See the box below? It is one of the many I receive from India every day. People there are sending me stuff to ask if their family goat is going to have a good labor this fiscal year.
Yes, that is my old skool K750i phone. Proud to be an old man. Anyway, it is there for you to get an idea how big the box is.
Now, inside the box, is an envelope, no bigger than my phone – as per the picture below.
Inside the envelope, is a piece of thermal pad for notebook processors, measuring about 18mm x 18mm – as per the picture below.
I receive a few hundred boxes like this every month. Boxes that are 700% or more too big for its insignificant content. And sometimes, an even bigger box containing these small boxes, all wrapped up with 7 – 8 layers of those plastic shrink wraps (and the amount of fuel used to transport them). Can you imagine how big the shit gets?
Well, isn’t it refreshing for you people to know (especially the tree huggers) – that for every ream of paper you recycle or refrain from using, some asshole somewhere is doing something like this to reverse your conservation effort by a few folds?
For me, I’m just being fucking tired of this shit. You know, to receive something like this, and then to return it back without doing anything because it’s not what I wanted/supposed to work on.
Ah, HSBC also likes to send you your vouchers (claimed from credit card points) in big courier packages with layers of wrapping and the actual voucher size is equivalent to a 1 ringgit note…..
You turned off comments on you previous post.. Just wanna say the name popedom molerat is cool
Arkane – Yeah man, and those pamphlets/flyers as well. I wonder if anyone keeps track of the amount of paper used to maintain that kind of shit.
feizal – It wasn’t meant to be cool but, never mind.
Feizal, it’s Poppadom Molerat, not POPEdom. If she becomes the pope everyone would not be LIVING on end of July.
Hahah yeah, if she’s the Pope, then Yucko the Clown must be God.
i’m waiting for you to blog about the crooks who made off w.the S’gor police chief’s car, then returned it later w/a “sorry, wrong car note”.
at least the crooks have a conscience. now if they’d only return all the other cars they stole…
