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.
Fluffy’s the orator of the family. He says, “Wow,” “Ooooh,” “Hello,” and once we’d swear that he said, “I don’t know.” Ninja said “Mommy” once. We accused Squeak of having a Labrador deceiver as a boyfriend and she yowled a big long “Noooooooo!” She likes canteloupe and yelled, “Melon!” once. Maybe we ought to get out more?
Good to see you too SG!
Did I tell you I bought a defective pressure canner?
I really want one of those All American ones. (Or what ever they are called.)
Pressure canners are not to be messed with. If you have any suspicion about its functioning, relegate it to jelly-making only.
Pressure means pressure, with boiling water. Take no chances.
And get a canner big enough to be efficient for your needs. My friend put everything up in pints. If you want to use quarts, consider how many you’ll be processing at a time.
That will tell you what size container to use. Get a sturdy one. Either way, it will last a lifetime, but a cheap one could mean a short life.
My bobcat domestic mix liked Rice Krispies.
I had to put sugar on it to keep her from eating it.
Otherwise, I’d hear “Crunch crunch crunh crunch, Murrrr?” and find an empty bowl.
We were reading off the call ID one night when an unknown number popped up.
Upon hearing that it was yet another unknown number, it appeared that Shadow cat, in complete disgust with human phone technology, yowled something that sounded like “Unknooooown!”
[Same week, it sounded like he had a crisis of identity. He wandered the house making sounds that were similar to “I’m Shadow! I’m Shadow! Augh! Augh! ARGH!!”*]
*Imagine kitty barbarian shouting his name as a challenge.. you get the picture.
We’d bust on him by telling him, “We know you can speak. We’ve heard you.” to which he’d respond with a rather feline “Meow?”
He’d do this noise hat sounded like a chuckle when we played with him.
He loved string or straws wiggled under doors.
Weird cat, I miss him.
I have always been suspicious of lifetime warranties. Isn’t that saying that they will honor the warrant as long as the devices works? And then it’s lifetime is up.
One more thing: when Fluffy sat in the windshield of our vehicle, he’d see something he liked and yell “Yoo hoo!”
You are a total peach! Soooo good to see you! What’s new?
Yes! They have no rubber seals and wonderfully powerful looking lockdown thingies! We have one but haven’t used it yet because our pressure cooker works well.
Good luck and Godspeed!
I think that limited warranties are the things we have to be wary of (sorry). Can’t address the lifetime jazz since I haven’t reached the end of mine yet.
I often think I’m OCD when it comes to organization. Even if it LOOKS like a mess, do NOT touch it! I know exactly what’s in it and where, and if it’s gone through, I will know as soon as I look at it. LOL!
There isn’t enough room in this place for me to be as organized as I want to be, so I’m not only depressed by the lack of usable square footage, but the lack of storage space as well.
