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.
Perhaps there was a Primitive Baptist connection somewhere.
Cozy ride.
Look, if a washing machine was aggressive toward you, why would you doubt that a box would snarl?
Washers are aggressive by nature, like Rottweilers. Boxes ... you have to consider each one individually.
She is sooooo darling! Thanks for the pic!
Thanks ... link to more at 411. Most are labelled now, and you can tell who that baby is, anyway. The old guy with the guitar is my husband ;-).
And the man with a gabardine suit is a spy.
So the prevailing sentiment is to send the washer back and keep the box?
He has a suit, but it is not gabardine. He has a mariachi outfit, too.
Stuff the guy in the gabardine suit in the box, please.
Thanks! Have I told you how much I adore family photo albums?
I got that idea somewhere ;-).
I think I included all the family members who were present, although of course the slender and elusive Bill was at home serving the animal kingdom (and going to class, I hope).
Anoreth is due later this week, with Piper the high-class husky. I’m told Piper likes other dogs ... we’ll see what Ash thinks.
We need a washer. They’re like copy machines ... you have to pay them compliments and give them pats.
Pats?
Affectionate physical contact.
12, 49, 69 and 93 are my faves (I think—perhaps I’ve screwed up the numbers)!
Prayers up that Piper’s absolutely delighted w/Ash. I’m nodding out. Good night and sweet dreams, y’all....
The pictures aren’t numbered on my view. We’re all hoping for a happy dog-meeting, and it’s goodnight, here, too.
Be careful his bow-tie is really a camera.
