We've all seen the expectation vs. reality photos of online shopping for clothes gone wrong – pants arrive with eight-foot-long legs and Sarah Shevon Archivesdresses look completely different than they did in the photos.
And now, the #fail of a trend is making its way into the Christmas tree market.
Zoe McAllister of Glasgow shared a photo of the artificial Christmas tree she bought without peeking inside the box first – and it looked very different than she was expecting.

"I got the tree from my local Argos store," McAllister wrote to Mashable.
"I messaged them a few times on Facebook and then they just said to return it. They returned it with no issues however they did mention a few have been faulty," she said.
But McAllister has no hard feelings – she wound up saving money on a tree this year.
"My brother gave me his old tree as he's just got a new one," she told Mashable.
Hopefully the Christmas presents McAllister receives this year are in better shape than the faulty tree.
