In life, everyone has certain expectations. This is especially true when trying to achieve something in particular they saw. That could be a haircut, manicured nails, a pet’s grooming, a birthday cake, or even a tangible product. Sometimes, life just isn’t fair.
In other words, rather than ending up with what they expected, well, let’s just say they get something entirely different. Here are 50 people who had this very experience. Some of these are hilarious and others, patheti … enjoy.
1. Almost got it right …
… okay, not even close. After seeing the photo on the left, one gal knew this is what she wanted Unfortunately, her results are on the right.

2. Relaxing on the grass
For a lot of people, there’s nothing more relaxing than to lie on the grass while staring up at the sky. That was the goal. Poor guy had so many bug bites that he was miserable for weeks.
3. Belle of the Ball
Wow, what a stunning gown. A woman saw this and thought it was perfect for an upcoming formal occasion. That is until the gown arrived.

4. Keeping him cool
Labrador Retrievers love water. And during the hot summer months, a dog pool is ideal. It appears that the seller and buyer have different ideas of “extra-large.”
5. Not so tough now
Men especially hate wearing the masks as protection during the coronavirus. But when one guy saw the mast on the left he had to get it. Somehow, he doesn’t look tough at all.
6. Uh, okay
Well, as you can see, this guy expected to get a Thumper mask, just like he ordered. He waited with anticipation. We’re not even sure what that’s supposed to be.

7. Looks so yummy
Who could resist a salad that looks like this? One person couldn’t. Until his server at Applebee’s delivered it to his table.
8. 100 Percent natural
People who tan want their skin to look naturally bronzed. They certainly don’t want something that looks completely fake. You know, like this gal ended up with.

9. A perfect place to nap
An individual purchased this coffee table because it was supposed to make the room appear more elegant. Perhaps they should’ve followed the photo and placed a vase inside. Personally, we think the kitty adds a nice touch.
10. Nailed it
These two hair colors look identical. Okay, not really. This woman must’ve been incredibly disappointed.

11. Great looking shirt
This guy wanted a shirt that perfectly contoured the body. After seeing the one in the advertisement, he bought it. It looks more like a green potato sack.
12. Looks like an alien
This person took their pup to get groomed. They even provided a picture of how they wanted her to look when finished. How in the world did the groomer get it so wrong?

13. It’s easy to make, they said
If you’ve never had Japanese Cotton Sponge Cake, you’re missing out. This individual wanted to make it and everyone said the recipe was easy. We suggest they throw their version in the trash before anyone sees it.
14. “My bad?”
That’s all the person who pierced this gal’s ears could say after ruining her life? Seriously, they weren’t even close. Someone needs to find a different career.

15. But it’s convenient
Especially for extra busy people, subscription meals are a lifesaver. Just as shown in the photo, this one comes with a mound of carrots. Unfortunately, it was more like half of a carrot.
16. Gosh, they’re good
All this person wanted was the bakery to make a bee birthday cake like the one on the left. How hard is that? Apparently, it’s super hard.

17. Sorry, but it’s true
Here’s some insight for anyone looking to marry a billionaire. They look nothing like you see on television. So, you’re going to have to lower your expectations … a lot.
18. Oh, the shame
Yep, here we go again. Just look at this pup. Not only is she naked with a semi-mohawk but she’s so embarrassed, she can’t even look at her owner.

19. “I think I can, I think I can”
A husband wanted a Homer cake for his birthday. His wife was convinced she could make one that looked as though it was made by a professional. “I thought I could, I thought I could.”

20. It’s so …
… creepy. The stuffed toy the woman ordered was adorable. The one she received in the mail is enough to give anyone nightmares

21. It fell flat
We’re talking about her hair. On the most important day of her life, this bride showed the stylist how she wanted her hair done. Hopefully, it didn’t ruin the entire wedding.
22. Do you see the resemblance?
You know, to Ariel? Don’t feel bad, we don’t either. And the woman wearing the mask … she’s stumped too.

23. Don’t eat it
As a matter of fact, don’t even look at it. This is such a disaster. What should’ve been so simple to make didn’t even come close to what the person expected.
24. Scarred for life
A poor child will never be the same. To all moms out there. If you don’t know how to decorate cakes, have one professionally made, please.

25. Not at all what they expected
Wow, look at that dishwasher rack that someone found advertised on Instagram. It can do just about anything except wash the dishes themselves. Then, look at what they received in the mail.
26. A perfect fit
Well, that’s at least what this woman was hoping for. This jumpsuit was so cute in the ad. But on her body, it doesn’t even look the same.

27. Not a happy camper
And that applies to both the homeowner and the snowman. How would you feel if this is what you received? You have to feel sorry for this poor snowman.
28. Not horrible but not great
The nails this woman wanted are pretty spectacular. The tech who did hers didn’t fail miserably. But we also wouldn’t consider this a success.

29. We don’t see it
Surely, making dinosaur dough couldn’t be that hard. Well, that’s what you’d think. But as you can tell, this person struggled … big time.
30. There’s just no excuse
Especially when a customer shows a photo of the cut and color they want, the stylist should have no problem delivering. Here again, someone’s in the wrong profession. They completely missed the mark.

31. She wanted just one thing
This girl wanted to look amazing at her prom. Shopping around, she found a perfect dress. But then, she put it on

32. Editing that went wrong
It’s common for a photographer to edit photos of kids taken on picture day. But in this case, something went horribly wrong. Minus the shirt, it doesn’t even look like the same boy.
33. The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good, these pants give her plenty of room to grow. The bad, she’ll have to grow a lot. The ugly … that’s self-explanatory.

34. Wasted money
Some people might look at the cut and color this gal got and think it looks okay. But when compared to what she expected, there’s a huge difference. Even worse, she paid $200 to get the wrong style.
35. From that to that?
How in the world did this happen? The nail tech could see what the client wanted by the photo she provided. Perhaps glasses would help … probably not.

36. Sweet idea, scary execution
A woman saw this wedding doll set and wanted a necklace made similar to it for her upcoming anniversary. So, she placed the order and waited. Now, she can wear a scary couple around her neck with a bride who looks as though she’s wearing a martial arts gee.
37. A tent dress
For those of you not old enough to remember, tent dresses were popular during the 1960s. But there’s one problem here. This wasn’t supposed to be one.

38. Beyond disappointed
This was nothing like they expected. Isn’t that false advertising? Maybe this person should consult with an attorney.
39. What’s wrong with these?
Well, nothing. If you’re more than six feet tall. And if you don’t mind them being about four sizes too large.

40. So, how does this work?
Today, ear pots are quite popular. Small, comfortable, and inconspicuous, people can listen to music wherever they go without bothering anyone around them. Sadly, this woman will never have the chance to use them.
41. Someone’s a little upset
And they’re a little hungry. At lunch, they stopped by a local store to buy a sandwich. Oh, so sneaky.
42. Maybe they should pass?
Would you eat that? We get it, the bakery was trying to make a spider. Instead, they made a “turd” that sits on top of the donut … gross.
43. The best body pillow ever
At least that’s what this woman was hoping for. Aren’t body pillows supposed to be large enough to cuddle with? This isn’t even big or fluffy enough for a small kitten.
44. They tried …
… and failed miserably. This person wanted to make an Easter cake, so, they used a photo as inspiration. Hopefully, it tasted better than it looked.
45. Where’s the manager?
Gooey, cheesy fries are the best. If they’re gooey and cheesy. It seems as though one employee doesn’t take a lot of pride in their work.
46. The color is close … sort of
The stylist who did this customer’s hair came close to the color she wanted. But something’s missing. Oh yeah, they forget the layers.

47. Banned from the kitchen
That’s right, this mom is officially banned from the kitchen. Well, at least making pancakes. Or more accurately, making these pancakes for all of things … her young son’s birthday breakfast.
48. Such a bummer
Hey, this isn’t knocking anyone who likes the Don Johnson or John Travolta look. But in trying to achieve it, this guy didn’t get what he paid for. The high waist and long legs … they just won’t cut it.
49. Who, what, why?
Who at Subway made this? What in the world is on it? And why do they think they’re allowed to call it a pizza?
50. You want to cry
Seriously, you want to shed tears on behalf of this woman. What could’ve been amazing, well, it wasn’t. Let’s hope another stylist can work their magic to correct this mistake.
