Food and treats sent by parents, whether by coach, minibus or train, are a great joy.
But, as the student in the following story found out the hard way, parents can sometimes be practical jokers. In his first year at university, he had just arrived in Bucharest and settled into the dormitory. He received a call from his parents, who promised to bring him a parcel. The young man arrived at the station, picked up a large box and hurried back to his dormitory.
When he opened it, he was shocked. There was no food inside, only garbage and packaging. At first, the young man didn’t know what was going on, but later he discovered a note that explained everything. He hadn’t tidied up his room before leaving. It read: “Please take away the garbage”.
The young man shared the incident on his Facebook page after learning his lesson and laughing at the joke. The message received thousands of likes and comments and immediately went viral.
