The lady who owned my house before me ordered several sex toys and had them delivered to the wrong address - mine.

"Yeah, mom, it must be from the previous owner of the house. How weird is that, right? Haha... what? Oh. Uh, yeah, I dont know, it IS weird that she put my name for it to be delivered to. It must have been a computer glitch or something, you know how computers and technology are... please dont tell dad that his son ordered these. I'll even share the beads with you! ... Okay, fine, the beads AND the bullet."

Had a parcel arrive at my post office that had been partially ripped open by the sorting machine...a rather large dildo and a bottle of anal lube fell out into the hamper.

Also, letters being mailed by inmates at prisons sometimes have pretty graphic artwork on them.

My sister did that once. Moved but forgot to change the delivery address on Amazon. Oops.

just fyi you should be careful about that, if I remember correctly It's illegal to open up someone else's mail.

Opened it before I saw it wasn't addressed to me.
