Default Free stuff from Barnes and Noble

About a month and a half ago, we got a package at my apartment addressed to my gf.

She signed for it, then took it inside, and noticed it was from Barnes and Noble. Then she realized she hadn't ordered anything from Barnes and Noble. She calls UPS, they tell her the package is her problem? She calls B&N, they tell her it was meant to be an inter-store transfer of some sort and they have no clue how her name got on it. She calls UPS back. They tell her that it's her problem to get it to a UPS store, then they'll get it back to B&N.

So we put it at the bottom of our steps for a long time, thinking we're going to take it one day, but not doing so. But no one calls us either, even though they have our number. We realize this means it can't be that important or anything, but still intend to send it back.

Today, we decided to say [censored] it and just open the box and keep whatever's inside. So, after much anticipation, we finally opened the box, that's been sitting in the apartment for a month and half. Inside the box was a box. (surprise) Inside that box?

About 100 small plastic packages, each containing 2 floppy disks.

Yeah. Floppy disks.

Brag: Free box of stuff from B&N

Beat: Floppy disks?

V: Story probably better with dramatic unboxing photos.
