Off-topic Packaging

I will personally, with my own two hands, murder whatever genius packaging engineer came up with those hateful hard plastic packages. I nearly lost a finger trying to get this damned mp3 player out for my mother.

Yeah, no matter how hard you try to cut those things open, they end up exploding all over the place.

Rest assured, whoever invented that means of packaging has a special place reserved for them in hell.

The sad thing is, it's probably some graduate of the MSU School of Packaging that designed the damn thing.

Just thank all the low-lifes that steal. That's the only reason why you can't get into those packages. Murder them instead........they're the scum of the earth.

I will be picking up those little silver twisty tie things for the rest of the day. It seems as if everything my 4 year old got this year was fastened into the packaging by them.

There are some toys that are fastened in with the silver twisties along with a couple of screws. Every year I set up a work station at the table consisting of kitchen shears, screw drivers and variety of batteries.

You shouldn't be giving mp3 players that come in those anyway. Get a Zune or ipod, and you won't have to worry about cheap packaging!
