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.
What.
New home. Silly ‘Face took the afternoon off to sleep, so I’m probably going to be confused for a while.
Life is strange, eh?
Life is strange. Undead Life is stranger. Darksheare’s life (or at least his fictional life ;-) is, perhaps, strangest.
Whew! Made it!
Brought my duct tape, my towel, a fresh pint of bitters, and some reading material.
I think, somewhere, I have most of their albums.
Good music to get lost in.
Made it through the looking glass....
I was so late, I didn’t bake the chocolate chip cookies, and now, the hot cocoa needs to be laced with rum. Or Khalua.
” The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

This guy needs a personal planner, and a possible brain transplant.
“Darksheare Strangelet.” Hmmm. Has a nice ring to it, dontchathink?
I recall you were studying physics, DC! I liked the part about it’s being hypothetical ... rather as if Darksheare exists if we all believe he does, but if we lose faith ...
Death: “Thinking Machine, do you believe in the Hog Father?”
Heh, our kids watched that on Netflix streaming. The design aesthetic was way cool.
The pay is lower then what I made any time in the past ten years, it is boring work, and it is only for a couple months but it is a JOB!
For this blessing we are truly thankful

Hysterical!
Hi! Work for pay is good, as I keep telling the teens. “I want a job that ...”. “You want a job with PAY!”
Nothing like being underpaid to give you job security.
Boring work allows you to let your creative juices flow subconsciously, assuming you have an outlet for creative juices.
Otherwise ... yep, you'll explode. Very messy.
Tha's why I write. "You wouldn't like me when my creative impulses are stymied."
And don't forget that one of the benefits of working is that it gives you less time to spend money.
She said "what are you looking for from this job?"
I answered, "A mortgage payment."
Don't know if that was what she was looking for but she contracted me. I just had gotten so tired of playing the interview game. I think I will just try blunt honesty for a while.
It can't hurt. Of course the fact that we had worked at the same company in the past didn't hurt either.
