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.
A Nap Attack would be absolutely lovely!
Kittehs would make it good, but goggies would make it much better!
Thanks, Idaho, for the update...talk about a front row seat for the equipment.
How is Fredd handling the noise?

And comfortably positioned.
Good morning, Peeps!
The weather is going to be pleasantly boring for the next week or two: highs in the mid-90s and lows in the high 60s. Thanks, Bob!
Morning, Morning, Morning, Afternoon, Afternoon, Afternoon, Evening, Evening, Evening to both of you and everyone who will join the thread in the AM and PM. Whew, hope that covers it. Repeat, Rinse, Repeat, Rinse, Repeat, Rinse.
LOL!
Glad to have you here!
Thank You. Glad you and everyone is here. If this place was not interesting, what is?
On a fantabulistically unrelated note, my Ghost (Jolokia) Pepper plant has begun yielding ripened fruit aplenty. I gave away a single specimen a few days ago, and the recipient made mention to me today that, since they hadn't heeded my warnings regarding the extreme capsicum content prior to their preparing a batch of burritos for dinner with it, their entire family is still suffering from a severe case of "lava tube syndrome."
Almost as satisfying as a cup of high-grade coughee.
LOL!
I’ve heard of “Rocky Mountain Two-Step,” and a few others not quite so descriptive, but “lava-tube sybdrome” is hilarious! (Not to the owner, of course....)
We’re all going to have standing water problems from all the rinsing.
The standing water is no longer in my sink, and I got blamed for the clog because of a “leak” in the Pur filter on the faucet. I guess the guy thought I ran water in the sink 24/7 but the most I run it is to fill ice cube trays.
Ticked me off. AND they made a mess of my floor. I’m really glad I hadn’t just mopped it.
Twins of different Mothers, I am sure. Always thought that about you.

Hey Darks! Since Monday is the First (and the start of the FReepathon), do we need to start lurking for some good threads to infect?
