Gonna fedex a big plastic box of diarrhoea with a cardboard lid and "this way up" painted correctly. You'll never turn my packages upside-down again.

It would've spilled long before it got to me and the local delivery trucks I'd be loading. We'd be unpacking large cross-country semis that were packed so haphazardly that unofficial protocol was to open them and run; one time I almost had a car jack land on my head that someone decided to shove in on top of a stack of boxes.

Can confirm the semi thing, worked for a national post carrier for few months and sometimes had to help load and unload trucks for international shipments.

It would basically be us playing Tetris with the packages until about chest level, then someone would have to climb on top of that stack to fill it up to the ceiling. The smaller stuff and mail bags just get yeeted into whatever gap that exists.

Even after all that, there wouldn't be much space left, so package your stuff well I guess

May I dare ask who you would be delivering this to?

Good question. Myself, probably.

Don't forget the biohazard stickers
