@studerc's mysterious parcel

studerc posted some pics said Tue, Oct 4th 2016 at 5:44pm ET

The story began here…
https://meh.com/forum/topics/so-how-was-your-day

That day was a pretty fucked up day. Looking back, so much of that day…let alone that next week was a blur.

We have moved forward. Affairs for the most part have been put into order allowing the true grieving process to take place. I’m better off than others as my parents and youngest sibling are still in a lull.

I arrived home from school today with a strange parcel sitting on my door step. “Pretty sure I didn’t buy anything” I thought to myself. I checked my meh order history to confirm that my finances haven’t allowed me to make a purchase since early August. A shocking discovery to many I’m sure. I was about to chalk it up as a mistake and arrange a letter to CS explaining the mix up.

Alas…the wife. OMG, Casey?! You got me a laminator…I told you we couldn’t afford that right now. The box…already open on the kitchen counter.

Inside I noticed a familiar red bag…couldn’t be…could it? Yup…the infamous Fukobukuro bag. Inside, a meh sticker, the meh hockey puck ( you have no idea how I secretly loathed the fact I missed such an item, AND a letter.

Inside, wonderful comments and condolences from the Meh Staff. **fucking onions. I was taken back by the sheer magnitude of what I had witnessed. This parcel…wasn’t a mistake…it was for me. (And the wife) You fucking fuckers. An outright random act of kindness from my favorite community.

I shared the news with my parents. Mom started to cry. I shared the comments posted and she couldn’t believe the thoughtfulness and kindness that could be given by such a company.

I do my best, but words can’t describe how much this means to me and to my family.

To the meh staff: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You didn’t have to do anything…but you did anyway.

To the meh community: Thank you for your ongoing support and kind words. My family was completely shocked when I shared your thoughts and comments with them.

Truly a magical place. Cherish this place you Mehricans…there really aren’t many of them.

PS. Yes, that is my daughter, Charlotte photo bombing the second picture. She just couldn’t help herself.

This is why Meh / Mediocre is one of my favorite companies in the world and why they continue to earn my business and VMP membership even when my own momentary finances don’t allow for much spending. (Yes I am aware that I have probably cost more in free shipping than my collected VMP dollars account for but it’s still $5 I could cut off until I next needed it)

Meh staffers are the best! You rock @hollboll, @mickey, @dave, @kylethephotoguy, @purplecave, @katylava, @chadp, @troy, @moose, @mehsterious, @MEHcus, @galmaegi, @princesssuzuki, @harrison, and everybody else I couldn’t make out the names of!

The Fuku is nice. But it’s this community that’s really amazing! After reading @studerc’s original post, I was really moved by the thoughtfulness and love around here. ❤️❤️❤️

While I am not surprised at the thoughtfulness and awesomeness of the meh staff, I am always cheered by their actions and surprises to support the community here.

I know that we can’t fix what happened. There are not enough words in the world to express the empathy, sympathy, and sorrow for your losses. I am made a bit happier that the staff were able to make you smile.

(Also, your kid got so big! She’s ridiculously adorable.)

when you said **onions, i thought staff had at least kept the delivery somewhat Meh. and included a bag of rotten onions.

let me guess, you mentioned wanting that laminator in some post long ago, in a galxay far away, where winter is coming that they trolled for?

this is pretty amazing stuff though, glad to hear you are doing better, hope your family catches up to your progress shortly.

The best part of this is the Fuku clearly is personalized and had something known to be wanted instead of just random or cool stuff. Bravo Meh!

@studerc, I just now read your original post and wanted to say how truly sorry I am for the loss of your sister and your mom’s diagnosis. My prayers are with you and your family.

I don’t post very often, but I do read the forums quite a bit. Though not surprised, I am genuinely touched by all of the compassion and support offered. In reading the posts, it is clear you have quite a group of remarkable, caring friends here in the community. May these friendships bring you comfort during this difficult time.

And yes, the Meh staff definitely rocks!

@studerc it’s not about the onions, it’s the size and weight of the parcel… Man, I can’t even fathom words that I could say to try to (see it’s starting) Let me know if there is anything, I mean anything I can do to help you Also… I’m glad Meh did this… It’s freaking awesome that they care… and that it came on time… not like your goat prize…
