Holy crap, I can be airheaded sometimes.
I collect replica arms and armor (medium to good quality, not crappy stainless steel wallhangers), and I made arrangements to purchase a piece secondhand. Just mailed the money order a little while ago, and managed to put the wrong apartment number on the shipping/return address.

*headdesk*

Fortunately, I dropped the guy a message correcting the details of my mistake ASAP. And since I triple-checked his address before I mailed it, there shouldn't be any problems on his end.

Please assure me that I'm not a 100% grade A fuckup.

1. Dyslexia or did you recently move?
:shrug:


I invert phone numbers all the time - and since taking phone messages is a major part of my job I have to be really careful

2. Brain went momentarily dead.
Printed 126 instead of 168.

4. Better let the people in 126 know.
They could be in for quite a surprise--"Honey? Did you order some, um, armor?" :rofl:

7. I'm not sure there IS a 126 in my building.
Fortunately, the shipper has received my message. Otherwise, some poor old person might have a heart attack when they opened the package (I live in a condo complex). ;)

This is what I bought second hand.

9. Interesting piece of hardware.
I gather it's a Celtic Falcata. The blade shape bears a startling resemblance to a Gurkha kukri. Either one would do a mighty quick job of head lopping. :evilgrin:

I plan on doing the occasional target practice on coconuts.

8. Welcome to the club.
I ordered a Christmas gift for my parents from amazon.com to be delivered to them. A perishable item - a smoked duck.

Dumbass moi put their address as the one where I grew up. They haven't lived there since 1985.

Thank God I managed to get hold of UPS and correct it and my sister then went to the Depot to pick it up just to be sure. I felt like such an idiot!
