Mum nabs bargain net to clean her paddling pool on eBay… then is mortified when it’s absolutely titchy
WE'VE all been there - we've ordered something online and failed to read the entire description, leaving us with instant buyers regret once it finally arrives.
This very thing happened to one woman who was shocked to find a net she ordered off eBay to clean her pool was much smaller than she'd imagined - so small in fact it was smaller than her hand.
Kelly Campbell, 39, from Cheshire wanted to clean up the paddle pool in which measures around 10ft long.
So to get the job done, she decided to order a pool net from eBay and was mortified when the item arrived and fit perfectly in the palm of her hand.
Kelly posted a picture of the hilarious mishap on her Facebook page with the caption: “When will I EVER learn (I do this often).
"Husband: We need a net to clean the paddling pool, as well as the filter! (Pool is 10ft) Me: Ok cool, I’ll order one off the internet. Arrives: Littlest net in the whole world!!!!!”
The post has since gained over 31K likes and 1.9K comments leaving dozens of users in hysterics - with many finding the scenario all too relatable.
One wrote: “Could be good for a cup of tea”
And another added: “At least it’s telescopic”
Meanwhile, a third said: “This is the biggest laugh I've had in a week”
Speaking about the pool net, Kelly said: “I ordered the net last week off eBay as I wanted to to clean our 10ft paddling pool.
“When I opened the package, I was in shock as I really didn’t realise, I had ordered a tiny net and when I went back to the read the item description on eBay, that I hadn’t read, it said shrimp net!
“That’ll teach me to make sure I don’t just look at pictures.”
