Ok... Another bored woman thread... however, just got a new pair of scissors, cannot for the life of me get into the sealed polywhatever packet .. irony is need the contents to open the bloody thing !!

Daren't use me teeth, might pull out the bridge, could try my lighter, but would probably set the house on fire .. electric carving knife ? nah, finished up with stitches last time. Think will go next door and ask to borrow their scissors.

Know it is all good these days, but sometimes, well ! .. took me full 10 mins to open a biscuit wrapper at work t'other day, eh and try and get into those coffee sticks in hotels these days. Think Mr. Bean would have a ball .. tee hee.
 
That packaging is a pain in the neck.. How elderly arthritic people manage to open anything these days is beyond my comprehension..:rolleyes:

Hehehe, maybe you should have just borrowed next door's scissors in the first place. It would have saved you a couple of quid..:D
 
The worst packaged items have got to be childrens toys, I needed a phillips screwdriver and wire cutters to get tinky winky out of his box at christmas :idunno:

I have this problem also, Why do manufacturers of kids toys insist on not only philips screws but plastic twiddly bits of wire? It's no joke for the parents, of excited kids, trying to open a toy car/doll e.t.c and finding out you need a screw driver so small that the child has to wait till next day when you can go & buy 1 as happened to me in the past!
 
I know we all like things in secure packaging but things do go over the score. Tools required for opening packaging; stanley knife scissors screw drivers pliers wire cutters oh and patience by the tanker full. Does anyone have a reason for this?

Expect it's all about health and safety Spuggie... but still :confused:
Worst thing I ever did, although not heavily packeged you understand, was to open my carton of wine one day. You know the perforations in a circle you press down to reveal the tap underneath. Couldnt do it to save me life ! Think nails too long .. so got out the sharp knife.. yep you got it .. went through the wine bag sob, sob .. never done that one since. :eek:
 
The moral of the story is to buy a bottle. Mind the cork screw though and dont drop the bottle.

Of course !! Had me worried for a while there, meant something else when I was little tee hee.

I think those inaccessible blister packs are designed to stop people nicking the contents when they're hanging up in the shop.
