Wrap rage

Ever tried to take a Barbie doll out of its packaging? It takes a degree in civil engineering and a couple of stiff drinks.

:rofl: :techman: Sounds about right.

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie

Sweet, I'm qualified to do that then!

:lol: Seriously, you could charge people and they'd happily pay. I'm so glad my daughter hasn't had in interest in Barbies for several years.

I know styrofoam is great for keeping items safe and snug in their packaging, but I cannot stand the feel or sound of the stuff. Christmas morning when I was younger usually involved one of my brothers chasing me around the house rubbing two pieces of styrofoam together. Ah, sibling love. :vulcan:
 
You know what’s gross, though? When you buy a one-pound bag of white rice, put it on the shelf, don’t open it, and weeks later there are little bugs inside. The eggs were sealed INSIDE the damn bag! You’re eating bug eggs when you cook the rice. Sealing is pretty useless there. Same thing happens with Rice-a-Roni. NEVER buying it again.

Well, now I know what the "treat" is ;)

Wow. That's never happened to me. Did you complain to the place where you bought the rice? Pretty sure that's not kosher.
 
Just last week.. i bought an Xbox battery pack charger for the wireless controller and it was sealed in this hard plastic container for which you need good scissors.

After cramping my hand cutting through the thick plastic i was rewarded with a hard plastic casing that enclosed the charging pack and to open it you had to break it apart it with a screwdriver (according to official instructions.. i kid you not!).

It was then that i entered the red zone and ripped the fucker apart with bare hands.. felt so satisfying ;)

If you need to get your tool box to open some packaging something is truly wrong in the scenario.
 
It takes all my self-control not to turn this one into a stupid sex joke. *rubs temples*

Removing condoms from their packaging and putting them on properly ain't that hard, bro.
Tell that to my ex. She didn't lack experience (heh, understatement of the week), but she was all like fumbling and like "you unpack it, I can't do it, oh nvm just forget about it".

That'd drive me insane! Wow. Ironically, before I bought those clamshell scissors I linked earlier in the thread, I bought another gadget that was supposed to do the same thing, only it was pretty cheaply made and it broke. Well, it was in clamshell packaging itself. Go figure.


This clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm sums up clamshell packaging perfectly. I feel his pain. Though I should mention there's some language in that clip.

Has anyone here seen or used one of these?

I'm ashamed to admit that I actually injured my wrist last week---by trying to open a jar of spaghetti sauce.

Although, I think that says more about me than the jar.....

Throughout my life I've been used as a human can opener by every female I've known. :lol:
 
^^^ The fact that there are special cutters just to get in to this packaging makes me certain there's a goddamn conspiracy goin' on.

The cutters are probably made by the same companies that make the packaging.

I'm definitely one of those that gets riled up trying to get into difficult packaging and even when I get a piece of tape stuck to my finger and I can't get it off.
 
What drives me bananas are those over-the-counter medications where each pill is individually sealed in its own little foil-backed bubble pack. Half the time the thing doesn't peel apart like it's supposed to and you end up extracting the pill with an X-acto knife. I assume this packaging was a response to the Tylenol tampering scare back in the '80s, but frankly, I'd rather take the infinitesimal risk of some sick fuck spiking my anti-doo-doo medicine with poison.

Am I the only one who, in nerdish anticipation, dyslexically mis-read the title of this thread as "Warp Rage"?
No.

Think of it as extra protein.
 
My pills from the new pharmacy come in a bottle that's horrible to open. I've always been bad at opening things, but even my husband thinks the bottle is ridiculous. I dread taking my meds every night just because I know I'll have to do battle with a child safety cap first.
 
^^ Your pharmacy should give you the option of a regular, non-child-proof cap. If it doesn't, switch to another pharmacy.

How about you open it once and either leave it uncovered or place the lid on top but don't secure it, that's what I do with child proof lids. :bolian:
