Those little perforations.
Got me car tax today. Why, oh why, can I never take this disc out of its casing without ripping chunks out of it ?
Every year I think ... get you ya' so-and-so this time (have softened the wording for the site), but no ... fail :( Better luck next year. Same with cheques (ok .. won't be many for long), finish up with a bit more or less. What's the world coming to when we can't get our perforations up to quality ? I do muse though about people who have lots of ear piercing on their lobes ... wonder if I sort of pull it ... would I get a chunk of their ear .. tee hee. |
Re: Those little perforations.
I get annoyed with those perforations in metal bottlecaps.
They are meant to break open when you unscrew - they never do for me. I end up sawing the top off with the breadknife. |
Re: Those little perforations.
Eew, yes, Margaret ... have had to do exactly the same on many occasions, then it finishes up with bits sticking out and you are in danger of slicing your finger off ! Mind you, seem to get super human strength when it is a bottle of wine ... :D
Mind you, want to try selling raffle tickets ... now there is a challenge. |

I always open the new one as I am going to bed, then the bottle is ready for first thing next morning! ;) |

Re: Those little perforations.
I find the tax discs a challenge too. Takes me ages them things!!
Not so bad with cheques etc but when I was getting the healthy start vouchers (formerly milk tokens) because of where the paper was folded in the envelope It was hard to keep to the perforations and not the fold in the paper. Have found the same with some reply slips / cheques received in the post. They can be a little fiddly Bottles annoy me (and its not the dt's i dont drink haha) mainly some drinks bottles and the medicine / lotion bottles with the metal lids |
Re: Those little perforations.
And what about those little sachets of Salad dressing/brown sauce/tomato ketchup......it instructs you to 'tear here' but even teeth sometimes fail to do the job......I now carry a little pair of scissors in my handbag....it is safer....unless you want to wear the sauce that is!
