Impossible packaging
Just used an 200 year old African ceremonial axe to open a can of corned beef. Don't these guys realise that I buy that stuff because I want to eat it. That I buy a mouse to use it. That I buy a toothbrush because I want to brush my teeth. Why not put it into something I can open.

Yeah it's the same with those little lock bags you get your weed in. You have to rip the top off the buggers to get at the goodys. In my day it was sold in a bit of twisted newspaper. I blame the parents.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I opened a can of tuna from the bottom once when I was intoxicated. Difficult to do, but I was proud of myself when I sobered up and ate the sandwich!

Reminds me of those tins with the tabs you have to pull, I always ended up with the contents spraying all over the kitchen wall...

There was something on the news a while back (possibly a year +) where a group of companies formed an alliance against bad packaging.

Re: Impossible packaging
That can drive me wild, especially with the smaller bags you have about a centimetre of bag to try and grab. My friend showed me an easy solution though, rather than try and pull it apart at the opening on the top.
Put your thumb and index finger sideways onto the bag, specifically on either side of that thicker plastic bit where it actually sticks then just push your finger down your thumb and the thing will open.
Packaging does annoy the crap out of me, I find quite a few of those boxes which you are supposed to be able to re-seal are rubbish. By the time I manage to get the box open all the carefully made tabs and the openings they go into are useless!

Reminds me...I broke a steak knife opening a clam shell package the other day. It was harder to open than a 20 pound catfish. : (

Just light the newspaper and you got a spliff, mon. You gonna Bogart that or you gonna pass it?
Back during the dark ages, around 1985, there was this new music media known as the cassette tape. It was much smaller than the 8-Track and could easily fit in one's pocket. To combat shoplifting some genius came up with this flexible plastic sleeve, about 18" long, that encase the cassette. When you bought that "must have" cassette of your favorite artist's new album you had to hack that stupid plastic sleeve off to play it.
On the way home from work one day I stopped to buy such a tape, and wanting my instant gratification yesterday, I tried cutting that sleeve off with my pocket-knife while driving down the road. Bad move. The knife slipped and I cut my left thumb to the bone. So instead of going home I end up driving to the emergency room for stitches, but at least I got to play my music on the way...
