Old fella in my local cycling club went to a second-hand shop to buy a bike and returned home with a piano instead.

I once went to the shops for some dog food and came out with three bottles of Coke, a packet of Oreos, and a bag of Doritos Sweet Chili Heat crisps... The dogs? They weren't the least bit happy to see me.
