Nice going, you two. I applaud the civility.
I have a bunch of pet peeves. All of them have bugged me for years and one in particular is the
bane of my existence.
The packaging industry, more specifically, when you "TEAR HERE" and end up reaching for the scissors
because it tears too long and won't open, or too short and there is nothing you
can get your fingers on. "EASY OPEN" is another sick, twisted joke and everybody knows it.
Sometimes the machines put too much adhesive on the bags and an Olympic weightlifter couldn't open
them. Others, there isn't enough and the zipper detaches from the rest of the bag rendering it useless and
you've got to break out the sandwich bags or whatever.
It's quite upsetting, because when bags/boxes work it is a thing of beauty, nice clean tear and no effort and when it doesn't
it creates a hellscape mess in plastic or cardboard and my personal sense of dignity and humanity is totally
violated.
A related issue which sometimes makes me doubt my manhood is, for instance, a microwaveable cup of brown rice
with a plastic seal at the top. Who can get those things off? I wonder if I need testosterone or if my hands are
winter dry. The rice is good and convenient, but is it worth the humiliation? Still worse, I wonder if everybody else
just rips them off with no effort. [cue echo effect] Maybe it is only me-e-e-e [/end echo effect}
I swear.....when I become the Overlord of Humanity those fuckers will pay. I swear it.
