I hate buying anything with sharp plastic packaging. You almost cut your fingers, if you try to wrestle it open. I always have to use really sharp scissors. I understand it's to make stuff harder to steal, but it's really annoying. I don't want bleeding fingers as I'm opening anything. shocked

I agree. I once had to buy scissors, but had no scissors to cut the package open. I ended up using a knife.

LOL I don't know about the drill, as I am not always that steady with my hands.

I hate child proof lids on bleach and other household items.... I have a very frustrating time opening them.

Hell, I can't hardly open a package of candy without a pair of scissors everything is so.... hermetically sealed.

Today I bought a gallon of bleach with a child proof cap. They quit carrying the one brand that did not have that damn cap. So I made the checker at the check out stand remove the blue child proof top leaving the black easy open top on the bottle.

Child proof my butt. If I had any children I could get them to open it for me, they consider it an honor and a challenge.

They should call them toddler proof caps because any "child" can open them. Its us old farts who have a hard time with them.

You have no kids around?

As an observation and personal opinion, I really do not like to see children being subjected to a world in which everyone in 'oh soooo politically correct'. The poor kids will never be able to deal with actual real life where no one or anything is artificially constructed and everyone is expected to perform like little marionettes in a play of make believe life. Many of those that I see in their early 20's already have severe problems copping with both people and situations that are not an artificial construct. When things happen that are 'incorrect' as far as they are concerned, they panic and run to someone that they can be coddled and and given a metaphorical bottle or soother to suck on until they feel the reality of politically incorrectness has abated or gone away into some other realm...they can't deal with reality or people who are not in the least interested in being politically correct but will be straight forward, honest and like a normal human being telling these cloud dwellers that Life sucks at times and when one looks for the good in people, most of the time you won't find any.
In their work places they won't even dare talk about real news events with others who don't parrot all the latest PC buzz words and names of things that they find 'disturbing' or 'unpleasant'. Talks about affairs, marriages, fashions and shopping must always be the dominant topics of conversations and everyone allowed to participate must re-enforce each other's world views that are like all bight and beautiful colours with sweet moronic elevator music always running through their little Soma infected minds like the people in Huxley's Brave New World.... God, they make me sick.

You tear along here and the bag rips completely open instead dumping the entire contents of said bag into your lap!
