This happens every time your [object Object] gets stolen

For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had "null" as the receiver in the system.

Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system ...

I would be terrified not to open that box too.

Yeah, the moment you look at it you may experience a null pointer exception

SCP Agent: What's in the box?

SCP Scientist: Nothing

SCP Agent: So, what's the big deal? Just open it. Or toss it out. I almost tripped on it and spilled my coffee...

SCP Scientist: You don't understand. Our measurements show that there's nothing in the box. It contains, or rather doesn't contain, a complete absence of space, time, and matter. It's a hole in the universe that is inexplicably cordoned off from the air in this room, and everything else in it, by a flimsy cardboard shell.

SCP Agent: ...

SCP Agent: Is that bad?

SCP Scientist: Very.

I used to work at a DVD store, and sometimes we'd get a huge box with a single DVD at the bottom, and a ton of those plastic bags full of air to cushion it. When one of those packages arrived, I'd loudly announce, "Thank god! Our air arrived!" Then I'd tear it open and we'd all gasp like we'd been holding our breaths waiting for it.

Pack a bag, we need to be far away from here in the next 3 to 4 business days.... don't ask why just pack!

There's some decent money to be made in null shipping. For one thing, fuel costs are very low.

Let's hope you're ready to handle this package. Try your best!

So when the package arrives, how many pieces of faulty software needing to point at it will it be encircled by?

Imagine holding a null in your hand... hopefully they sent you only one, and not zero nulls, or worse... -1... and don't even get be started on imaginary nulls.
