You open it.
Open it
Check if it ticks.
Open it and get cursed like my DnD character lol
[deleted]
100% open it
I would wear a face shield and very tentatively cut a small hole and use my phone camera to peak inside
Remove the Do Not Open label, and send it to that neighbor you hate, watch.
Bring it to the post office and have them track the shipping bar code to see who it was sent by.
Take it down to the police station and have them open it
In this sub, the answer will universally be to open it
Throw it in the garbage disposal/compactor and plug my ears
I would shake that shit like I wanted it to stop crying.
Anyone saying anything other than “open it” is trolling and you know it
Take it and pay a Hobo 20 bucks to ooen it for me.
If I’m expecting a package and it fits the general size and weight of the item ordered, I’ll contact the shipping party and ask WTF and confirm the package was delivered.
If I’m not expecting a package or it doesn’t fit the size and weight I’m expecting then that’s a job for 911.
open it.
If they wanted you to open it, then they wouldn’t have put the sign on. But then they know that you know that. But of course you know that they know that you know that.
Have my friend open it in public.
Take off the notice and give it to enemy
One of my childhood friend’s father was a victim of the Unibomber. He lived but with a lot of damage – missing fingers and a badly damaged face. I’m not going to open it.
Leave it on my porch and let the porch pirates steal it.
Nice try, Satan.
Shoot fireballs at it
Shake it to see if it sounds like a bomb.
Unlike most people, I’m going to do as it says. DO NOT OPEN.
Trash can
Put on my safety squints and open it.
Throw it in the dumpster. Why do I have to deal with this shit?
Call the bomb squad
Bring it to work and open it there, especially at a meeting that coulda been an email.
I will 100% be opening it but outside with gloves maybe a mask and goggles? But I’m a nosy bitch too so .
I poke it with a stick
Throw that shit in the trash and go get a bagel. I’m not falling for some stalker’s reverse psychology mind games.
Open it. I am too curious for my own good
Call me Pandora but I’ll def open it
Make a Reddit post: I just received this unmarked package that says… and collect the sweet karma.
Cover up the “Do Not Open” and ask one of the neighborhood kids to open it… in the street.
I would take some precautions and find a way to open it in a way that is less likely to get myself blown up
I’d close it
We want an update lol
There’s a million dollars inside the box..a tv reality show is waiting to see your reaction.
Open it. Duh.
I did it once. Had this weird metal ball thingie. Had to pry it open with a screwdriver
Call the boys on Friday and bet who will open it.
Open it, obviously.
I’ve learnt my lesson from The Magnus Archives, I’m not opening that shit. Maybe some weird dude will come back in a few years for it and give me money lmao.
The correct answer is call the postal inspection service or your country’s equivalent
Run it through the customs xray couple times. Though it’d been through that already. But makes the quessing fun looking at the different sides and all that cool stuff. Only good thing about extended family is that one cousin.
Just be careful with unsolicited packages!

Throw it in the fucking garbage. I don’t have time to open all the shit I’m supposed to; I’m going to fuck around with this nonsense?
An easy way to figure out which one of your kids you like the least.
Call the police and GTFO. I’m not touching that.
Open it immediately to get to the sweet anthrax waiting inside
I’d leave it in the shed until I get more details.
If it doesn’t have my name on it, probably return it to the post office
Assuming I am not expecting this package, I might call the local police department for advice.
They become politicians for both parties
Wouldn’t give a fuck and just not open it , it says that for a reason throw it out and be done with . Ain’t got that for that kinda shit in my life.
I probably wouldn’t even notice the label before I’ve opened it
Trash it
Addressed to me?
Straight into the bin.
Take it to the airport.
Funny enough I know a guy who has a search dog that alerts with explosives. I’m calling him up to check it with the pooch. If it alerts I’m calling the cops next (unless of corse I ordered some ammo or something). If it doesn’t I’m still taking precautions opening it but….im opening it.
Call the police and let them know someone left a weird package on my doorstep with no labels on it other than ‘Do Not Open and am worried it is a bomb. Then let them investigate how a package was allowed to be delivered with no return address if it is not anything serious.
Off topic, but I get lots of ups packages daily. One time I opened one and inside were three Nintendo ds games and a screen protector for the Ds. I don’t play video games so I was confused. I check and realize it was delivered to me by accident and meant for another address. I called ups and they told me if I already opened it then they can’t take it back.
I decide to tape it back up and maybe send it to the person, wasn’t sure because I didn’t want to spend money on this problem but whatever I’d figure it out. For now I just taped it back up. 3 days later my wife goes to send my phone to Google as a trade in program so I can get some credit to my account. I see the credit come in but find my phone is still at home, she sent the box with the games. Google refuses to return the games, they say that if the phone isn’t in the box when they open it they just “throw away” whatever they receive. But they left the credits on my account and I kept the kept second phone.
Cops idk
