My professor sent me a giant box full of dirt and a live SCOBY culture

....I paid over $600 for this mandatory course

100 pipettes.
Or cleaning goo.
Or 92 yards of elastic.
Or 3 black jackets. (All different types. All together.)
Or caffeine mints, resin spray, Haku neck pillow.

Gosh I could go on Xd its what you get for having an Etsy shop though

i sent my 2ds to my long-distance girlfriend for repairs to see if she could fix its broken volume slider (the speakers are always at 100% and the slider doesn't change the volume at all)
she couldn't fix it but she did come up with a solution which was to attach a wii wrist strap to it, with an aux cable that leads to nowhere taped to the end of it, effectively muting it but still able to take it out should i ever want to hear the ear-piercing audio.
she then sent it back to me with lots of other things e.g. like 5 of her favorite childhood toys and her old xbox one controller. it's goofy and silly and i love it

i also got some roach jelly in the mail a while ago to feed my pet hissing roaches! like beetle jelly but. for roaches. it was mango flavored and they enjoyed it very much

also, a 4-foot-long dragon plushie that resembles haku, courtesy of my girlfriend. it was squished into an impossibly small package. the tension in the plastic around it was unreal

A box with bones and various skulls, including a complete cat skeleton.

I used to do volunteer work at a thrift store, and this box was something that they'd gotten that they couldn't sell. I no longer worked there at the time but some of my old colleagues remembered that I'm into vulture culture, so they sent the box over to me as a gift. It would probably have ended up in the trash otherwise and that would have been a real shame and a waste.

I s'pose th' oddest thing that I 'ave ordered be a jarred 'n very dead mudpuppy. Th' wee thing be downstairs fer now 's we've nary th' furniture t' properly display items. Perfect fer 'alloween but other'n that at th' moment it serves no purposes.

when i was younger, my long distance partner sent me an envelope full of their hair

[quote name="panzerhaus" date="2020-05-20 08:07:43" ] The thing itself wasn't that weird so much as the method of shipping it. I once ordered an Assassin's Creed pin from Ubisoft's online store that was about an inch in diameter. They shipped it to me in a roughly 1x1x2 foot box. I still don't understand why they couldn't have just used an envelope. [/quote] @panzerhaus About a year ago we put in an order at Walmart and one of the items, a small action figure, was sent from another location as the rest. So when it arrived all by itself, it was in one of those HUGE boxes about half my height, all for a figure that the box is barely bigger than my foot. This has happened a few other times with various small items, we'll get ONE little thing in a HUGE box and it just cracks me up every time.

2 living baby red-necked turtles

dont worry they were fine maybe i kept them as pets for a few years (they were our pets lol they just. came in a little container in an even bigger box that held the tank parts jwhejhwwgwe)
i wonder how they are doing and if they are dead or not- oh gosh
