Great example of unboxing!!! I’ve never heard of it before…but I immediately thought of homeschoolers, we get very excited when the UPS guy delivers a big box of books to our door and usually announce it to the world and do a celebration dance. Unboxing would be the logical next step.

we also report in for catalog sightings on homeschool forums. It’s a sickness.

My wife made me come read this blog this morning as I was eating my Cheerios. Okay, I admit–I have a problem. I know I don’t need the box for the modem for the DSL service we used 7 years ago when we lived in another city. I know that. But I might someday, right? So, I have the box, and the slightly used modem sitting nicely packed in a corner of my “box/out-dated gadget” closet.

But methinks that the real travesty was what I witnessed here on your blog. You see, I love Cheez-it. And knowing that, my wife would see that box and say, “Oooh… Parmesan Cheez-it!” and buy them.

But, when I spy them in the cupboard, it would be with trembling hands and a pounding heart that I slowly opened the Duoz box quietly praying, “Please let them be in separate bags! Please let them be in separate bags!”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

OK, gotta speak up for the geek men; personally, I don’t get the whole unboxing thing. But keeping all of the packaging for everything – I totally do that, and here’s why:

Any good geek is going to want the latest and greatest of every new gadget that comes down the pike. But most of us can’t keep all of them, so the solution is to *sell* the old ones – ebay, craigslist, etc. And a gadget is worth much more if it comes with all of the original packaging.

At least that’s why I do it. As for the people who never get rid of anything and keep all of the boxes anyway, yeah, that’s pretty weird :)
