NOT4BURGLERS [sic] mystery package from Meh

98

Yes, it’s a bit long, but please take the time to read through…

Look what was waiting for me in the mailbox when I checked the mail yesterday:

No big deal, right? I ordered the Martian Notifier watch the other day to replace my daily wear watch that was stolen in a home burglary last Wednesday, so I just assumed the Shipping department over at Meh was seriously on the ball and got that watch shipped post haste.

But… as I was walking back into the house I started to notice some things about the package were… well, off.

First, it was addressed to @ruouttaurmind:

Usually shipments from Meh include my proper name. Weird. But I chalked it up to some glitch in the order system. The Martian Notifier was the first time I used the /buy command in the forum and figured some kind of data map anomaly occurred during order processing. No worries! It was here, and that’s all that mattered.

But… as I was unlocking the front door, I noted the order number on the package:

“NOT4BURGLERS” Wha??? What is THAT about?

I put down the mail, grabbed some scissors and dug in.

First thing I pulled out of the envelope was this mangled note (I dug in a little too deep with the scissors):

“This is not for burglers. If you are one, put this back and reconsider your life choices. -Meh”

I know “LOL” is SO overused… but this actually DID make me laugh out loud.

The other side of the note:

Dear @RuoTtaurMind,

We can’t quite replace what those
mean burglers stole, but hopefully this
helps some.

your friends at

Meh

How freakin’ awesome is that? Hilarious!

So I dig into the package and find:

What the Fuk!?! One of the many things stolen in the burglary last week was my September Fuk 12: Morning Edition. The whole box! Meh swag and all. The good folks at Meh took pity on my poor soul and sent a replacement!

Inside the bag was:

Some very awesome Meh swag! Two each of Meh decals, hockey pucks, and can koozies, plus a USB power bank, a pirate eye patch and some super sweet purple Meh shades!

Honestly… how awesome is this?

Many of you may not understand it, but of the thousands of dollars of “stuff” that was stolen, my faith in humanity was probably the most valuable thing stolen from me last Wednesday. Then a group of folks in Texas, who don’t even know me, made a gesture of kindness and compassion that put a big smile on my face for the first time in a week, lightening my heart and reminding me… despite all the crappy, evil idiots in the world there are still plenty of people who are good, caring and decent.

From the very bottom of my heart, Meh, thank you SO much! You folks are absolutely incredible. Truly.
