By large I mean by area, not [necessarily] density or weight. Preferably something that isn’t collapsable or capable of being easily disassembled. I want the delivery of the item to be a major pain in the ass.
Drywall. Heavy, fragile, 2 out of 3 dimensions are relatively large. Easy to transport when you’re stacking them in a truck but difficult up the stairs for example.
Bubble wrap. Cheap-ish per m³ if taking up space is more important but Easy to carry a roll of that around alone.
Bedbug ridden camper with no axles. A tow company with a flatdeck could easily load and unload still, but if you got it delivered while they were not home it would be a nightmare. Bonus points if it’s an apartment complex and you can put it in their stall.
The National Parks.
I guarantee you, for the amount you pay in your taxes for the upkeep of YOUR National Parks, you get orders of magnitude more beautiful land to enjoy than the acreage you could possibly purchase directly.
Before Trump fucked it all up that is, of course…
I missed Trump fucking things up and I need to know now…
If I understand correctly, this one is still in progress, i.e. her hasn’t quite accomplished it yet. They tried to add the selloff of public land to the big piece of shit bill, but I think that failed?
Ty!
Hay bale - or multiple.
Heaps and heaps of sand?
You shouldn’t think big, necessarily, you should think heavy. Postage to be paid on delivery.
Lead sheet in a return envelope is a great thank you for unsolicited application offers.
In that article 1 of 11 images is still available. Everything else is gone. lol
I know this one, it’s skin!
A really big sheet of paper?
They tend to roll those up.
Air, cuz it’s free, and by size the biggest object in our planet

By area, my first thought was something like gravel. Relatively cheap, and covers a large area. However, delivery is relatively simple. They just load it up to a dump truck, and they dump it where ever. For things that are pain in the ass to deliver, I think about wind turbine blades and such, which aren’t exactly cheap. I think if your goal is to spite the delivery people on the cheap, I’d say cat litter. They don’t come in bulk the way gravel does, so someone has to move it box by box.
Does it have to be usable?
What budget are we working with, like what’s the most you’d be happy to spend on this?
The $18.6 million in cash and 225 gold bars in two boxes that belonged to the late Mr. Jimmy Lemi Milla.
A big fuck-off mylar balloon.
Those plastic balls for a ball pit. You order them in bags of 1000 pcs for 15 bucks on Aliexpress, they are bloody huge. A couple of those will do.
Especially if your goal is to mess with the delivery driver, you can max out available storage in the truck in no time.
I think upped popcorn still might be cheaper if you have an air popper. Way purest waste plastic and you can make a huge volume of the stuff in just a few minutes.
I know a guy who filled his friend’s Saab with popcorn during a prank war back in the 90s. It kinda ended the whole thing I think, and there was always more popcorn in that poor car.
If only. Shipping on ball pit balls is stupid expensive. I looked at filling a 6x12 office like 3 feet deep and it was going to be almost $3000 once shipping was included. Yes, I am still bitter about it. I just didn’t want to deal with an office chair anymore.
You would still need to sit on something though right? Otherwise you just sink to the bottom.
Jim is that you?
A chair is less to deal with than a room full of balls
Sure, but imagine you join a meeting and the lead engineer is sitting in a ball pit. Isn’t your first response going to be to laugh? Then he shifts to grab something and slowly sinks out of frame. It’s 100% going to make whatever stupid meeting better.
I have this printed and framed next to my desk. It’s a good reminder of the power we all have to live our lives how we choose and the kind of people we want to be.
I do shit like that from time to time, when I remember beeing an adult is not just crappy and tedious but means I can decide shit. Last week I got a cheesecake. A whole cheesecake. And ate it for dinner. The whole cake. Because who’s gonna tell me I can’t do that? Certainly not the bakery. Or my kids. Maybe my doctor had an opinion on that, but come one it’s once a month or so that I do something like that.
Every time. It’s truly stunning that there’s an xkcd for everything.
It’s selection bias. Instances where there isn’t a relevant xkcd aren’t recorded.
Your xkcd number is 2618
Cause every conversation where there is not a relevant xkcd disappears from reality
Considering the joke is how many years old now? I assumed the punchline was implied. You are not wrong. 🤓
Finally, a way to get back at Steve, my mailman, who I don’t like very much. Fuck you, Steve! /s
