Man Nearly Died by Shipping Himself to Girlfriend (As a Romantic Gesture)
AsiaOne ^ | Tuesday, Sep 04, 2012

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.

Isn’t that kind of like hiding behind the tiger because you think the lion is hungry?

“Voting republican because the democrats are pro big government. “


Yep. Same thing.

Yes, or so we hope.

My 21 yo son lost a good friend in accident early Sunday. Too young. So sad.

Dogs, oddly enough, won’t try to drink my coffee.
I don’t know why.

Salamander, horribly brewed coffee that is strong and sweet, any experience with dogs trying to drink the stuff?

I’m very sorry about your son’s friend. I have three young drivers, myself, so I’m constantly anxious.

Three at a time? You have painted yourself into a corner, haven't you?

Please let me know when it's Vlad's turn; I may want to move the house a little further from the road.

When I was in my car accident, I know my mother felt awful. But I didn’t know HOW awful until my own son was in an accident.

Ironically, we had almost the same injuries.

I don't allow my dogs to have coffee.

You have earned a Disapproving Dobermann Stare®, along with Altariel.

Actually, that looks more like a “Patiently waiting for the ball to be thrown” stare.
