North Betoota local Taylor Morrissete has today been left baffled and annoyed when a logistics mistake resulted in 10,000 spoons being delivered to her house yesterday morning.
One thing that didn’t cross her mind, however, was the word ‘ironic’.
The part-time florist and culinary enthusiast had ordered herself a new knife online, when her trusty Global snapped in two inside the dishwasher last week.
“I saw an amazing deal on Shintoko knives on Facebook” she recalled. “Like 80% off. So I snapped one up”.
After calling in sick, as not to miss the delivery, Ms Morrisette couldn’t believe her luck when a pallet carrying 20 boxes, each containing 500 table spoons, arrived at her doorstep.
She attempted to describe what she felt in more detail. “It’s like rain on your wedding day” she said. “Or a ‘No Smoking’ sign on your cigarette break. I definitely saw no irony in it”.
We tried to offer her some advice as to what to do with the spoons, though Taylor said that she just couldn’t take it.
Using one of utensils to retrieve a black fly from of her glass of chardonnay, she declared, “It’s the old mans 98th birthday tomorrow so I’ll offload them to him”.
