Default Heavy boxes

I've also seen in the past, heavy uneven load with one of those little
squat Japanese blokes and a fork lift with a box half toppled over beside
him.

I'd suggest some new labels.
Only pick up if you have long arms,
And one to help all those who cannot read use no hooks, suggesting idiots
get a senior person before handling.

What is it with putting warnings on boxes to say they're heavy? You'll
find out when you try to lift it! If you've got a bad back you just
wouldn't. You can feel the weight as you grab it ffs.

Assuming any elastic deformation is lossless and perfectly reversible,
calculate how long it will be until the next Passover.

Default Heavy boxes

I put a note on my door saying to put parcels in the shed if I'm out. When that failed, I added "This includes the Royal Mail". When that failed, I added "Would illiterate postmen please ask a neighbour for help?" One of them made a complaint to the Royal Mail, which was ignored. Parcels are now left in the shed.
