Linda thought she was ordering a small bundle of pool noodles for the grandchildren. Instead, a box almost as tall as her hallway table arrived at the door. When she opened it, the bright foam tubes just seemed endless. She checked the order twice, certain there had been a mistake, then realized the mistake was hers. She had clicked the larger bundle without noticing!
Her first plan was simple: place a return order. But the box was awkward, the return label stayed on the kitchen counter, and a busy week quickly became two. By the time Linda finally logged in to arrange the return, the deadline had passed. She now owned far more pool noodles than any one household could reasonably need. For several days, the box simply sat there, taking up space and making her annoyed every time she walked past it.
Then curiosity got the better of her. The foam was light, flexible, easy to cut, and hollow inside. Linda started experimenting. A little trimming here, a little measuring there, and the oversized order slowly stopped feeling like such a bad purchase. By the end of the week, she was no longer asking how to get rid of them. Find out what Linda did with them...
