box hunt

Come on, people! Order more stuff so I can take the boxes!

One of these days, someone who buys something from me on eBay is going to get upset because the box says "Sigma-Aldrich" or "Fisher Scientific." OH NOES, CHEMICALS.

How about "BIOHAZARD?" Aside from the medical waste boxes being a great size for packing, I'm so tempted to gank some just to freak people out.

A while back, I sent my cousin her baby shower gift in a Fisher box. It took ten minutes of questioning at the post office- and me scratching the big warning stickers off- before they'd agree to let me mail the diaper bag.

Oh, jeez. They do tend to insist that you peel off the labels, though. Did you have to deface the "Fisher Scientific" part?

Fortunately no, once I explained it was a recycled box. I think they wanted rid of me.

...It saved on wrapping, in the end- when it arrived, my sister made a point of delivering it in the original box. The cousin immediately knew who it was from.

Hahahaha if I move, I'm so keeping the honking "FLAMMABLE" stickers on the sides of mine. ;-)

One of my friends got very excited about a box that read "SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTIBLE." XD
