“On The Toad, uh, Road Again”
At this point, the disappointment has already been delivered, now I’m just waiting for the box.

Scored a birthday BOC on my daughter’s 10th birthday as a present to myself for successfully making it 10 years with the pickiest child alive. My BOC contained… drum roll please… a lot of random crap…
-
So. Many. IPhone. Accessories. (Yes- you guessed it… we’re an android household)
-
Dog Toys! Pictured with the gorgeous 16 year cocker spaniel model Brownie. Bolt, the chihuahua-terrier mix is frightened of everything so he hid under the bed during the unboxing.
-
Learn to write large pencils and a small white board
-
Random case for a laptop and also one for a boogie board
-
Manicure set, pedicure set and facial steamer
-
Toddler silverware, sippy cups, and food tray
-
Other randomness including wall clips, ace-bandage type wrap, a tiny wallet
-
The Woot bag and Wooton sticker. And…
-
Hours of entertainment with BattleShits. My 10 years old says…Haha. My 12 years old says Ew.
The cat is extremely disappointed in no cat toys. The other cat doesn’t care.
Thanks for my disappointment in a box!

My birthday week BOC was ‘Brad or Chad’ and contained:
Woot tote
50 badge holders (no use for these)
2 pin the tail on the horse games (might be fun after some alcohol)
Mylar ‘1’ balloon (yeah, can’t use this either)
4 cruise ship luggage tags (meh)
Glass screen protector for iPhone 8Plus (I have iPhone 8)
Leather phone wallet for LG (see above)
Clear phone case for iPhone 7/8 (yay! this will fit!)
24 clear balloons (sure!)
Cooling system sealing tabs (??? no clue)
12 mini disco balls (love these!)
4 twist up highlighters (cool)
2 No Smoking signs (okay, whatever…)
Woot monkey sticker (sweet!)
Jade massager (sure, why not?)
Paw Patrol night light (laughable)
‘Team Boy’ sticker (also laughable)
Chase Elliott NASCAR car (don’t follow nascar and have no idea who this is)
2 tongue piercings (do not have tongue pierced)
10 belly button piercings (do have belly button pierced)
2 quick detachable super swivels for a gun base (um, okay)
4 slot card reader (cool)
2 in 1 iPhone headset adapter (cool)
Y cable double lightning adapter (cool)
Organic Argan Oil (my daughter says this is awesome)
Citrus Fruit LED lights (so fun!)
Magnetic light with hook (sure!)
Not too bad Woot! Some things will go in the garage sale bin, but I can use other stuff. I expected some level of disappointment though, so that’s not surprising. I would say $10 well-spent on my part.

This BOC was packed with confusion and disappointment, but it had one giant moment of euphoria (but not for me), so, Ok, here goes….
8 round fish filters
6 boxes of seltzer chargers
2 woot stickers
1 woot bag … best crap ever
2 spark plugs
3 positivity bracelets
5 crabby wallets (no clue how these are supposed to work, fit on something)
1 pack of clear card covers
1 box of tattoo pen machine cover sleeves (why would woot even have these?)
1 bag of very pretty marbles
1 package of hearing aid batteries (is woot making some comment on my age?)
1 bird scaring away tape
1 glass protective cover for Samsung phone (not going to work in this Apple products home)
1 Apple Watch band (will work in this Apple products home)
1 watch band for unknown kind of watch
1 pack of chargers for Juul electronic cigarettes (never smoked, nor should you Woot!)
1 box of abdominal gauze pads (are you trying to tell me something?)
4 packages of various connectors for Apple products
1 heat pad and holder for ankles
1 Christmas ornament shaped cookie cutter
2 packages of unidentifiable black plastic things
1 big sketch book
1 silver infinity necklace with nautical wheel (appropriate for someone who lives on Cape Cod)
1 travel manicure set
So, I unpacked this BOC with my usual mix of emotions from confusion to disillusionment…but then something came out of the box…and my husband did his happy dance and named all the other men in the family that would now be jealous of him. This amazing find was… (drum roll please)
A Flir Spot thermal camera! See picture below of husband cradling his new toy.
So, sorry, Woot. You have failed this time in your evil scheme to disappoint and dismay all humans who receive your dastardly boxes. HA! (I, on the other hand was sad and disappointed as always).

Here is my crap. Most of it’s useful this time-though not all of it to me. Too big pants, iPhone screen protector and case to Goodwill. Some sort of activated charcoal filter. Toothpaste and flossing things. Trying to tell me something???
Some sort of foot thing. Monkey sticker. Other crap.

wide rule notebook - have to send a green one to school so this is perfect! - Roll of bags
- 2x tape with dispenser - useful
- Confidential crap bag
- Fanny pack - coming back in style?

- Box of 2 pairs of foot masks - I actually used a different brand before so will try
- 2x herb scissors - already have takers
- Pantonight scarf - have to open still
- Ream of printer paper - super useful!
Overall not crappy enough. Way too happy with my first one!

Tiny paint cups would be neat. May have to order for my mother
I got those too. Tried to give them away on my local buy nothing page, but no takers yet.
They cost $10 on amazon, but I can send you my bag if you want it. (https://www.amazon.com/120-Pack-Disposable-Adhesive-Extension/dp/B07HNXJ45M)
