LOL, I never accidentally did the box-on-head until later on. Deliberately as a parody sometimes, yes. But oh the experience is definitely one of those unique things to SL that you can talk about and somewhere down the line chuckle over it with friends. *smiles*

Ah finn, at a Telehub too.

Caption time!

You gotta admit, dropping the box on yourself intentionally is the natural thing to do when you want to wear what it contains. It happens to everyone because it is begging to happen. On the other hand, it is counter intuitive to have to drop the box on the floor, actually making yet another copy of it, right-click to edit the box to get to the contents, drag the contents back to your inventory, and THEN drop them on yourself. All to try on something you probably don't want anyway. :(

Yes, it's happened to me several times, and one time I could not detach the stupid thing until I logged out.

A box attached to your head is a SL right of passage. Welcome, brother... welcome! :)

I must point out that the avatar in the picture is not mine. I was on my way to Ritch and landed in Da Boom. I just could not resist taking the picture.
I started to think what had happened.

Oh, a free tuxedo, just what I need since I am on my way to a club. I better take off my old clothes and put the new ones on. Hmm, seems they do not load; ah well I just sit down here on the hub waiting for them.

this is my new term to replace n00b... tuxbox. It says it all.

"He's still a real tuxbox, you know?"

~or~

"hey doofus, take off the tuxbox! :P"
"yeah, i know... I wasn't thinking. That was pretty tuxbox of me!"
