As a kid I always loved getting mail. I would look through magazines and find things that were free and sign up for them. No matter what it was, I just like getting free stuff and especially when it arrived in the mailbox. When we get older, we don’t like that mail that much. I guess this is because we get so many bills in the mail now. It seems there is always someone wanting to collect money from me in some form or fashion. However, if it’s not a letter and comes in a box through the mail, I still love those packages. It’s much like it was when I was a child getting mail, I love seeing what a package might contain inside of it. I get so anxious to see what is inside it, I just try ripping it open without using a box cutter or a knife. Sometimes I can’t get these mail packages opened and I do have to grab a knife or a pair of scissors to help gain entry. No one really sends me surprise packages, so most of the time I already know what’s inside the box. Even if I do know what’s inside, I still like to open it up and see if there is anything unexpected in my packages. Do you share my love for opening packages sent through the mail?
The last package I got was from the state of Indiana. I knew what was inside of it, because just a few days earlier, I had won a auction item off of eBay. It was a gold pan and this was my first gold pan ever. I had been wanting a gold pan for a long time, so I was excited to finally get one. I was hoping the sender was going to include a few samples of gold in my package that day, but no such luck. There were some papers inside and a magazine for other gold related items this person was selling from Indiana. I know a lot of people do like to bid and buy things off of eBay. I believe one of the thrills these online shoppers get, is opening their items from the packages they find in their mailboxes. If I ever get enough money up to buy a lot of things online, I will be sure to keep a box cutter handy for when all of my packages do arrive in the mail.
