you don't get a full bird on top. However, this lady received just that.

It doesn't look too awful, but that's not what she was expecting in the slightest. I wonder how it tasted.

That's Not A Bear...

The package says it's a teddy bear, but that thing outside of the tube isn't a bear at all.

I couldn't tell you what it is, but at least it does look like an animal. It's time to get your money back.
