A drunk man from Qingdao, eastern China, woke up in a sealed shipping container that was one hour away from a two-week-long journey to LA, following a night of heavy drinking.

The unidentified man had mistaken the container for his B 'n' B and had to call the police to get out, Stuff.co.nz reported.

A police spokesman said that the container was sealed and he couldn't get out, so he called everyone he knew for help.

The rep asserted that that the guy couldn't tell them which container he was in as there were thousands of them stacked on top of each other.

Later, the cops followed the hammering sounds that the man was making and found him in a container stacked 18 metres in the air.
