Dec IRK.
4I just now got a notification for something shipped from meh.com
I ordered only two things on last few days and one them was delivered yesterday. The other was IRK.
The status of order still shows as processing but I am hoping they have shipped the IRK.
Fed says they will deliver by tomorrow but I am sure it will be Christmas miracle if gets here before Christmas

Same… excited… mine shows will arrive by the 20th! So I’ll be able to open mine up Xmas morning! Woohoo.
/showme opening up a box for of mediocre stuff on Xmas morning surrounded by Christmas trees, reindeer, elves, and a loyal loving family with glee and merriment on their faces as they drink egg nog and pull christmas crackers.
@OnionSoup Guess it is mom and her twin sister?
@OnionSoup Live near Austin, IRK comes from Carrollton so I’m usually one of the first to get. Notification says I receive tomorrow, 12/20.
Here’s my dilemma. Do I open when I receive and get bragging rights for starting the thread? Or do I wait until 12/25 to make Santa happy and me sad
with delayed disappointment.
@rcwbbb mine arrives tomorrow… but I’m waiting until Xmas to open, and I’m not looking at any of the reveal threads until then either.
@OnionSoup @rcwbbb i dont know how the shipping schedule works, but i live in Florida and mines supposed to atrive today.
@braveit1 @OnionSoup Great. Hope your notification is right. Then my IRK will be my Christmas present.
Looking for your thread declaring you the first to receive.
@OnionSoup @rcwbbb I’m definitely not the first. Also, I jinks myself. FedEx sent me an email saying there was a shipping delay and my IRK is now rescheduled for delivery today. Oh well, it’s still before christmas.
@OnionSoup @rcwbbb and just like that, it arrived. Contents posted in thread below.
Well mine arrived, will post pictures when I open, but that won’t be until Xmas.
Small box and very light. I predict it’s just hand sanitizer and masks.
Now
/showme opening up a box of mediocre stuff on Xmas morning surrounded by bare Christmas trees, dead reindeer, dark elves, and an angry family with pain and misery on their faces as they spill egg nog and pull christmas crackers.
@OnionSoup Was this really necessary?
@raccoon81 It’s the self-dichotomy of the IRK, either a thing of wonder and merriment, or instant regret…
I should have done them the other way round… always end on a positive note! I’m sure the Christmastime IRK will be a good one!
That’s the magic of Christmas, every IRK will be full of wonder.
@OnionSoup Getting pretty deep here.
Hoping you are right about good christmastime IRK, mine says should be delivered tomorrow. May just leave on the porch to see what the pirates think.
@raccoon81 No, you can’t do that… bring it in, open it… if it’s regret, retape it and put it back on the porch. You can’t lose.
@OnionSoup @raccoon81
@OnionSoup @raccoon81
Wouldn’t that be some shit, you steal a box off someone’s porch and all it is, is expired food and hand sanitizer. That’s what mark rober should have taped lol
@OnionSoup
/showme schrodinger’s box of Irk surrounded by a family celebrating the mediocrity on Christmas morning and a moose for some reason. Banana for scale.
@mediocrebot This works.
@capnjb @mediocrebot I want a moose in my IRK!
I’ve never had a Moose before.
I want an Instant-Regret Moose for Christmas,
Only an Instant-Regret Moose will do
That’s either an enormous banana, or tiny humans.
@raccoon81 @Star2236 it would be fun to put some really bizarre crap I don’t want in a box and leave it on my porch for someone to steal. Might be a way to stop future thefts too!
Fortunately though, I live out in the country. Knock on wood: No one wants to walk 150’ uphill at a 15’ angle to steal boxes from my front porch and we have driveway chimes and someone always home, so we’d see them if they did.
@OnionSoup The important question is… What are your ‘chimes’ chambered in’?
@capnjb Little black plastic owls. I have a few going up the driveway, that way I know if it’s just deers and racoons setting one off… or if they progress in order, I know it’s an actual car coming.
@capnjb @OnionSoup
Yeah fortunately I live in a neighborhood that nobody steals packages off my porch or I’d do it myself.
@capnjb @OnionSoup @Star2236 Steal it yourself?
@OnionSoup @raccoon81
I think so.
@noIRK - shipped: 12/18/2024 4:36pm ET
@Thumperchick than you for confirmation
iMine still says processing
Mine is scheduled to arrive Saturday. I anxiously await its delivery with much regret.
@heartny Mine too. I suppose my regret will not be instant and will have to fester until Saturday.
mine says arriving 12/19 and weighs 1 pound and is 6x4x1 in. hmmm nice already regretting it lol.
@ef777 FYI: That is just a placeholder and does not indicate the exact measurements or weight of the package.
@IndifferentDude good to know thanks
@ef777 @IndifferentDude OH! Thanks for that explanation. I was very wondering what could be that small.
/showme opening up a 6x4x1 inch box that weighs 1 pound on Christmas full of regretful prizes and items in front of family and they are laughing at me for my decision.
@ef777 That actually looks pretty accurate!
@ef777 @Kyeh I once used a Bag of Crap as a family party white elephant gift. I think it was the most stolen item.
@ef777 I can just see myself discovering in front of my family that my IRK is the 72-pack of Maxim condoms… factory seconds, of course.
Hypothetical situation: longtime partner + vasectomy + the 72-pack = regret.
@ef777 This is my box too! 6x4x1, 1 pound. I have no idea. My last IRK had saucepans and a set of sheets, so this is really a mystery. And of course I’m out of town until the 29th, so I’ll find out what it is from here.
@ef777 never mind, I see upthread that it’s just a placeholder size.
YAY! Got shipping notice this morning and my IRK is supposed to arrive Saturday (12/21)!!!
@romellex Ditto
/showme ditto
@mediocrebot My sister Carol married a guy named Carroll. Some of her friends started calling her “Ditto”.
@blaineg @mediocrebot There are two Lisas in my friend group, and one of them has been Deuce for decades.
Friday 27th sooo. Do I peek in the reveal thread or hold out? Not that the reveal will tell me what mine contains but maybe lower my already rock bottom expectations.
@speediedelivery You optimize the regret if you look at what others get and see stuff you hope you get.
@romellex @speediedelivery I’m pumped to be one of the earlier ones… I think historically, although plenty of early ones are junk too- the good stuff normally arrives early.
I’m always so excited seeing the luggage sets and Cuisinart sets people receive… and then I get Trackrs, expired vegan cheeto rip-offs and Craft Paint.
I’m not looking at the reveal thread this time until I’ve opened my box.
@speediedelivery Is this the reveal thread?
The /showme command is a member feature. Join membership to try it out.
@Kyser_Soze Appears so. I was thinking of the shipping thread but seems combined.
My arrival date moved up a few times and was delivered yesterday. New robot vacuum with a green bag squished on top.
I should clean my house and use it. Nah, it will be regifted. I think it would drive DH nuts and maybe cause a fall. Still should clean but not today
Sing along with me…
I want an Instant Regret Kit for Christmas,
Only an instant Regret Kit will do,
I don’t want a knife, no dinky speaker dock,
I want an Instant Regret Kit to open and then ‘Glock’
I want an Instant Regret Kit for Christmas,
I don’t think Snapster Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue,
Just send it ‘Pitney Bowles’,
That’s the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs.
Oh what joy and what surprise,
When I open up my eyes,
To see a few-score trackrs standing there
I want an Instant Regret Kit for Christmas,
Only an Instant Regret Kit will do,
No Bags-of Crap, or actual real pressies,
I only like to open: Instant Regret Kitsies,
And Instant Regret Kitsies like me too!
@OnionSoup I smell AI.
And also, that is now stuck in my head.
Shakes fist
GET OFF MY ALGORITHM!
@capnjb No AI in that!
@OnionSoup Better than a hippo - even Moo Deng.
It’s about time some more pallets of regret were distributed, isn’t it?
@blaineg
Yes it is!!!
@blaineg yes please!!!
Mine got delivered today.
Hard to wait until my significant other comes home to open it!
Also its HUGE.
From the sound it makes, I’m pretty sure the toaster oven is actually in there.
@Grimskull89 Nice!!! That’s one of the merry Christmas IRKS!
@Grimskull89 mazel tov!
@Grimskull89 @kostia they both fall on the same day this year
Contents include:
-A returned* Oster XL Air Fryer
*Didn’t pull it out of the box, but the inner box was open, and the foam was all smooshed.
-Green Irk with red letters.
Not surprised there wasn’t anything else. Also, definitely the biggest thing I’ve gotten from these sort of things. Congratulations to Meh, you now hold the record.
P.S. The other half isn’t sure where to fit this behemoth.
Lol Mine was shipped today and is still in Texas, yet FedEx says expected delivery today. so… I’ll probably get it sometime before the new year
@mediocrebot same! I’ve had it on delivery today for the last two days. It’s fedex so clueless tracks.
Well… mine was just delivered. Based on photo from doorbell camera it is really light. Not very optimistic.
My IRK was scheduled for tomorrow & just 5 minutes later, it was changed to Saturday 12/21/24, my birthday! So I KNOW it’s going to be GOOD! Right?
Best one I’ve got in a long time.
•Moen shower head - will install this weekend
•Kaloc earbuds - may use at work
•Run Gum - expired but the kids will use it
•Joggers, size M - kid might wear
• Irk bag - not for the color blind
Merry Xmas all!
@bluebeatpete Nice! Although I would have preferred a RumGun instead of the RunGum
@capnjb Yes please. Fill mine with 18 year old Flohr de Cana
FedEx says it arrives tomorrow. But it’s still in Texas, so I have my doubts.
@blaineg Mine says arrives TODAY, but it’s still a couple states away, in Colorado while I’m in Montana!
Got my expired IRK today. Nothing remarkable, just the right amount of regret and expired products. 2 bottles of expired hand sanitizer(7/2023), 7x 3-packs of expired face masks (Sept 27, 2022), 1 bag of expired pet wipes (6/1/2024), 2 bottles of expire sp70 sunscreen (9/2024), and 2 boxes of expired (next week) beet-fruit bars (12/24/2024). And finally, an eye expiring green bag.
I get that food, hand gel (lose full strength) , sun screen (ability to block uv light) and pet wipes (dry up) can expire, but i didn’t know masks could expire.
@braveit1 I got basically the same IRK,
Not worth the $20/$10 after the coupon
Thanks MEH, for making the Holidays Merrier!
@braveit1 If you bought one of those tabletop alcohol stoves Meh/sidedeal was selling a while back or are outdoorsy and have the patience to make a cat food can alcohol stove that are popular among backpackers, that expired hand sanitizer is passable fuel
@braveit1 That’s a lot of regret right there!
@Vectors you habe to be very carful buring straight alcohol. The flame can be invisible. These are 80% alcohol so they may burn but im not sure about the moisturizer & aloe components. Might also be used as an icepack but id keep it off direct contact with the skin.
Tracking says estimated delivery tomorrow, but it is also on a truck for delivery today. Exciting! Maybe!
FedEx dropped it off about 20 mins ago
My kit was not a kit at all, maybe that’s where the instant regret comes in.
1x Heated Sofa Cover that doesn’t heat
1x Irk bag
@lichme WOW!! That is Sofa King GREAT!!
Got an iHome Auto VAC Nova S2 Robot Vacuum. Came in the most beat to crap box I’ve seen. Obviously, a return. The owners guide was opened to the troubleshooting guide. Not a good sign. Bright green and Irk bag.
Those sweats fit quite nicely
Hope we don’t need masks again but, if so, these are good ones
My family will fight for these
Never tried a hand warmer, but looks like a fine idea
And who could miss that bag behind everything?
Thank you MEH!
Got my IRK a day early… A Tacklife vacuum! I think this is 3 now in IRKs… Plus the three I ordered back when it seemed like a good idea to start a robot army.
Regardless, it’s better than pet butt wipes. 
@brainmist
Somebody must like you for you to be on your 3rd robot vac
Mine arrived today out of the blue, a nice surprise!
Got a Shark Wandvac system, definitely a return.
I bought one of the smaller Shark vacs a few months back, it died after about a month, so I have little faith in this one.
Nonetheless it also came with a bag. I’m not complaining that I only got 1 bag and 1 item, but I mean…we used to have traditions here…
.
My IRK arrived and it was a TackLife Robot Vacuum. Huh, was not expecting that. Well, maybe now my floors will be cleaner.
@Steelplaza Note that there is no longer an app for “convenient” use of the features.
@Steelplaza @werehatrack Someone on another forum posted: FYI, I just set mine up today (it’s been sitting on my shelf for a while) and was able to download the last version of the tacklife app apk directly off APKPure and was able to both register for a login and set up the vac with it. So far so good, but my standards are pretty low here, upgraded from a super old budget deebot slim that finally died.
I’m still hoping for luggage one day. My irk should be here tomorrow.
@milstarr me too. That’s always been like the holy Grail of Irks… Or the cooking sets some people get. My tiny box suggests nothing of the sort though.
@milstarr @OnionSoup I always liked food and drink IRKs. I did get a space heater last summer (some parts not included); boy do I love it now!
@milstarr @pakopako how many years has this place been running now? Best I’ve had in that time is a vacuum sealer (twice) and a hair dryer. Actually no, best was a random Xmas goodie bag irk that was sent to me… That one was a lot of fun.
@milstarr I got a luggage set once. This IRK looks like it will be a lump of coal. The FedEx dimensions of the box are small and it weighs one pound. My guess it will be a box of TrackRs. Certainly going to be far less than what I paid for it, which is a bummer. #PIRK (preliminary instant regret kit).
Received my IRK today, an iHome Auto Vac Nova S2. Arrived dirty, obviously a return. Seems to work well though. And a red and green bag.
Got mine today. Another pile of garbage. Everything expired except the bag and the pool float, which I would have loved back when we lived in California and had a pool. Actually, we did have two unicorn floats when we lived there. We use to do unicorn jousting with pool noodles. But anyway. Nothing good at all. Again.
@Pony what is really sad is that 4 1/2 years ago people would have killed for that irk
@Cerridwyn @Pony It was free and you got a $10 coupon with it, right?
@Pony hand sanitizer is just alcohol and still useful after expiration. Sunscreen should be used year round, but probably not useful if long expired. Pool float can be useful on vacation.
@Cerridwyn @Pony @sammydog01 The IRKs were $20 plus tax and you get a $10 coupon for 2025. So technically $10 of instant regret.
@Cerridwyn @Pony @sammydog01 @Shoebox23 see the drop of blood icon next to their name? That means they have a Meh related tattoo and so get IRKs free for life.
They don’t pay for theirs. Well technically they do because a tattoo isn’t free.
@OnionSoup @Shoebox23 If you count the coupon they paid us $10 to take it.
@Cerridwyn @OnionSoup @Pony @sammydog01 @Shoebox23
I wondered what the drop of blood meant.
Looks like I got one of the Merry Christmas IRKs.
Maybe I should ask the FedEx guy to come back and adjust the box so that you can see the writing on it.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Edit: I will say that it seems to be NIB because it looks to be wrapped in its original plastic. I haven’t taken it out of the box because it might be a a lot of work to put it together.
@Barney
/giphy so big
@Barney what is it?!?!?
@tinamarie1974
I’m sure that Mom’s Lady dog is looking down from doggie heaven and grinning that she is not within reach of this “bad, noisy carpet cleaner”.
This is a very nice Christmas prezzie, Meh. Thanks.
@Barney @tinamarie1974
Very nice.
@Barney oh thats lovely
4 lotions sunscreen Australia gold
Wipe right pk
2 hand sanitizers
Cerebelly strawberry beet box
8 masks
Green and red bag
Tacklife S10 Pro robo back
Green Irk bag
App unavailable for my phone.
@kyanostiger Go to APKPure and grab the app from there. I found that recommendation on Reddit and it works!
My payload:
Green/red irk atrocity bag
Contigo mugs
Gray cargo sweatpants
Box of N95’s (look like nice ones fwiw)
Not feeling regret, what gives?
@rampantoctopus Regret may require some assembly by the recipient. Batteries seldom included. (If they are, they will probably be dead and/or leaking.)
Possibly my most regrettable IRK yet, which is saying something, considering that my previous one was stolen.
Contents:
Holy Mackerel!
I got a drum set for my grandson! Looks like a decent one too.
He is a bit young for it but my daughter said they are willing to store it. haha, omg I feel so sorry for the neighbors.
https://a.co/d/iZ1iyq6
And an IRK bag crammed in the bottom of the box.
@Dakini I should have added the stock photo, looks pretty nice! Better than the expired sunscreen I got last time.
@Dakini
That’s awesome. My nephew is really into drums right now. He’s 2 so he’s been banging on bowls till Xmas when he opens his little drum set.
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
Mine could have been worse, not picture worthy, but could have been worse…
Lime green IRK bag
2 Australian gold SPF70 sunscreen tubes
Package of pet wipes
1 bottle of hand sanitizer
20 pieces N95 respirators
Kaloc T25 stereo earbuds
@wahya4519
I got the exact same thing (only one sunscreen) and I also got some simply unstitched socks. I think it’s pretty terrible and regretful. The socks are definitely welcome and I’m sure I’ll use the earbuds at some point but all I’ve got for the past I can’t even remember how many irks is masks, hand sanitizer, paint and shit like that. I guess at least it had the socks and ear buds. Merry Xmas meh.
@Star2236 With so many Meh-ers getting masks, hand sanitizer, and pet wipes, they’ve gotta run out them soon.
@wahya4519 Yeah, it could have been worse. You could have gotten strawberry beet sawdust nutrition bars instead of the earbuds. Mmm… sawdust!
@ItalianScallion @wahya4519
You would think they would run out soon.
@ItalianScallion @Star2236 @wahya4519 That is exactly what I received. All the other stuff, but no headphones. Just the sawdust bars.
One of the more minimal IRKs I’ve received, but also minimally regrettable. Red and green Christ-meh themed IRK bag, unicorn pool float, dog wipes, tube of sunscreen, and box of expired N95’s (how do these things expire?). Thanks, Meh!
I’m a bundle of nerves right now. My IRK will arrive in a matter of hours. Drums? Some sort of vacuum cleaner? A Bag O’ Crap? I need a Valium.
tl;dr My first IRK lived up to its name.
Not a Bag O’ Crap, but a Box O’ Crap:
12 KN95 masks that expired two years ago
14 As-seen-on-TV face masks that aren’t (K)N95
2 boxes of strawberry beet nutrition bars that taste like strawberry-flavored sawdust
2 pet hair rollers
1 large pack of pet wipes (expired)
1 lime-green IRK bag which I will cherish forever
Geez, not even a broken Altec Lansing bluetooth speaker!
The pet things will go to someone I know who volunteers at a pet shelter. The food will go in compost. The masks will go in the trash.
Given the chance, will I buy another IRK? You bet!
Mine arrived this am, not pic worthy at all:
2 boxes n95 masks - expired (2.5 years ago)
3 packs of dog cleaning wipes - expired
3 tubes of spf70 sunscreen - expired
1 green IRK bag
Mine was supposed to come yesterday. FedEx, at 4:57PM, claimed a delivery exception that I had asked for a different delivery date. Nope. I did not. I am leaving town and it would have arrived before I did. Now it won’t. Fuck them. They just didn’t want to deliver it so close to when they got off work. Now it will come after I am gone. Sure I can have a neighbor pick it up (I live in an apt building) but then I get to wait 10 days to see what I got.
FUCK FEDEX. They pull this stunt on a regular basis. After I get it I am going to get that turd in trouble for lying so he/she didn’t have to do their job. If I were to cause trouble before I got it I know I’d never get it. This happens with most fedex deliveries here. We must be at the end of the route.
@Kidsandliz FedEx often sucks. When we have problems, it’s always because of FedEx. One driver drove 4’ off our driveway over a bunch of potted cuttings (like a dozen of them) once.
Don’t want to assume the worst, but have to assume that was deliberate, not sure how you can go 4’off the driveway… Especially when it drops of precipitously if he went any further off. Don’t know why he would do it on purpose though. That was before we started complaing about our fedex guy doing crazy things.
@Kidsandliz i got a delivery notice and a photo of someone elses front door. Waved the driver down and had him get my irk and other package…smh
@n3uka @OnionSoup and it was supposed to be out for delivery today. But now it says unknown delivery date. Sigh. It is sitting across town. If I was home and not out of state I’d run out to the fed ex building and ask them to go fish it out since they appear incapable of delivering it. Unless, of course, they lost it.
@Kidsandliz @n3uka @OnionSoup
Haha.
I live in an apartment building. UPS delivers the packages right to my door, or at worst, leaves them in the lobby near the mailboxes like USPS and Amazon (direct) deliveries do.
FedEx?
They throw that shit outside. Not even in the lobby, but outside the building.
How is their service quality so bad? They’ve always been the most expensive, and still are, but have consistently been the worst for a long time now.
@n3uka @OnionSoup @ShotgunX You reminded me that I had a package left at the entrance to the apartment building, on a busy street that had the homeless walk by on a regular basis (it’s near an intersection at a highway exit where they panhandle). Luckily it was small and another resident delivered it to me.
@Kidsandliz
Yeah, we have a crazy amount of theft where I live. You should be able to guess the location within…two tries, I’d say. Just had a box of wine from Casemates stolen from me last week.
I always bring in people’s packages from the outside/lobby when I see them. Our lobby is totally platered with security cam photos of package thieves.
My delivery date has changed to tomorrow, so no birthday IRK
Dang mine was great! Bunch of masks I’ll use for home repair, some sick lotion, a dope set of whatever named wireless earbuds, righteous irk Christmas bag, some slammin nice looking socks and some bitchin pet wipes i can actually use on my cats floofy butt. – forgot I also got some hand sanitizer gel
Smallest and lightest IRK ever
Xmas bag
Masks
Junk makeup
Underbed bag
Contigo mugs for the win
So acceptable
@Cerridwyn Julep is actually a good makeup brand!
@Kyeh all makeup is junk to me. I have actually never worn it in my nearly 70 years on this Earth
@Cerridwyn mine was identical except no makeup nor under bed storage bag, but the box looked tampered with/partially open.
@Cerridwyn Wow!
@Kyeh well back in the early '70s there was some right lipstick if you’re old enough to remember that. Otherwise I’ve known so many people who pancake did on and made it look fake. I’m not vain. I am who I am I shouldn’t need to look like anybody else. Just me.
I also work for several years with a place it had a jewelry ban for religious reasons. It however had no ban on any kind of makeup. So I’m either women looked like prostitutes or at least what we would have said at that point in time. We’re talking late 80s. Because they couldn’t put simple little earrings in their ears that weren’t single studs but they could pile on all the makeup that they want. It’s probably also why all the plastic surgery type treatments and injections with so many people do today looks doubly fake to me
@Cerridwyn Oh, yes - the makeup scene today is bonkers.
But I’ve never had the confidence to go out in public without some eyeliner and eyeshadow. It’s getting more perfunctory as I get older though. No lipstick, no “contouring” - I can’t be bothered with that.
@Kyeh I get it. Back in the day I was that way with jewelry. When I left working at the hospital and work for somewhere where I was allowed to wore it, I wore it every day. And styles that I really liked and were you kind of uniquely me etc. I eventually change jobs a couple more times back to an organization that had a dress code that there were certain things you didn’t wear. By the time I left there it had relaxed quite a bit but then I quit wearing the jewelry and I’ve never managed to get back in the habit of putting it on and sometimes that bothers me but I just sort of shrug. I’ve been making it effort not to buy anymore because I wear it once or twice and then never put it on again
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh
Yes, I’d be thrilled to get those julup lipsticks! If they’re lipsticks that is…
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh I have a older friend who remarked a few years ago that putting eyeshadow on is like putting eyeshadow on a scrotum.
I will never forget that.
@Kyeh @lisaviolet thank you so much for an early morning laugh out loud
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh @lisaviolet
Right!
@Cerridwyn @lisaviolet @Lynnerizer Euwwww … no thanks at all for that image!
Not picture worthy but also no regrets
-red/green IRK bag - LOVE
-pet wipes, we have a pet, will wipe him
-20pk N95 masks
-Hand sanitizer
-Sunscreen
-Unicorn pool float, we have a pool and I have a teen daughter, she has dictated this a truly winning IRK for the unicorn alone
Thanks Meh and Mehry Christmas to all!
Very meh.
Pet lint/hair rollers (no pets, hope the inlaws like them)
Pet wipes (no pets)
Toddler bars (no toddlers)
N95 respirators (no respirating. Serious facial hair prohibits it
Bag
I hope I can find something very worth the $20 I paid for a $10 coupon next year, or I’ll be put on a no fuku/irk moratorium again
@bigcurmudgeon Same as mine. I truly know the meaning of regret now.
Rec’d my December IRK today and am undecided as to whether I got ZONKED
or not. Just 2 items: a Lovely Neon Green Bag and an incomplete iHome AutoVac Luna Pro. The box is in rough shape and the inside was missing the original packing material along with the remote control, spare spinner brush and a user manual. It appears though that what is inside is new and unused … weird!! The Robot unit’s sweeper brushes and wheels are perfectly clean and the Docking unit looks new as well. Not sure what to do with it but I suppose I could sell what I rec’d for parts. The downside is the item has mostly negative reviews. Oh well. Maybe I’ll do better next time. 
Stock pic of item with missing parts X’d out:
@IndifferentDude Compared to my Box O’ Crap, you hit the jackpot. BTW the user manual is available online. IHome sells the remote for $14.99 and Walmart has one that looks like the same thing for $10.99.
@ItalianScallion Thanks for the info!
The IR was real in this one.
Expired sunblock
Expired face masks
Expired pet wipes
Expired sanitizer
Hella cheap wireless headphones
IrK bag that guarantees my husband can spot me at the grocery store without having to call (that I guess is good-ish maybe)
Long live the IRK.
@Sneakertree They gave out one like that (only minus the headphones) for me last irk. Must have had some leftover.
Got mine today the standard bag, N95 masks, and a IPL hair remover. Sort of regretful. We’ll see if my wife likes the hair remover.
![irk][1]
Got mine today. Definitely meh. Thank you! And merry Christmas!
@cutiecupid15 what’s the members only?
@OnionSoup they are sweatpants
Most Instant Regret of any IRK I’ve had in a long time.
Green/Red bag is a win
Generic wireless earbuds
3 random small shirts.
Transparent small bag for all those venues now that dont allow bags.
@chaos13
That’s pretty good compared to what we all got.
Best one in awhile, but…
. Meh-ry Christmas 
Got the awesome red and green IRK bag.
Plus a new robot vacuum. Unfortunately I have wayyyyy too much crap on the floors for it to maneuver. Maybe I can find it a good home.
Thanks Meh
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
/showme an awesome fat cat diplomat saying rat-a-tat
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot Wow. Just wow. Kudos on the kitty!
@llangley
Well if you participate in the meh exchange I’m sure someone would love that lol
Same as a bunch of you … Christmas colored IRK bag and a Tacklife S10 Robot Vacuum (box still has little circle sealing stickers in the right spots, so I’m guessing NIB?) Not much regret at all
Thanks, Meh!
I got the bag and a Calphalon ActiveSense Blender, definite return, they did not clean it in the slightest. Once it is clean I will see if it still works.
I will say ditto on the entry one up above me. Tack life vacuum robot and green bag with red printing. I will give it to my son that just moved into his own house. His floors aren’t so junked up (like mine) so it may actually work!
Thanks meh! Mehry Christmas!
Maybe luggage some other time.
Brand new set of pans in a beat up original box. Beautiful Christmas green and red bag to go with. Thanks! Best one in a while
@mbersiam
Very nice Christmas gift to you.
My IRK arrived today. The regret is strong with this one.
• Green/Red IRK bag
)
• Biscuit Machine (What?
• Nichole Miller portable powerbank
• Box of N95 masks
• Pair of Contigo water bottles
@heartny Oh, a cookie press! It looks vintage, too - that’s kind of cool!
Hmm, made in China so maybe not vintage.
@heartny I’m guessing that Meh has never heard the rumor that you don’t cook, bake, or maybe don’t even know where your kitchen is.
@Barney Apparently. But I guess they know I drink water and recharge my phone
@Kyeh Yeah, definitely not vintage. Interesting, but definitely not something I can use.
@heartny not bad actually. more than one thing that isn’t junk
@Cerridwyn @heartny
I’ve always wanted to try one of those cookie press things but never enough to buy one.
@Barney @heartny Are you the one who’s said you store something totally unrelated to cooking (like books?) in your oven?
@Kyeh Nope, not me. Maybe @heartny? I only store important stuff, like potato chips, in my oven.
@Barney @heartny @Kyeh but she does store electronics undisturbed in her nightstand.
@Barney @heartny @tinamarie1974
Yes, I meant heartney.
Electronics, eh.
(Potato chips!
)
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 is talking about the first cell phone that I bought. It seems that I am terrified of electronics, especially new electronics and that cell phone spent most of its time in my nightstand completely ignored by me.
But after six years, probably four of which it spent in the nightstand, I had to replace it a couple of months ago.
TM, I’m actually enjoying this new phone and I let it out of its drawer a lot more often than the old one.
@Barney @tinamarie1974 Okay.
(I knew that. Just had to tease you.)
@Kyeh
@Barney @Kyeh @tinamarie1974 While I don’t store anything in my stove, I do store things in my dishwasher. I don’t use it because it died after less than 3 years of use and not cooking means I don’t really need it . There was a recall on the dishwasher, but all GE offered was $50 toward the purchase of a new one.
@Barney yea!!! Happy to hear you are getting comfortable w your new phone. Progress!
@heartny @Kyeh I dont use my dishwasher to wash dishes, I do that by hand. The top is for those big yeti mugs and Charlie’s dog bowl collection. The bottom is for snacks. Those bags take up a lot of room!!!
@Barney @heartny @tinamarie1974
Wow - I do use my dishwasher! But I use the oven so seldom that I store some flat pans and cookie sheets in it; they’re easy to take out if I need to. I mostly cook on the stovetop and in my Ninja Foodi and a toaster oven airfryer. Oh, and the microwave.
@heartny biscuits are English for cookies. Ive used a similar cookie press for christmas cookies for years. Still have it.
Exactly the same as @llangley, @bblood, @milstarr and several others - Christmas colored IRK bag and a Tacklife S10 Robot Vacuum, apparently new, haven’t tried it yet. Not bad at all! But I’m kind of in the same boat as llangley, not a lot of room for the vacuum to get around.
It initially got delivered to my nextdoor neighbors; maybe I should give it back to them!
(They must have a LOT of these vacuums - I see in the other Irk threads there are several more there.)
@Kyeh I would have been thrilled to get something as nice whether I could use it or not! Lol
It sure would be a great gift though! 
@Lynnerizer Didn’t you get a robot vacuum several years ago?
And yes, it’s a lot more exciting than hand sanitizer and face masks, etc., like my previous haul.
@Kyeh
It’s the excitement of something so wonderful and it’s even better for me when I get to gift it to someone else! 
Oh yeah I got one several years ago. That’s why I said whether I could use it or not. Lol
Mine came today and I was pretty bummed about my regretful IRK until I just saw what others got! I was coming to say I hope everyone else did better than I did but geez a little perspective goes a long way! From memory I got…
The ugliest medium sized dark green cross body pleather handbag. It will be gifted to my SIL who’s got zero fashion sense and will probably love it!
Size 7 hard plastic sandals that look like Crocs without toes. Gifting to the same SIL because she’s got tiny feet.
*A cushioned turquoise bath mat that would be great for me if it was a neutral color but since it’s not it will be gifted.
*And saving the best for last, just like desert…
A beautiful dark purple IRK bag with gold lettering. Very Christmasy!
I might come back with a picture but don’t hold your breath!
THANKS MEH! I’m sure I’ll be back for another try at a super duper IRK!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND ALL THAT JAZZ!
@Lynnerizer sorry it was less than exciting. Hoping
brings you more exciring presents!!!
@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974
Well at least you got Xmas presents out of it lol… you can have my hand sanitizer, face masks and sun block if you want.
@Star2236 @tinamarie1974
Ha! You’re 100% correct! And thanks anyway, Meh has got me well stocked on Covid leftovers! Until 2029, at least! Lol
Okay, the weakest IRK ever. It’s not an instant regret as I gotta wait to get it then open it. Nonetheless, regret.
Unboxing
@Joedetroit weakest IRK? No I still have that title.
Several years ago: A smashed up box arrived, wet. Far too large for it’s contents and no padding. Barely taped.
Inside two smashed bottles of poo pouri and an IRK bag. Opening it started a migraine that lasted two days and I had to throw the bag away.
There was nothing to keep, nothing to donate just literal pain and suffering. In fairness, it probably contained more but the box being poorly taped, postal workers can have stolen stuff or it fell out.
The only good thing about it was I knew I had hit rock bottom and could only do better from there on out.
@Joedetroit not great, but Ive seen worse. Btw, apple wax melts and meh bracelets, but you likely figured that out by now.
@Joedetroit OMG it’s red. That would e a monster win for me. I love contigo mugs and i’ve never gotten a red one.
@OnionSoup yep, you got me beat. Smashed poo pouri will likely keep you the title for a long time.
@Cerridwyn not a Contigo. It’s some off brand. Okay I went & got it, it’s Primula. It looks like around the same price as a Contigo. We’ve got a lot of Contigo & Yeti cups around here though.
I received a IRK tote and a really nice heated sofa cover in blue …. Didn’t even know they existed. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it is good timing for the cold weather that was delivered with it.
@sck84 Is that your room? Is that a “casting” couch? Put up a picture. Have some pet fur somewhere. Do you actually live in it?
@sck84
I didn’t know those existed either, not with the heat anyway! You’ve got yourself a full body heating pad, for you and AND your pets! THAT’S TERRIFIC!
@KNmeh7 no, not my photo. I have not yet unpacked it
@Lynnerizer My thoughts exactly, although as soon my pups discover it…. I bet I end up on the loveseat because they will definitely lay claim to it and banish me
@Lynnerizer @sck84
I have that exact same couch.
@KNmeh7 @sck84
WHITE carpet!
@KNmeh7 @Kyeh @sck84 If I got that it would be claimed by the cats for sure. They’d likely chase me off of it.
@Lynnerizer @sck84 @Star2236 I have the sofa and that exact room… in a nightmare where the only other piece of furniture is a rickety coffee table I got in a previous IRK and all that is available to drink is black coffee and red wine conveniently placed on said coffee table. Oh, and there’s a dog in the room with a dirty butt and no pet wipes to be found. And the room is infested with Covid and I have only expired no-name “KN95” masks. And all I have to eat are stale strawberry beet sawdust bars. At least there’s a $10 off Meh coupon I found under the sofa cushion.
@ItalianScallion @sck84 @Star2236
With nightmares like that it sounds like you need to detox from Meh for a while, or at least hold off on any more IRKs! Just for a while…
I always check to see what others have received, and tell myself I am going to get the same santizer/sunscreen/etc. bag that keeps popping up. So when that doesn’t happen, good or bad, I consider it not regretful.
Success! The Christmas-colored bag. Tervis triple insulated water bottle that they call a tumbler. Sexy-shaping ass chaps for the lass, that can join the other pair in the attic from a previous IRK. Some headphones that will be gifted or donated. A pair of seemingly comfortable pants that were claimed by my better half. Finally a smart card finding thing that per the offer’s comments, is iOS only, which sucks for me. However, my good shooting buddy forgot his wallet/ID a few visits ago when we went to the range. It will make a useful christmas gift for him and a subtle reminder don’t be a dumbass and cause us an hour-long detour home and back again.
Thanks meh!

@KNmeh7 dat ass tho
@KNmeh7 So we know the answer to one of the traditional Meh questions: “Is it Mac compatible?” But what about the second question: “Is it available in Georgia Red?”
. London Fog bracelet watch (the battery is still good)
. Expired N95 masks (yes, they really do become less effective over time. The paths through the mask are larger than 5 microns, but dust particles tend to stick to new fibers. The stickiness declines as the fibers age, even if properly packaged. Left unwrapped, fibers lose their stickiness much faster.)
. Run Gum (Made with enough taurine to make my wife ill. Includes sweeteners that have caused trouble for me.)
. Rubbermaid food container (actually useful!)
. TV headphones (haven’t tried them yet)
. IRK bag (useful)
The watch has an impressive MSRP. Searching eBay completed listings shows that very few London Fog watches ever sell, despite many on offer. On the web as a whole, they are typically priced at $59.99 or $69.99. The sidedeal listing shows it as sold out, so I don’t know what they were asking before they gave up and threw it in an IRK.
I got a nonfunctioning ihome robot vacuum in a previous IRK. It just needed a new battery! It vacuums the floor when I push its button. The app wanted too much information and permissions, so I don’t use those features.
My IRK was just delivered. I got a green tote
A pair of muk luks slippers
A London Fog watch
A plug in window candle
A set of 2 wireless charging stands
And a tiny bottle of blue agave Sriracha
Finally got to open mine. Have a lot of regret to make up for after receiving a Cuisinart toaster last time.
-7 pack of masks
-Hand sanitizer
-two apple wax melts
-cracked grey tumbler
-purple tumbler
-3xl boxers
-white/blue IRK tote
-Purple/gold IRK tote
More excited about receiving two IRK totes then anything.
@MakingLoops WTH is an apple wax melt?
@ItalianScallion @MakingLoops
https://avamayfair.com/10-reasons-why-wax-melts-are-so-popular/
@Kyeh Thanks. Even that would have improved my Box O’ Crap–I mean, my IRK.
I looked out my window when I heard a truck pull up this afternoon. I saw a FedEx truck parked in front of my driveway so I thought my irk was getting delivered. After several minutes of moving boxes around in the truck he drove farther up the street. No regret after all? Then he came back down and parked out front again. Shortly after I heard a box get dropped off. I just opened the box but I haven’t checked under the scale yet. I don’t think anything is underneath.
Oh, there are things under there. I wish I could wear size S. I like two of the t shirt designs.
@mehla
Oh! A @jasneko kitty shirt! And the others are pretty cool too. Too bad about the size.
@Kyeh @mehla Oh wow, thanks for tagging me! I didn’t realize meh/mediocritee still had shirts and they could show up, that’s so neat!!
@mehla I was going to try the scale but it looks like some work is needed first.
@mehla “… Not legal for trade”
?!
@pakopako
@pakopako ok, had to look it up.
“Why does my scale say not legal for trade?
Therefore, if you have a scale that has a sticker on it that says not legal for trade, then that scale is not designed to be used for commercial weighing purposes.”
@mehla @pakopako Hmm… if it i snot legal for trade I guess that means if you are going to sell yourself (or whomever you weigh) for trade purposes or rental you can’t use weight as a criteria for the sale or rental if you are using this scale. Right?
I must say I was a little nervous when FedEx showed up today. There was mud and wet all over a strangely taped box. But to my complete surprise and also to the extremely “pragmatic” Englishman, it was a brand new robotic floor cleaner! And it’s been charging and works. It’s kind of amazing because we were planning on buying one for the less murdery shed once it’s complete. And thanks to meh, we no longer need to! So MEHrry Christmas indeed!!! Oh also included was a green and red IRK bag!
I also got a rather unexpected IRK that I haven’t even opened yet. Except it’s from one of my best friends and not meh. I send her meh bags occasionally in our back and forth boxes. Just made me laugh and thought it would make you guys giggle too.
@sillyheathen
Small box. Light box. Low expectations.
Turns out to be a decent haul. No killer deal. No total junk. Actually just about right.
Blue Muk Luks women’s size 7 - to friend’s daughter
Hypergear wireless earbuds
N95 Particulate respirators - 20 count, just in time for flight to Seattle
13 Colgate toothbrushes - no need to go to the dentist for free toothbrushes
Ale Villegas Italian made leather purse - to same friend’s daughter
Lime green and red meh bag
Thank you meh.
Put me down for another Tacklife S10 Pro robo-vac and a green bag.
But, I just don’t know, man. Some people got new robo-vacs, and some people got expired hand sanitizer and ungraded basement-factory face masks?
How is that even remotely reasonable?
@ShotgunX Some of us (like me) are assigned the duty of upholding the Regret in Instant Regret Kit, I guess.
@ItalianScallion @ShotgunX Same way any other kind of gambling is “reasonable.”
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh Yeah, but why should it be a gamble in the first place? In the past, everyone got something decent, instead of 90% of people getting utter crap while the remaining 10% winning big-ticket items. The value variance was much lower.
We’re not paying $5 anymore, either. People are straight-up getting less in value than what they paid.
@ItalianScallion @ShotgunX
I think some people would disagree with that.
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh Sure, there were duds too, but overall it was much closer than it is today.
The contents used to be more unique as well. These days it’s like they have a couple of templates that they use, instead of keeping every box relatively unique.
@ItalianScallion @ShotgunX Yeah, well - I bet they had fewer people buying them in the old days too. And they’ve always used them as a way to get rid of excess inventory but now that they have Sidedeal and Morningsave there’s way more of it.
, which made me sad because I could have used one for my elderly mother. Meanwhile others who got fully functional ones were bitching about it.
It’s also interesting how some people’s trash really is someone else’s treasure - I saw one person grumpy about getting a heated couch cover and another quite pleased with it. I once got a totally broken one of these
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh @ShotgunX they’d sell often 1500 of them.
@Kyeh Yeah, they used to sell way more Fukos/IRKs in the past, and that’s when their company was considerably smaller than it is today.
Also, re: the couch cover thing - that’s kind of my point. People might be dissatisfied with the contents, but at least most people actually got items like that that were remotely valuable and usable in some capacity. Today, the majority of people is getting literal garbage like expired hand sanitizer and rock-hard granola bars, while paying 2-4x as much for the privilege compared to before.
Why settle for less value and reduced service? I like Meh, but it’s still a for-profit business, so I’m not going to shy away from criticising it if it starts playing the same “shrinkflation” games that other companies do.
@ShotgunX Okay - but @kidsandliz, you’re one of the ones who’s often posted about the actual garbage you’ve gotten in the “olden days.”
My last one was masks, hand sanitizer, inedible beet toddler snacks and pet wipes, so yeah, I get loser boxes too.
@Kyeh @ShotgunX That’s right I’ve gotten junk in the past too. But I’ve gotten more garbage/loser boxes now than in the past. Yes in the past there has been some literal trash, but usually you also had at least one or two things in the box that were not - even if it wasn’t something you personally wanted. At least it would be something someone would want which means it’s not garbage/trash/only broken and expired things. And in the past, even if I didn’t get them, there was a much higher percentage of boxes that had no literal trash and only good things in there, or one trash item and the rest was good stuff (again it may not have been good stuff I wanted but someone would want it).
@Kidsandliz @ShotgunX Well, as I said - it’s a gamble. Too bad, so sad. Maybe next time buy $20 worth of lottery tickets instead. There’s no “should” about it - they’re 100% honest that you will more than likely be disappointed!
@Kyeh @ShotgunX Haha buying lottery tickets is definitely putting a match to your money. Even getting a decent irk has higher odds than that (although maybe not by much - but still higher
).
In the early years there were far more good fukus and fukos than good irks now. I think that is part of the issue as well, even if someone doesn’t personally get a good one.
@Kidsandliz Well, I would love to see more of the crazy whimsical stuff I’ve read about - giant gumball machines, weird statues, etc. That would be fun.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Box of tiny RAM sticks…
got mine over the weekend:
overall, well worth the $$. and the $10 coupon is a nice bonus.
@carl669 boy that gum is really something… Starts off like powder and uses your saliva to assemble itself into gum form, and then the burning tires flavor kicks in. I can’t imagine why it made it into IRKs.
@djslack i did feel energized in spitting it out as fast as i could once the mint wore off
I got the same robot vacuum and green and red bag as others have reported getting, so scroll up and look at those pics!
Thanks MEH! Awesome!
Got my small and light irk box, but we’re saving it to give to my wife’s brother, who has accused us of not giving “interesting” gifts. So we are rolling the dice that the meh gods provided some “interest” in the brown cube of regerts.
@beachhead
“Interesting” covers a lot of territory! 
@Kyeh That it does!! I trust in Meh to provide plenty of regret for him!
@beachhead Yes, he’ll regret complaining about your previous gifts, probably!
@beachhead May I recommend wearing a suit of armor when you give it to him. Either that or gingerly hand it over being prepared to run as fast as you can a few minutes later.
OK, thought I’d update how this turned out. The never satisfied BIL remains unsatisfied, since he ended up cancelling. Which left us with regrets of course. But we made new regrets and played a game with the now “extra” present. (can an IRK ever be considered “extra”?)
The 15 of us drew cards, with the lowest draw winning. Of course we had a tie, and a draw off, as a box of regret is a hard thing to take apparently. In the draw off, fate chose our son to be the recipient of the prize. No pics of the stuff, and it’s now hundreds of miles away, but here’s what was in it:
1 canvas-like barbecue cover (son kept that)
1 “game box”, gameboy clone (grandson #1 wanted that so bad, so he grabbed it out of dad’s hands)
1 functional watch of some sort (grandson #3 is fascinated with watches, and grabbed that)
1 likely returned PTZ security camera (grandson #2 happy to grab that)
1 tube of face cleaner that didn’t find a human home
1 green/red Meh bag (DIL kept that)
The meh gods smiled greatly with this one, as five unsuspecting people got to experience the unexpected meh of regret. Thank you meh, you may induce regert, but you never disappoint, and many laughs were shared! This was a very enjoyable way to share the joy, and I highly recommend it for others in the future.
@beachhead Sounds better this way! Much more fun.
How unlike Meh to include the Christmas colored bag in the Christmas IRK. I thought that was why I got it in September.
Here’s my IRK:
Opened, Expired Things:
Opened, Non-Perishable Thing:
Unopened Things:
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Meh!
Got my Irk and its meh but fun nonetheless. It was an Atomi smart Smart wifi LED wall sconce lights a 2 pack definitely an open or used item/return with my red and a green IRK bag and im missing my 10 dollar coupon so meh.
@ef777 You probably missed the e-mail. The coupon code is universal HOHOIRK. Meh knows you ordered so it will work once next year.
@KNmeh7 thanks ill have a look in my email.
Got a cuisinart food processor blender and juicer combo. The box was beat up, but it looks brand new and runs great! What a great Christmas gift, something I’ll use a bunch. Thanks Meh!
@joshf WOW!
Very meh. Nothing I would have been buying, and it looks like nothing of much quality
Oh well, sometimes you win,.
Received mine. Forgot to take a picture.
2 Packs of Wipe Right pet butt wipes
4 tubes of sunscreen
1 box of N95 masks
1 Unicorn pool float
Full of Christmas regret. Thanks, Meh! Always fun.
I got the Tack Life vacuum and the Green IRK bag. I am thrilled. This is the best IRK I have received in a while. I found the app for the vacuum on APKPure (thanks to Reddit) and my floors have never been so clean!
why why why why why why why why why why why do I continue to order. I got the same stuff as the last time.expired santizer and masks BUT with M boxers and a Tervis for added spice. With a side of anitcipation as my package was out for delivery 3 days in a row. Regret acheived. Well played Meh, well played
I’ve exercised some self control with the past few mehrathons and instead of IR, I’ve suffered from FOMO. Not this time, I told myself. It’s time to put aside FOMO and rediscover the instant regret only an IRK can bring. It did NOT disappoint. Mehrry Christmas to me.
Merry Christmas, meh! Like so many others. My IRK was a red and green bag shoved inside of a Tacklife S10 Robot Vacuum. It appears to be New In Box. I don’t have any complaints about this one. Thanks, meh!
Ok… I didn’t get a robot vacuum but still enjoyed opening everything and it will all be used.
Green Bag.
Lots of masks … like 5 or 6 boxes
Granola bars that expired yesterday so still probably ok.
2 pet rollers… Very usefull in our household.
So no big item… But I think definitely $10 worth there so I’m happy and will roll again.
Thank you Meh.
/showme Thank You for all the Trash
I got a red and green irk bag and the robo vac
I got it yesterday and put it under the tree to open on Christmas. It wasn’t much of a surprise since it shipped in the tacklife box.
Damn, what I would give for a set of sheets in my Irk. Even microfiber. I could at least give them away. I got a box of expired crap. Not one, but two tubes of expired sunscreen. A box of expired hand sanitizer gel. A box of expired n95 masks. A package of expired pet wipes, for a dog I don’t own. Some sort of Members Only pants in a size unusable by a normal human. And an Irk bag. I looked to see if it was expired, too. I think I am done with the Irks.
@yeld At least you didn’t get two boxes of expired strawberry beet sawdust bars.
hmmm… Mine is still processing.
@arbdef Happy New Year Irk
@OnionSoup maybe they are trying to Irk me off
We received our IRK last Saturday while we were making a new-to-us dish for dinner - that same night we also received food poisoning.
My husband was sick within a few hours and better by Tuesday. I took an extra 12 hours to get sick - thanks[?] to my super slow digestion - and an extra three days to get [mostly] better - no-thanks to my super lousy immune system [honestly, it was bad enough that I should have gone to urgent care/E.R., but I took my chances at home in lieu of: 1. catching something else; 2. vomiting on/crapping myself in public; and 3. being forced to have/hear endless conversations about “being sick for the holidays”].
SO, we didn’t die, and just got around to opening the box. It’s one of the Tacklife robo vacuums, with a green and red IRK bag.
I know some others are happy with theirs, but I’ve literally never wanted one of these things, since it’s bad enough discovering covert puddles/piles of various pet offerings when they’re not smeared all over the room by a robot.
I do suppose the potential for mess is greatly reduced now that our only remaining pet is a senior cat who has way less frequent hairballs than she used to, since she barely bathes herself anymore.
But when we still had dogs - especially one who might vomit if he simply thought I was leaving the house, and would rather potty anywhere inside said house than on even slightly wet ground - absolutely zero chance we would have kept this. 
️
I can’t think of anyone I would want to gift this to who has the appropriate floor space and/or does not have small children [i.e. leavers of their own puddles/piles, in addition to small toys], so I suppose we could keep it.
I didn’t take a pic:
2 pair medium underwear
1 travel mug, white (no handle, very plain)
3 pack of off-white acrylic paint
Lotion/soap combo pack, not a known brand, but it’s not bad
Hand sanitizer
Value is pretty low, but the utility is higher than normal. I’ll probably donate the underwear and mug, but I have use for the rest. And the bag was a nice purple with foil graphic. Overall, a nice experience.
1 new in unopened box and doesn’t work tacklife robo vac. Unfortunately it doesn’t work but meh wouldn’t have known that since the box hasn’t been opened.
! green with red irk bag.
Thanks meh for at least trying.
3 or 4 bottles of sunscreen
Those beet fiber bars
Expired masks
More expired masks
Wait, more expired masks
Pet hair roller
Irk bag
*annoyed wife. (Not included but inclusive)
I’m working on cleaning up and found the irk I forgot to post. Oops.
Sharper image neck massager with heat, I like this.
Those fans to chase away flies but I use them to keep my dog away from people food. Nice.
Hoodie, always useful.
Caffeine gum. Just no.
Seizure inducing bag.
/giphy thanks
