Ever seen those videos of online orders gone wrong? You order something, looking forward to its arrival, only to discover that what has been delivered bears little resemblance to what you thought you were buying.
Sometimes life does an equally impressive job of getting deliveries wrong.
People, relationships and environments turn out to be entirely different from what we imagined or were led to believe. Sometimes the discrepancy is so remarkable that one wonders whether somebody somewhere mixed up the orders.

Some deliveries have to be managed. Others have to be handed over to someone else. And some leave us wondering how exactly we are supposed to make use of something we never ordered in the first place.
