A St. Louis, the Rittenbergs, got a surprise when they got home and open the box that was supposed to have contained a brand new Sony Camcorder that they had purchased at a Best Buy store for $1600.
They opened the box and found a bottle of pasta sauce inside rather than the camcorder.
How mad would you be if that happened to you?
When the couple contacted the store regarding their find, store officials told them that the box was sealed so the switch couldn’t have happened in their store, and that it must have happened at the Sony warehouse.
Best Buy officials haven’t made a decision yet on how to handle the dispute.
The Rittenbergs say that they are not thieves and that they filed a police report upon making their saucy discovery.
Energy Ministers from the European Union were recently found out how important saving energy and resolving current problems are when they ended up sitting in the dark during a meeting on Thursday. A short blackout disrupted a discussion on, of all things, energy efficiency.
The lights went out around 10 a.m. British time. After initially halting talks, the ministers opted to go on debating how the 25-nation bloc can reduce its use of electricity and fuel. “They decided to continue working in the darkness,” an EU official present at the meeting said. “Delegations expressed the wish to continue the debate.”
Power came back shortly after the debate restarted, but the meeting was interrupted for nearly 30 minutes. Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs apologized to ministers for the disruption.
“I hope that the next meetings will not be disturbed by blackouts but it definitely shows how important energy is,” he said. An EU official said several European institution buildings in Brussels were affected.
God these things become addictive after a while don’t they?
Have you enjoyed seeing the occasional blooper video here at Odd Planet?
I’m always looking for material to give you a laugh, so if you find something funny that hasn’t been seen by everyone and their dog already please feel free to send it to me.
I’ve got another set of blooper videos for you – This one has a lot of racing smash ups, a few animal related bloopers- the cat on a fan is hilarious, but I feel kind of bad for the cat, and a lot of sports related mishaps.
