Fukobukuro 19: Fools Rush In
- This is a Fukobukuro, an unlucky bag
- That means it’s filled with worthless junk you wouldn’t buy knowingly, and you shouldn’t buy it sight unseen either
- We used to sell the same sort of thing as a “Fukubukuro”, or “lucky bag”, but the contents couldn’t live up to the name
- Before that, we used to sell the same sort of thing as a “BoC” (Bag of Crap) at Woot, but someone else runs that business now
- Long before that, you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating to the Meiji period, but all we really know about that is what’s on Wikipedia
- ONLY BUY ONE. Multiple orders will be canceled.
- (Or buy zero, if you’re smart.)
- Model: APRFU13
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
Danielle was not amused by our prank and immediately began screaming about being poisoned. Theresa did not help calm things down by repeatedly telling Danielle that she hoped she would die. I am unaware of a prank involving wishing death on coworkers.
The nuance must be lost on me.
I have learned a great deal in my efforts to ingratiate myself with my coworkers through lighthearted hijinx, but so far I have yet to succeed in my goal. Theresa tries to assure me that we are “making them all pay,” but I do not require monetary compensation.
Only friendship.
