Go into any electronics, computer or drug store and buy something that weighs less than 2 lbs. and it's packed in a clear wrapping of plastic thicker than a 1957 Ford fender. Tonight I broke the tip off the end of a $20 German steel pairing knife trying to open the plastic coating of a USB extension cord.

jebus...maybe that should wrap the Space Shuttle in this cr&p to eliminate the heat shield problem.

Keeps people from stealing the contents. But yes, very very annoying.

You know what bugs me?

Escalators, where the stairs and handrail don't move at the same speed

I wonder how many people have been injured while trying to open one of those clear, hard plastic containers. >0, I'm sure.

Agreed.
Having to use a pair of tinsnips to open simple objects is VERY annoying

I hate when you go to your heavy duty methods of opening the package and you end up cutting the directions in half or in multiple peices.

Always....its either the Ninja throwing star razor sharp edges in the plastic or the tool your using to open it.

Even a monkey would say "You want me to open that with what? GO **** yourself." (Thats if they could talk)
