A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.
Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.
However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.
The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.
The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.
When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.
However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.
Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.
He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."
The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.
The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.
morning nully; hope you have a great day and week!
Ai-yi-yi!
I LOL’d at that one, for sure!
Thanks nic, good to see you!
Of course it does!
Derlly, where are you?
Prayers up!
I hear you. We have a house that we couldn’t sell when we moved to TN, and lost the tenants. Sank $3,100 into it last month plus property mgmt fees, utilities, etc. Do you do the work yourself? We did in 2011, but not willing to travel at this time to do it again,
Keep us posted!
Good morning! What’s on the agenda today?
Snake Kitty was very cute, too!
Yeah, but we're going to hold off installing one until he needs it. He's got a new pair of braces that enable him to walk a decent distance with just a single cane for the first time in several years.
When the time comes, we'll likely go with a Hawle stair lift, though. Their products look far less, uh, "institutional" than most others out there; they offer more options for custom materials, colors, and finishes.
Y’oughta be made ta walk the Planck over that one. ;-)
There was fishing and sitting around. Then we drove home, rattled Bill’s cage, picked up a few things, and gave Kathleen a bath. Then we went to church for classes, Scout meetings, and choir. My 3rd grade class will have 12 students, at most, a manageable number.
That’s an awesome LOL-Cat pic, and brightened my day. Thanks much!
Third grade home-school classes, church classes, Scouts, or choir? (Please excuse—easily confused.)
I’d give kitteh the $, no questions asked.
3rd grade church class. Tiger Cubs are first grade; there were 5 of them last night.
I’m waiting for Nully to come in with a truly funny pic...even if it’s a red X.
