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.
I didn’t realize Lightning kitteh was in that bunch until I saw the lion bedspread. My sunshine is now famous. Thank you!
Lolz! That wasn’t our kitteh.
That’s got to be rough without a vehicle.
My vehicle is seven-plus-years old. It only has 30,000 miles on it. Oh, it’s a Ford Exployer. I had to have a large car for my big dogs (rip). It’s also been to Washington,D.C. once, and Southern Cal. about five times. I don’t drive much, ya think?
Noooooo. The bedspread is the same as the cat’s room.
I had a little Toyota pickup, and when I got it, it had 260,000+ miles on it. My “mechanic” broke it two years ago, and he will only give me $400 for it. In the six years I had my truck I put almost 40,000 miles on it. ;o]
My credit is so bad, no one will loan me $1200 so I can get another vehicle. So I walk to Wally World (downhill, a mile) and take the bus home, since it only goes one way around town. But packing groceries in a backpack while lugging grocery bags in each hand to and from the bus stops is not my idea of a fun shopping trip.

We had a cat that would eat or drink stuff because you told it, “Cats don’t eat/drink that.”
So she’d give you this insulted look and promptly do exactly what you told her she didn’t do.
Ouch!!
My problem is I can’t find my way out of a paper bag. Been a problem all my life.
In later years after being an official court reporter for 20 some years, I developed nerve damage in my hands and arms. Have great private insurance. Problem is is the nerve damage has spread. Have no bone problems.
Odd, isn’t it, how we all seem to adapt to those things that happen to us? And would any of us trade ours for “theirs?” I doubt it!
For the most part my problems are nuisances to be dealt with. Still, I would benefit greatly by not damaging my joints any more than necessary! LOL!
Cats are the silliest animals in the world! Before Cyber I always had big dogs. His cat, Simba, snuck out the doggie door one night. I woke up to a chirping sound. Simba used the doggie door and was laying on a bird. I got two plastic bags and brought the bird outside. It was alive. Simba did not know how to kill the bird!
Cats are easier. You can leave them for a week with enough food and water and extra poop holders. Have to have some one come in twice a day with dogs.
Because Mr. Fuzzy Idiot [A.K.A. “Tristan” cat] saw me sleeping with my head on the pillow, he thinks HE has to sleep with his head on a pillow.
Guess whose pillow he wants?
We have five kittehs who keep me laughing all day. I consider them manna from heavy. I could not handle a large dog. All these kittehs came to our door: one on her own; twins; and one older brother and his younger sister.
Heavy should be heaven. DUH!
I have such a small apartment that to have any pet other than a bird would be considered cruel and unusual punishment and abusive, at best. At worst? Criminal!
LOL! When Cyber leaves for work the eldest kitteh, Shadow, takes his pillow and kneads it, then goes to the bottom of the bed and guards it. Sometimes his guarding doesn’t work!
My sis had a cat named Shadow.
Shadow made rather articulate sounds, sounded like he said “mommy”, “no”, “Oh no”, “Oh wow”, and “hello”.
He freaked the eldest of the three of us out one night doing that.
Was pretty funny.
Sis’ Shadow would do something we called the “Ape Face” when he was upset, he’d puff his mouth and cheeks up and then glower.
Wonderful!
Thanks Cyber Liberty. For a moment thought had arrived at the wrong thread. Hi everyone. Being a prepper is not being a pepper. Dr. Prepper for everyone! Does everyone have their ninety day supply of popcorn? Dang, wish I had not buried mine. It sprouted little green things in a big heap. Greenest part of the lawn though. Now all I have to do is lay in wait, for the deer will be here shortly. No popcorn but plenty of deer meat. I'm gonna miss having popcorn. Duh ... next time I will not bury the popcorn. Those deer have been mean around here lately. They have started shooting back.
The only justification you need to get an aluminum wallet is a desire to get organized. I have one and if you put too much in it, the hinges come apart. (Addendum: I stick it in the back pocket of my jeans so I don’t lose stuff—not even remotely tempted to reorganize. After all, I might remember to use that validation number for a free white chocolate macadamia cookie that I earned by answering some survey questions, and no I don’t get junk email from Subway heh.)
Happy Birthday, the day before. Happy Birthday, the day before. Happy Birthday, the day before. Happy Birthday, may you have many more. Happy Birthday, LibreOuMort!
Tigger eats beef, cheese and bean chimichangas. All four of ours like refritos.
