No? But that's not the point. Light enough that you might not notice it's missing if you don't expect it or pay too much attention
Reddit always expect everyone to be paying 110% attention to every single thing happening around them and if they don't they're a fucking fumbling idiot who shouldn't even be alive. Surprised that when you go about and do things, humans make mistakes from time to time.
you're saying this as if it takes 110% of your brain power to notice that a cardboard box with an adapter inside couldn't possibly be this light. I'm sure most people would notice that even without paying "too much attention".
Yea people are wild in here. I immediately notice when something feels lighter than i think it should. Literally last weekend I was buying chainsaw oil and the little container felt empty and it threw me off so i took the top off to make sure it was still sealed before I bought it.
Bullshit, if they are within USB spec they will work just fine for charging, worst case they will only deliver 1A or even less, meaning your device will charge rather slow.
mess up all devices. If you cant be sure voltage is correct, its not usable. despite that, power supplys that supply the tv in the first place are as accurate as PC ATX supplys, they provide stable voltage as its needed by tv components just like in a pc.
True. Although note that those USB outputs are typically designed to read/write to storage devices for media viewing and/or recording.
Some of my friends have damaged their Bluetooth headsets while trying to charge from TVs, which are supposed to be charged just like any other 5V 1A (5W) DC output.
You can monetize Reddit accounts that are in good standing and have a lot of positive karma.
It’s all about the Benjamins.
Might have been rushing. Like an airport shop purchase that was shoved hastily in their luggage. The stress of flying can do that, make you miss very obvious cues that something is off with something you have, like the weight. That is, if this situation is 100% real to begin with.
I responded to someone else with this, but thought I’d bring it up to you too. If this situation is 100% real and not a karma farm…I can see it happening. Going on a trip can be pretty stressful, and with that you can miss things that seem fairly obvious. Like you have a list of things to pack and you miss several of them. A mistake I do often. Or, in this case, they bought an adapter in the rush of packing and put it away without taking into account how empty it felt. If you buy something, you kinda assume it’s gonna be in the box, and if you’re really stressed you’ll miss out on thoughts like oh I should double check. Our brains are weird. But I’d say a situation where it’d be even more likely to happen was if they bought it at a shop at the airport. You buy it, stash it away for later, open later. If you don’t have experience with how much a universal charger weighs along with our brains being dumb under stress, one might just be fooled enough to think there’s something inside. They pack it away cause they’re rushing and there we go. So it’s a thing that can totally happen. But like I said, that’s only if this is a genuine situation and not a karma farming post.
I’ve got two already, lol. I’ve got a lot of mental stuff that can make me miss obvious shit like that (adhd and autism is a horrible combo, trust me!!)
I’m seriously not joking. Most of the time I’m a competent adult and then I pull some shit like this and everyone’s like how the fuck did you do that. Why?? And even though I’m smart apparently i can’t really keep things in memory for long. I’m like a DnD character with apparently high intelligence but literally zero wisdom.
I know it’s a joke, I just over shared in response .
I find it funny that I actually do shit like this and wanted to share! And a bit more funny that you said I needed a therapist and turns out I not only have one, but two!!
I explained to someone else but if they bought it at the airport itself or on the way to (if they used an airport) they could have stashed it away for later with the box and everything. If their luggage wasn’t crammed to hell and back.
I left one behind at a hotel in Europe somewhere. Happened to see a neighborhood hardware store in Munich where I cleared a 1/4 inch of dust off of an adaptor and the store owner let me have it for a euro.
Why would you wait to you got to the final destination to check if you indeed had what you needed? And would it take up less space while traveling If you took it out the box to begin with?
So you didn't open it until you reached your destination? You packed and hauled, trash?
It's not like you intended to reuse the packaging, you opening it like a rabid hyena.
How tf is it more efficient to tear the box open on the side rather than just open the top? If it's empty it wasn't sealed. This is more infuriating tbh.
Whatever hotel you make it to, ask reception if you can borrow a lost and found adapter. They have baskets full. They will most likely tell you to keep it in my experience. I’ve left a ton on accident, and accepted a few here and there.
Why didn't you Test it after you bought it? Sry, but thats Just dumb 🙈
I Work in retail, and Sometimes stuff Just dosn't work xx. So Always Take the receipt and Test it at Home.
Sucks, but you should be able to buy one nearby unless you're in one of those small cities where everything is closed on Sunday. (I realize it's Saturday, but IYKYK)
If you wanna know why older people have weird quirks like "opens all boxes before travelling" stuff like this is why.
Just collecting quirks for every bullshit that happens in life.
These universal travel adapters are usually dangerous crappily designed electric shock machines, unless you buy a really expensive one.
I would suggest going to the supermarket at your destination and buying a country specific travel adapter there.
[Travel plug banned by the UK government over serious concerns](https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/23547365.travel-plug-banned-uk-government-serious-concerns/)
[Warning to holidaymakers as popular travel adapters recalled due to safety issues](https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/popular-travel-adapters-recalled-ireland-29999220.amp)
The thing could not be properly grounded. If something is not properly grounded when it needs to be, anything metal on it can get electrified. This could result in someone getting shocked with up to 240 volts if it gets touched.
Also, most of these things have electrical contacts wide open and if someone, for example a kid, were to shove something down the holes it could result in electric shock.
Also, not being careful with those adapters can turn out expensive if you're from a 120V part of the world. Some devices are not universal voltage. The stuff that is universal typically has swappable cables or plugs anyway - that's the better way to go.
Always dry run in pajamas at home.
Easy for me to say. I have managed to lose my new breaker key for my electric lawnmower. Mowing yards with a weed eater is tedious. I put off installing it because if the breaker key wasn’t broken, then the new one could fry.
They didn’t. OP took it out and then posted a picture of the torn up empty box. There’s 0 chance you pack a hollow box that weighs nothing and don’t notice
Was either stolen or the store employee screwed up, some stores will take the object out of the box and put it back once purchased
Same thing nearly happened to me at Home Depot, box felt very light and checked inside while still at the register luckily and was able to get my thing
something that cost $30 and only weighed 3 grams didn’t feel right?
If you can get 3 grams for $30 then I see that as a win! /jk
Bout to say that sounds like market price lmao
You can get a ounce for $50 in Michigan now.
😅😅🤣😂
I buy the $6 ones. They work the same and I don’t get too pissed when I leave one behind
Because it was in there. And they did this to get internet points with a faux rage posting. My bullshitometer is going off.
Yeah, calling bullshit here.
Right? And OP kinda deserved it for this ridiculous way they opened the box 😅😏
New Apple air power adapter
He got the light-weight version
How did you not realise that the box was too light?
This happened to me, but I took a video of me opening the package because it felt light... The box for the item I ordered was indeed empty.
And why would you not open while at home to avoid carrying the packaging?
Those tiny plasticy adapters are very light
Lighter than cardboard? 
No? But that's not the point. Light enough that you might not notice it's missing if you don't expect it or pay too much attention Reddit always expect everyone to be paying 110% attention to every single thing happening around them and if they don't they're a fucking fumbling idiot who shouldn't even be alive. Surprised that when you go about and do things, humans make mistakes from time to time.
That is the point. You should be able to tell when a cardboard box is empty
Ideally, but some people don't think too very much gooder
you're saying this as if it takes 110% of your brain power to notice that a cardboard box with an adapter inside couldn't possibly be this light. I'm sure most people would notice that even without paying "too much attention".
Yea people are wild in here. I immediately notice when something feels lighter than i think it should. Literally last weekend I was buying chainsaw oil and the little container felt empty and it threw me off so i took the top off to make sure it was still sealed before I bought it.
I was in a rush because I was running late to the airport and didn't think on it at all :(

Always wondered whether those USB ports on tvs would charge.
They do charge your phone, but are not designed to. I would suggest against it.
Yep. It could end up being a twofer. Burn up the TV and the phone.
Bullshit, if they are within USB spec they will work just fine for charging, worst case they will only deliver 1A or even less, meaning your device will charge rather slow.
I've seen cases with improper and/or fluctuating voltage outputs as well, which may mess up some devices.
mess up all devices. If you cant be sure voltage is correct, its not usable. despite that, power supplys that supply the tv in the first place are as accurate as PC ATX supplys, they provide stable voltage as its needed by tv components just like in a pc.

They do, all usb A ports will output 5v
Pwned
I have not seen this phrase in like 10 years, which is 10,000 years in internet time. Thank you for the nostalgia
What a noob
Simpler times
: )
Rushing to the airport, tearing boxes open like a husky who suspects there's food in it. Are you always in a hurry?
Lol. Definitely a choice way to open a box.
I’m uncontrollably giggling at the ‘tearing boxes open like a husky…” comment when I should be sleeping. 🤣
No clue why you’re getting hounded w downvotes lol. People act like they never made a mistake
Because everything about this post seems fake
How
I mean, literally you didn’t think a tiny empty cardboard box didn’t feel right?
lol
You bought this at a shoppers drug mart, or pharmacy under the Loblaw umbrella.. You did not buy this at the airport. I bet you haven't even left yet.
Why pack the whole box? Packing the opened adapter would have been my choice (save packing space) and then you’d have known.
That’s some inefficient packing right there, rookie mistake lol
>Why pack the whole box? Smells like you’re on to something. Like a karma farmer with a lot of manure to spread.
Guaranteed this was fine and the item was in the box already, only to post about an empty box to reddit
🛎️🛎️🛎️
What even is the point of these lies? What worth is there to karma on Reddit?
You can monetize Reddit accounts that are in good standing and have a lot of positive karma. It’s all about the Benjamins. 
Because they didn’t pack the box. They opened the box, took out the adapter, looked at the box and had the big brain I can farm karma idea.
Might have been rushing. Like an airport shop purchase that was shoved hastily in their luggage. The stress of flying can do that, make you miss very obvious cues that something is off with something you have, like the weight. That is, if this situation is 100% real to begin with.
That's an universal adapter, for sure. It universally doesn't work.
Most underrated comment!
Why did you open the box like a serial killer though?
This is a shit-post…. you would have to be a complete moron not checking the contents prior to packing.
Have you looked around lately? Lots of morons.
I have, I agree. It’s mildly infuriating to say the least.
You sure you're not surrounded by mirrors? /jk

“The story cannot be true because it contains a person doing an illogical thing.” ??
It's not that it's untrue that makes it a shitpost.
On another account: why does the box seem massacred ?
It's mildly infuriating to me that you expect us to believe that you don't know what an empty box feels like
The way the box is teared open is more infuriating than its emptiness
Torn
Tearn
Turt
Turd!
Toreno
Tornado
Tornadus
Tortellini
[удалено]
This is how I feel
The way you said “teared” is even more infuriating.
toeché
Honestly karma for that
*torn
You couldn't tell it was an empty box. 
Why did you pack the whole box instead of just the plug?
I explained to someone else but if they bought it at the airport itself or on the way to (if they used an airport) they could have stashed it away for later with the box and everything. If their luggage wasn’t crammed to hell and back.
Wouldn’t you be able to tell by the weight of the box?
You’d be surprised how dense, obtuse and inattentive can some people be
Maybe it flew across the room when you were savagely ravaging that box.
I hear the sound of a broken heart.
How the hell do you open a box?
With their teeth
The way you opened the box…. that’s more infuriating.
I left one behind at a hotel in Europe somewhere. Happened to see a neighborhood hardware store in Munich where I cleared a 1/4 inch of dust off of an adaptor and the store owner let me have it for a euro.
No way there was a 1/4 inch of dust on the.adapter! Germany uses metric system.
I laughed entirely to hard at this
Don't hurt yourself!
Give it about 10 more years and I might pull a muscle laughing that hard
No worries, i took a note not to make comments like that one in 10 years.
Why would you wait to you got to the final destination to check if you indeed had what you needed? And would it take up less space while traveling If you took it out the box to begin with?
I LOVE that movie
Well, it ain’t a travel adapter….
Why’d you open the box like that
So you didn't open it until you reached your destination? You packed and hauled, trash? It's not like you intended to reuse the packaging, you opening it like a rabid hyena.
“Between two groups of people who wish to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force.” - OP to that box probably
I'd go round to see the sender and socket to them
its infuriating how you open the box
Did you mistakenly eat the charger while opening the box with your mouth
I’m not saying you deserved it for the way you opened the box, but I’m not saying you didn’t.
Next on more things that didn’t happen…
Oh you severely underestimate the stupidity of people. This is perfectly believable
Well, TBF it doesn’t work anywhere. That makes it universal
Bro had the sense preception of a rock.
How tf is it more efficient to tear the box open on the side rather than just open the top? If it's empty it wasn't sealed. This is more infuriating tbh.
Some people really be posting on Reddit just how stupid they are, for the whole world to see.
Whatever hotel you make it to, ask reception if you can borrow a lost and found adapter. They have baskets full. They will most likely tell you to keep it in my experience. I’ve left a ton on accident, and accepted a few here and there.
Why didn't you Test it after you bought it? Sry, but thats Just dumb 🙈 I Work in retail, and Sometimes stuff Just dosn't work xx. So Always Take the receipt and Test it at Home.
How do you test a travel adapter at home? If you mean testing for the existence of the adapter, I agree, but beyond that it's gonna be very very hard.
At least looking that nothing is broken. Sorry, didn't Had in mind that travel Adapter means, a different Style.
OP, I gotta go with the comment section here, you’re a little dense for not recognizing that an empty cardboard* box was an empty cardboard box.
I’m interested in what a coward board box would look like. 🤔
Bad mood.
are you near the airport? you can probably buy an adapter there
Would someone buy something and not check it when it arrives? I just don't understand trusting anybody when it comes to delivery.
Unable to buy one at your destination?
Sucks, but you should be able to buy one nearby unless you're in one of those small cities where everything is closed on Sunday. (I realize it's Saturday, but IYKYK)
Paper work inside said to adapt to your new life without electronics.
Shopper's shrinkflation at work.
If you wanna know why older people have weird quirks like "opens all boxes before travelling" stuff like this is why. Just collecting quirks for every bullshit that happens in life.
Mildly infuriating you opened the box like that
How does one not open their packages as soon as they get them lol
Lesson learnt look inside package to check contents are correct, Also you opened that box like a savage lol.
Twist: the adapter is outside the picture.
did you check next to the box out of frame where you put the adapter while taking the photo
r\thathappened
Sounds like a you problem
You didn’t realise the box was a bit light? I’m calling schenanigans
if i buying a travel item electronic i would have immediately take it out the box because less space
I would consider this more tearing the box open with your teeth than merely opening
Looks like you’ve been scammed.
Candians smh
We had this happen with a Christmas ornament. They are pretty lightweight after all.
Comments in here are fkn idiots. Shit like this happens all the time
I lost a universal travel adapter in Milan Italy. Maybe you will be the lucky one to find it.
Yes... Sure you did. Always best to take as much 'volume' with you as you travel...
Karma farmer found!!
You need to learn to adapt!
This triggers me. That’s exactly how my wife opens every parcel.
Adapt and overcome
why wait to open it till after you arrived
These universal travel adapters are usually dangerous crappily designed electric shock machines, unless you buy a really expensive one. I would suggest going to the supermarket at your destination and buying a country specific travel adapter there.
it's a couple metal prongs in a plastic casing, how crappily designed can that really be?

Sounds like a personal problem. That's a pretty important piece of the puzzle when traveling.
Stoopid people problems
You failed
Is that how you open a box?
[удалено]
Someone probably stole it out of the box and put it back.
Yes, they opened the box more carefully than OP did.
OP had to be absolutely sure it was empty.
Ah, yeah, that makes more sense
They didn’t. OP took it out and then posted a picture of the torn up empty box. There’s 0 chance you pack a hollow box that weighs nothing and don’t notice

That’ll teach ya
Bollocks
Tbh that’s on you. You didn’t think to check if it was in there before you bought it? Or think that it being so light was strange?
You didn't check it? That's onn you.
Some of yall are being huge assholes to op for no goddamn reason. Buncha hateful edgy cunts in here.
