Well, I remember a story where an Instacart shopper was picking up some fresh fish for a customer. The fish somehow managed to jump out of the package in the cart and into another customer's cart. There was a lot of confusion until they figured out what happened. It was quite the comical scene.
There was a shopper who noticed a customer had ordered a lot of comfort food items. When delivering, the shopper found out that the customer was going through a tough time. The shopper left a kind note with the groceries. The customer later reached out to Instacart to praise the shopper's thoughtfulness. This story stands out as it shows how Instacart can be more than just a shopping service.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
Wrong items are very common. Shoppers might not be careful enough or misread the labels. Another one is late deliveries. Sometimes they get held up in traffic or take on too many orders at once.
There was an Instacart shopper who got an order for a dozen eggs. But when they were packing the eggs at the store, one of the eggs hatched right there in the carton! The shopper had to quickly call the customer and explain the situation. The customer found it so funny and asked the shopper to keep the little chick safe.
A steward in a small town library had an interesting incident. He was shelving books when he accidentally knocked over a whole stack of large, heavy books. The noise was so loud that it startled everyone in the library. He then slipped on one of the fallen books and landed in a rather ungraceful heap. Everyone had a good laugh, and he later joked about how the books were trying to keep him from working too hard.
A memorable one is when a Winston player went into his Primal Rage form at the wrong time. He thought the enemy team was about to attack, but they were actually retreating. So he ended up chasing after their backs, growling and swinging his arms, looking really silly as they just ran away from him without any real fight.
One memorable story is about a cattle rancher who found a koala sitting on one of his cows. The koala seemed to be enjoying the ride as the cow grazed. Another is when a group of miners in the outback witnessed a family of wombats digging a hole right next to their mining site. The wombats were so determined and didn't seem to care about the miners at all. It was hilarious.
