Today, after my husband trusted me to sort out the arrangements for modifying our kitchen and I spent a lot of time finding the perfect top-quality items, they were delivered 1,291 miles away in a town I’ve never heard of. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife and I drove two hours from our rural town to buy a new sofa. When we got home, it took us an hour to figure out there was no way to fit it through our door. We made the two hour drive back to return it, only to find the store was closed. FML
Today, my husband and I moved to get closer to his job. Today he got transferred 150 miles away from where we moved to. FML
Today, the speaker I ordered from the distant country of America arrived. This is after it was held up by local customs, who demanded I pay no small amount for the import duty. Upon unboxing, I found out it was actually made in my own country. FML
Today, I ordered a food delivery because I was too tired to cook. I tracked the driver on the app for 20 minutes before realizing I'd sent it to my old address. My former neighbor enjoyed my tacos more than I did. FML
Today, my wife texted me, saying an expensive piece of furniture had been delivered. I specifically said, "Wait until I get home and we'll put it together." An hour later, she opened it and broke it beyond repair while trying to assemble it herself. FML
Today, I ordered a food delivery and tracked it obsessively because I was starving. When it 'arrived', I realized I’d sent it to my old address from two years ago. Support said it was “successfully delivered.” Somewhere, a stranger is enjoying my dinner while I eat crackers. FML
Today, I drove three and a half hours to surprise my long distance boyfriend for our anniversary. He was out of town. Where was he? Three and a half hours away trying to surprise me. FML
Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my partner with a romantic dinner, but when I got home I realized I had forgotten the main ingredient: the food. FML
Today, when I finally got delivered the new kitchen table that I ordered online a week ago, I found out that it was actually a kitchen table for a dollhouse, as I forgot to check the size. FML

I’m sure others will tell you the many easy ways to rectify this problem in some obvious, boring steps. I say you ought to convince your husband that you two should pick up and move 1291 miles away to that new town! The delivery of the top-quality parts wasn’t a mistake, it was a sign!

From what you are telling us, I don't think your husband will trust you with things like that anymore, so the good part is is that you will have less work

And over to Richard Pencil for a witty comment on the subject of miss-delivered cabinetry! Seriously, I'm drawing a blank here...

Why? I doubt she entered a wrong address in a place she had never heard of before. Clearly the fault of the store she bought from or the delivery company.

it's 1291miles away because THEY never heard of your town before. Time to move away from the ghetto.

This is the fault of Capitalism. If trade were done without the means of currency this would never have occurred. ;)

Wow! I didn’t think this would get posted. I submitted this a while ago! So I contacted the seller, who I purchased a custom order from. It turned out he had sent me the wrong delivery information, so he sent me a new tracking code. That one then told me my piece had been delivered to a town even further away! It took almost a week to get everything figured out and I ended up reaching out to where it was mistakenly delivered. They were kind enough to forward it to the correct address so I eventually got it! My husband initially was really annoyed, but once he found out the seller had messed it up he got a good laugh out of it! All of the renovations are now complete and I love my new kitchen!
