“Be Careful What You Wish For”: The Way Cards Against Humanity Responded To This Girl’s Complaint Is Hilarious
June was pride month and to celebrate this ‘Cards Against Humanity’ brought out a special edition ‘Pride Pack,’ with the option of glitter added. Unfortunately when Kait Johnson went to order her glitter bomb pride pack, it was unavailable. Cards Against Humanity had run out of glitter.
“I play cards against humanity all the time I love it so much,” Kait told Bored Panda. “My friends and I all have sick senses of humor so it’s always a fun time!”
They really wanted that glitter, so what to do? Email the company and get it, obviously. So that’s just what Kait did, and to their credit, Cards Against Humanity responded, being the kickass customer service company that they’ve become known for. However, the response still left Kait lacking in sparkle. So she upped the stakes. How would they respond this time? “I honestly didn’t expect a response, let alone a box of glitter,” she told us. And what is she going to do with all that glitter now? “I’m actually trying to look for a school that might need extra glitter for their art class.”
Not to burst your bubble but glitter has come under scrutiny lately for its environmental impact, it is a microplastic that can eventually find its way into oceans and the creatures that live there. Most glitter is made of aluminium and a plastic called PET, which can disrupt hormones in the bodies of animals and humans when broken down. Some are even calling for it to be banned completely, although some more environmentally friendly alternatives do exist. So if you do choose to use glitter, use it responsibly!
Scroll down below to check out how Kait’s story unfolded for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!
This woman wanted to get glitter with her ‘pride pack’ but they ran out
So she decided to email Cards Against Humanity
“Should I be afraid?”
“CAH responded. Their response turned my anxiety dial to 10”
“It came in today. Small white envelope hummm…..”
“Tiny amount of glitter and they admit they f**ked up. Not gonna lie I’m kinda disappointed”
But this wasn’t the end
“So my girlfriend got this in the mail today. From CAH????”
“She’s a little thick on the sides”
“Trolled again, just a grey plastic sleeve filled with more glitter and a card”
“So after some small packages reddit user u/cd247 suggested my girlfriend send this to CAH”
“So she did this was the reply they sent back. Now I’m terrified”
“We walk up to the house saying, what the hell is that?”
“Hhuummmmm I see glitter and a big box”
“I wonder why they left the mail Box?”
“If you find glitter on your packages I’m so not sorry”
“That’s box was filled with glitter, weight about 5LBs. But no spring trap, or trap of any kind”
“Seen the Mail Lady down the street and she said keep the box, they don’t want it back”
The final emails of defeat
Here’s how people responded

Share on FacebookI HATE glitter! However I do like this story. I love when a company get playful with customers.
Warning: Glitter is evil. It is behind many broken relationships. No glitter is innocent, humans are still trying to discover the Glitter species which are simple minded. It sticks where it shouldn't, it is found at places where it shouldn't, its omnipresent. If you find glitter on your clothes, only way to escape from it is to burn the clothe. I pray everyday to save humanity from Glitter.
Load More Replies...I can see the face of the mail lady when she said she doesnt want the box back.
I think it's horrible the amount of glitter that is going to end up in the ocean because of this. Glitter does not biodegrade so it floats in the ocean. It's shiny appearance makes it attractive to all forms of sea life which die from consuming it. This s**t load of glitter should kill plenty of sea life. Congrats CAH! SMH
Glitter is litter! It's literally against humanity, animals, clean water and everything else one might cherish! Disgusting!
Nice story, just for the fun of it. But even 5 year olds are aware these days that glitter is an enemy of our planet. Maybe next year they will think of something else colourful instead...flour bombs or something more organic? Plastic s**t is bad however festive it looks. Don't bother sending me a hate-reply. I'm just stating a fact and suggesting someone in the business will come up with an equally fun alternative. It's a business opportunity if your customers are over 5 year olds. Just sayin'
I erad the first three paragraphs and was writhing with angst about the plastic pollution issue, so I was mightily relieved to find that the author had commented explicitly on this subject. Now I can sleep in peace, despite the evil perpetrated by Cards Against Humanity!
Cards Against Humanity should do consultant work for the entire customer service industry.
"A unicorn commited jihad" made me laugh harder than appropriate. I mean, just the mental image alone.
I once made a school project and added a little glitter, not even a lot, just to add some flair. I don't even know how so much managed to get everywhere! It was in my locker, my binders, on me and some even ended up on my dog
Hope it was biodegradable glitter though, this was more cringe worthy then funny to me. Glitter is one of the worst microplastic pollution that exist cause you can't get rid of it. If you just throw it down the drain animals will end up eating it.. etc etc etc. :(
The way how many times did you changed the title despite the obvious clickfarm upvotes is terrifying.
I bet the mail deliverer's spouse was suspicious when they came home covered in glitter!
It's tediously long and I don't get what the funny side was at the end. She got the box, saw it was glitter, opened it and that's it. Is this a climax to the story?
I tried this with the bank.........they did not send way too much money :(
I made a Mother's Day card in class in 5th grade. I still find that stuff every now and again, btw this was like 10years ago. Glitter is evil, parasitic. It feeds off of your desire to get rid of it. Once you even see glitter, best believe it has marked you for life.
One gram of this stuff is enough to breed a glitter population fit to smother Washington DC. Unlike tribbles glitter reproduces exponentially, whether you feed it or not.
My daughter sent me a Father's Day card this year that included a bunch of small gold hearts (about .5cm[⅜"]). I was sitting on my bed when I opened it and spilled a bunch of them in my bedding and on the floor. I gathered most of them, the ones I could see at any rate. But over the ensuing weeks I have seen how many I missed as they spread all over not just my apartment but the building as well. I do the clean-up and though I have swept and vacuumed I've left them as a pleasant reminder.
Hey Everyone do you know glitter is eaten by fish which makes them feel full and then they starve to death? Please ban glitter from use. Please stop buying anything with glitter in it. Will you do this for the fishes?
I don't blame the girl for not knowing that glitter is really, honestly something that needs to stop being produced. It is really harmful for marine life, which is getting to the point we can't eat ANY of it safely anymore, and the poisoning of the marine life eventually makes its way up the food chain to us even if we don't eat it directly. I DO blame Cards Against Humanity. I guess they really are against humanity if they are sending out glitter in this day and age.
Adorable but google how awful glitter is for the environment and oceans in particular. It stays FOREVER. I was shocked- I'm not being extra
The planet is drowning in plastic. But hey, at least glitter makes it more pretty, right?
Got to love "craft herpes" (biodegradable or edible) the gift that keeps on giving
