What's the most disturbing thing you could ever find in your mailbox?

I would imagine that going down to the mailbox, coffee in hand, opening the little door to find a used condom filled with helium would probably ruin my day. Any worse?

Letters from the IRS used to bother me, but now I guess severed body parts or pipe bombs would head the list.

Off to IMHO.

Thanks Cajun Man

I found a note, the other day, from my neigbours. Telling me they were going to repair their house and “it might be a bit noisy”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

About 7 months ago, I would have said a big pile of anthrax, but I DID almost get bit by a black widow spider the other day getting the mail…scared the crap outta me! She must have been reading my Entertainment Weekly…maybe for Spiderman articles?

ummmmm, mebbe a letter from hubby’s ex??

Oh, no one here remembers the movie Se7en?

“Come on, what’s in the box?!” :eek:

Ranchoth

Bill Clinton
Or any other politician, come to think of it.

An AOL disk.

If a black widow bites you-will you die?

I would have to say a blood soaked rag. Or a needle with a note attached telling me I now have HIV.
:wink:

A letter from the US Goverment that starts out,
Greetings

I once found a dead bird in mine. That was quite disturbing. Seems he had gotten in there and couldn’t get out. Not exactly the bills and whatnot I was expecting.

Real Life death threats from any of the plurality of people online who have threatened to kill me. :smiley:

That would be freaky.

A fetus.

a letter telling me my loved one is chosen as the leader of our very own right-wing LPF.

Tickets to a DeFranco Family Reunion Concert.

Ooooo good one. How about: tickets to a Celine Dion concert

The vast majority of letters sent to me by various government agencies have ruined my day.

“Dear Sir, the test results have come back and you have [whatever disease scares you the most].”

“Dear Sir, this letter is to inform you that you have been recalled to active duty . . .” I don’t know if they can really do that but it’s happened to people in a couple books I’ve read.

I saw a movie where a guy opened his mailbox and found a pissed off rattlesnake.

Daoloth’s fetus is pretty bad.

I suppose your dead pet or, worse, your dead child, or a part of one of your other loved ones would be pretty bad.

A black hole.
