LOL! My hubby was admitting to me an adventure with packaging and this reminded me of it!
He said that he stopped and got me a new digital camera for our anniversary, since mine broke. Even told me the brand, but feels it's not giving it away since I don't know what it looks like yet and all of the features it has. Anyhow, he hid it in the closet and one day while I was out, he brought it out of the closet. But let's back up.....
When purchasing it, they rubbed it over some pad and the girl said "hmmm, this doesn't seem to be disarming the security device. Well, let's see what happens when you walk out of the store". He walks out, setting off the security alarms and is explaining what happened while showing the receipt. They still can't get it disarmed and told him to just keep walking when the alarm sounds. So he did and that brings me to when I was gone and he brings it out of the closet.
With our 6 year old and nearly 14 year old sons, he brings it out, tells them what it is and what he has to do with it now (take all of the security stuff off). First, there's a cage around it and he's trying not to scratch up the camera will trying to remove this wire cage it's enclosed in. Then he says there's speakers on either side of the camera, with wires coming out of them. He detaches the speakers from the camera, cuts the wires and..... an ear piercing siren/alarm goes off scaring both of the kids to the point of tears and they ran to other side of the house. He said it was so loud, he was sure the neighbors would hear it. He's trying to figure out how to disarm this thing while losing the remainder of what little hearing he has left and finally had to break into the battery source of the alarm to disarm it.
He goes back to the store he bought if from and tells them what happened and they said" Ohhhhhh, we forgot to mention that".
They are still traumatized and I'm sure I'll hear it all over again when I get the camera on the anniversary!
