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.
Excellent!
I woke up with a bad coughee this morning. I blame my roommate's strep throat.
Shouldn't have let him breathe in the house, dammit.
Meh. Letter from the Alderman, even though he’s a Rat, not goofy enough. I saw one about a guy busted for DUI on a horse...whenever I see threads like that I always glance at the calendar to see if it’s getting close to the First of the month.
Maybe. True, it deals with true goofiness, but we’ve come to expect that from the Amish community when it comes to all things Obama, so it’s borderline.
Didn’t mean to create a water problem. Okay, I’ll get the mop and bucket and clean it up. Dang, my post. That’ll teach me!
You should know better by now. Next time tell 'im to take it outside.
Tax-chick emailed me to say her IE and Firefox were not doing well, but that as soon as she can get a good connection, she will be back with us.
Thx!
Concur.
I don’t get the connection between a leak in the Pur filter and a clog or standing water. Don’t you turn the water on and off with the little knobby thing which is distant from the faucet and the filter? Has your Pur filter morphed into AI which turns itself on and off? Did someone DarkFAX you a manifestation which superficially resembles a Pur filter. I’ve been listening to a Dean Koontz book involving alien invasion, but your Pur filter is creeping me out a lot more than the book.
:)
That idjit doesn't know from Shineola. It's just a friggin' filter. Did he at least fix the problem? Is he worth anything at all?
There are people still using IE? Who knew?
I’ve gotta drive to Tokyo here in about 1/2 an hour. Talk about scary! I’d almost rather drive IE for a day without any AV protection. ;)
I guess the dork figured I was over 62, a female and living alone, so that automatically makes me stupid. He is so far into the ozone layer as to be an air head. I should have blown in his ear and given him a refill.
The only time the leak (spray) was evident is if the water was on full force, and I seldom turn it on that high.
Since both sinks were affected, I’m sure it was just years of built up gunk that was dislodged when I used the baking soda, vinegar and plunger on it. *sheesh*
He fixed it, but as I said to SG, I think it was just years of gunk. I doubt if any tenant before me ever tried to keep the drains free, so I get the blame for the repair. HAH! The plumbing is almost 50 years old.
I WILL talk to the maintenance manager when I see him again. He knows me, and respects me for the knowledge I have garnered, of course, from being a military wife and having to learn how to DIY.
Disgusting.
Going to bed, now! Later, all!
Be safe!
Meh, so you get blamed. So long as you don’t get charged for it.
Thanks TC.
I know what you mean, although I think I worry more now that the kids have moved out. When they lived with us, I knew what they were doing, and when to expect them. Now I hear traffic reports, and have no idea what their schedules are, or where they might be. Add paranoia, and stir, lol.
Face, I'm just happy you and your son both survived the accidents. :-)
