Sometimes it’s tough to temper expectations, especially when you’re ordering online. You know, you order something from the Internet and then you’re forced to sit and wait until it arrives — it can get annoying.

What’s even worse is when your order arrives and it’s really not what you expected.

If reality has ever stumped your expectations, a new TikTok trend has users uploading things they wanted versus things they got.

The ‘what I wanted vs. what I got’ trend started after TikToker @kneelyknight went viral for posting a video of herself crying after she got her nails done — just not the way she was expecting. (Full video at end of the article.)

We’ve put together some of the best (or worst?) what I wanted vs. what I got products. You’re welcome, I guess?
