Woman buys a frame in the wrong size, then realizes she made the same mistake with the poster. But the moral of her story is sending everyone out
She’s just effortlessly funny.
Online shopping is a game of measurements that most of us are losing. But Belgian creator Shauna Dewit (TikTok/@shaunadewit) just took the L to a new size.
In a video that has garnered over 173,000 views, Shauna documented the hilarious fallout of a double-ordering disaster. But that disaster turned her living room into an accidental art gallery. Yet, her end note is what really left everyone speechless.
Shana forgot to look at the size when ordering a poster frame
Shauna’s home decor journey hit a snag when her new picture frame arrived. While she intended to buy a standard 70×50 cm frame, she mistakenly ordered one measuring a whopping 100×150 cm.
Standing next to the colossal object leaning against her wall, Shauna could only laugh in disbelief at the scale. “What the fok. I can say that I got framed!” she joked, her hysterics capturing the relatable pain of clicking ‘order’ without double-checking the specs.
She made the same mistake twice, leading to a ‘perfect’ result
In a stroke of chaotic luck, Shauna revealed that she had made the exact same sizing error again. This time, when purchasing the poster to go inside the frame. Struggling to heft a massive cardboard shipping tube, she admitted it was the first time she was “glad that I made the same mistake twice.”
Now, both the frame and the artwork were identically oversized at 100×150 cm. So, the items were perfectly compatible despite being twice the size she actually wanted. Shauna then ended up with a massive but perfectly framed poster on her wall.
The creator’s suggestive ‘moral’ is fueling the viral reaction
At the end of her video, Shauna revealed the final result. It was a massive orange “Yuzu” poster hung perfectly on a previously empty wall. Then, she offered a concluding thought that immediately went off the rails.
“So the moral of the story is, even if it’s too big, you can make it fit,” she declared. The creator immediately burst into laughter, realizing the suggestive double-entendre of her words before frantically trying to take them back.
How to avoid a ‘100×150’ disaster of your own
If you aren’t looking to accidentally “make it fit” like Shauna, you can use some measuring hacks. To begin with, the painter’s tape trick always works. Before ordering, use blue painter’s tape to outline the dimensions (like 70×50 vs. 100×150) on your wall. This gives you a physical sense of the scale that a website description can’t provide.
Many international sites use centimeters while US-based shoppers think in inches. Always use a converter to ensure that “100 cm” (3.2 feet) is actually what you want for your hallway.
In case you’ve already made an error, you can still save yourself. If a “poster” arrives in a tube that is taller than your waist, do not open the frame. Verify the return policy, or you may refuse delivery if possible. But as Shauna proved, if you mess up the size, sometimes the best move is to just lean into the “statement” look and find a bigger wall.
Don’t let the size stop you… because bigger the art, bigger the laughs
Shauna masterfully turned a shopping fail into a viral win. While her wall is now significantly more crowded, she walked away with a perfectly fitted masterpiece. And not to forget the “moral” that her followers won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
We hope she has since bought a tape measure before ordering her next decor. Until then, keep your orders small and your morals… well, maybe just stick to the art.
