Ridiculous OPUs

[animalcrossing]

I'm surprised nobody has done this before (or maybe they have and I won't know because the search feature isn't working) but I want to see the absolute stupidest OPUs you all have gotten. I think the funniest I got once was a Balloon Time helium tank and condoms...Dumbest would have to go to someone ordering four of a bunch of different types of Harry's body wash (which I have proof of actually).

An inflatable kiddie pool and several tubes of KY Jelly.

Anything that is one single item that costs less than $10. (Seriously why isn't there a $ minimum for OPUs for some items like there is on .com?)

A single toothpick. Don’t know if it was a pack or not. Heard from another TM

Batteries. You are so lazy you can't walk in to the checkout lane to purchase? It would probably take you longer to stand at the service desk and wait til they go grab your bag and hand it to you than it would to just walk over to the check lane where your 4pk of AAs has conveniently been always right there and waiting for you.... and if you're not picking up and you're waiting as a drive up, it might save you 60 seconds (MAYBE) but you lose all your dignity. Walk your lazy ass in for you $6 purchase that is already waiting next to the check out. Smdh.

One pink eraser or a single ramen noodles. We kept getting those orders and they were never picked up. We figured they were testing hot credit cards before they went for the big score.

 

[JustTapNotNow]

A banana

I do not understand the tiny one item OPUs either!!! Like are you really saving that much time by doing that...

 

[FlowTeamChick]

One can of crushed tomatoes. This was at the beginning of covid and was the entirety of a ship from store order.

 

[lucidtm]

Exactly one Cadbury egg.

 

[redeye58]

A single bottle of water

A lot of times the single item orders are INFs from other stores. If an item is not available in the store you’re looking to order from, it will give you the option to pick it up at another store. its majorly annoying AF, and I’m sure people actually order one single, small item just the same, but that may explain at least SOME of them.

I hate when it’s a lot of single, small items that I have to prep and stow, especially when I am racing the clock!

Got another dumb one yesterday. Why on earth would someone need TEN of these plastic clear bins??

I've used that many storing baby clothes/supplies between kids and my FIL led Boyscouts for many years and these totes were used for everything in their medium-size trailer they took camping. Not crazily unreasonable to need that many.

 

[TurgetCirkl]

most of these orders are very valid orders yall LMAO.

 

[Reshop Ninja]

I'm pretty such I've picked orders for some preppers. Tons of dry staples and canned goods.

 

[Rarejem]

When I pick what seems to be excessive numbers of items they are more likely than not for facilities for the elderly/disabled or daycares that are replenishing supplies. '

That makes a lot of sense actually, I just don't see how someone would even be able to carry all ten at the same time especially considering this wasn't for a drive-up order...

 

[Dream Baby]

Twenty cases of 32 pack water.

It was not located on the floor or in the back.

It was still on the trailer but "on hand".

I had to haul up it front on an U-Boat.

If that had been my OPU I would have immediately been an INF.

 

[SigningLady]

Today I picked an OPU that was 5 different kinds of movie theater candy and 2 boxes of toothpaste. Not necessarily a ridiculous order but I found it amusing. 😆

 

[Planosss]

Ridiculous opu

 

[mandyrex]

My favorites from yesterday: one order was a single packet of mild chili seasoning, and another was a Covid test, a pregnancy test, and a bag of sour gummy worms. I hope they get the results they’re looking for 🤷

The worst I remember us getting was 44 cases of I believe it was the 24 packs.

We have people do that to donate and we have a camp nearby that will order that as well. I remember putting 20 on a flat for someone then they never picked it up. Went back to rts and I put it away amd later that day they reordered the same thing. 🙄

 

[AmICrazy]

Not OPU, but rather SFS. KY Jell and Hellman's Mayo. I guess Hellman's is not available west of the Rockies (only Best Foods). I am in the middle of the Rockies, so both are available here.
