This reminds me of my time as a part time grocery order writer for a regional store chain, where I ordered "30" bags of Water Softener Salt, not realizing they were pallet quantities of 30, so they delivered a full truck of 80lb bags of Salt. I still couldn't believe someone didn't question this order as they were loading the truck.

Fun times.

I worked at a hardware store where someone ordered 99 full size tub surrounds instead of 9. It was something like two semi trailers full. No one stopped it. They did a fire sale on them, but ended up destroying about 20 because they had sustained damage from being moved around so much due to lack of storage.

My buddy did that with 24 packs of water. He ordered 5, thinking they were cases, when they were pallets. He was new to ordering, so they weren't too mad at him, but the water was Deer Park, which is on the expensive side.
