What kind of twisted world do we live in?

Okay, this is bullshit.

My brother and I were looking for a gift for him to bring to a Wedding party. We finally settled on Russian Nesting Dolls. We're Russian. It's Russian. It's traditional and unique.

So we go to Toronto and buy the thing from a Russian Antique store. Awesome. Everything is going to plan.

On the way home we realize one small issue... we don't have a box to put it in. We take a turn to the mall and begin exploring for a potential box to put it in. We stop by the Card/Gift store and they apparently don't sell boxes. Crap. We go to the Arts and Crafts store and they do have a normal box, but it's 21.99. That's dumb, so we stop by the Flea Market under the mall. Not one store or person was selling a container of any kind.

When did it become so hard to buy a plain ass, unmarked box? When it did it become a luxury item that costs 22 dollars? For god's sake, the things I buy come in boxes.

    You can always just cut a hole in the box, Defender. That's step one.

    In my experience, boxes are usually empty, or maybe with a little cheese stuck to the top. And one time, pepperoni. What a day that was!

    The post office was too far and we couldn't get to it from where we were in time. Someone died on the highway and botched everything up.

    Even then, the Post Office sells marked boxes. Not plain boxes.

    go to a local grocery store and get an old box that fruit comes in or let them think for a moment that your wedding gift is 24x 250g Cheese & Bacon Cheetos

    seriously if you are moving or something go out back of supermarkets where they throw out all their old boxes
    just ask the guys there and theyll probably tell you to help yourself to a mountain of cardboard they got lying around

    For the record, we eventually solved the problem. We got a shoe box and remove the top coat of it so it was ended up being unmarked.

    I was furious that it had to come to that. I used to have my sandles in that shoe box : (

    If there wasn't a huge box crisis, I could have placed the gift inside many boxes, each box being progressively smaller.

    1. Get some cardboard or stiff paper.
    2. Read this or this

    No one sells small boxes anymore because it's just so easy to make your own.

    See, he means Solid Snake.

    Because, he hides in a fucking box. A big fucking cardboard box.

    I want to make sure everyone gets that. Comedy like that should never go to waste.
