bugdozer Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Got my blaster in the mail today... after a bit of trouble! The stupid postman delivered it to the wrong house. Rather than read the label, the unintelligent recipient of the box opened it, thinking it was for her. She was horrified to find the box contained - gasp - a DEADLY WEAPON! (never mind that it had no trigger and no hole for ammo to come out of!) So she read the name, and realised that she and my wife had a mutual friend on Facebook. So she messages my wife on FB (I'm at work at the time) and threatens to call the police if we can't tell her the tracking number on the box. No, I don't get the logic of it either. Anyway, my wife explains to her it's a prop replica (or as she calls it, "a toy gun") and eventually the woman drops it round to the house. Nice to have some drama, but seriously, who would ever think it was real? 9 Quote
Gato Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 You should have told her to call the police. That way they would have taken her to jail. Either for stupidness (not a real word, but funny) or opening your mail. 2 Quote
uscstaylor Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Yup its a Federal Crime to open another person's mail. Then the joke would have been on her! 5 Quote
Chef Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'd tell your neighbour to stop being a busybody, and what the heck is she doing opening your post! At least you got it. 1 Quote
SulacoBoy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 She ain't about that Pathfinder life. Right boys? Quote
Oberkisstillalive Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 LMAO any basic visual observation would clearly show that it is not a real firearm. I can't stand people like that. Quote
Chef Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It's a good job I didn't send you this!! 7 Quote
Mandalorean Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 You can send that to me if you like Rob.... Quote
Guest Vox Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Would've been sweet to have Darth Vader knock on her door to resolve the situation. Quote
Nexous Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 That's rather unfortunate about the neighbor business, but glad things worked out in the end! Quote
Guest Mikhailov Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 That's crazy. Can't believe anybody would open your mail, and then mistake a prop blaster for a real gun. "Some people's kids," right on... Quote
bugdozer Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Here's the offending gun (with my newly padded pouches). I've added some subtle weathering to make it look more metal and less plastic, although you can't really see on this photo. Quote
