Granted. You place the people in the box, but you have to shrink them first. The shrinking process is very prolonged and requires you to buy expensive shrinking equipment that completely bankrupts you. You are forced to move back in with your parents, who are extremely annoyed by the intrusion, and don't want to put your box on their shelves. They stick the box in the back garden, where it is rained on until the cardboard comes apart, and all the annoying people get out. But now they are only a few inches tall, which makes them entirely dependent on you, and therefore even more annoying. Eventually you try to make money by putting all the people in a sort of zoo, where zoogoers can stare at them living their daily lives. This plan fails, because the government expects to approve any functioning zoos, and they think yours is unethical for some reason. You spend the rest of your life babysitting tiny humans in your parents' back bedroom.
I wish none of my siblings made stupid decisions.
