There’s Nothing More Irritating…
…than rushing out the door with family in tow, late for an appointment, only to have your toddler throw a conniption because his favorite toy train he wanted to bring along isn’t working. Taking a deep breath, you rush inside to grab a few batteries only to encounter the product packaging from hell.
After struggling with this thing for a minute I finally broke down and whipped out the carving knife and hacked my way in.
Listen, if you’re going to produce a product with a perforated flap, could you perform a few quality assurance tests to verify that it actually works? After all, you’re not protecting gold bouillon, state secrets, or your sister’s virginity. These are batteries. Nothing more. Please don’t demand that consumers pass a Mensa test before being granted access to your product.
And in my heart of hearts I sincerely hope that there’s a special place in Hell for companies who seal their products inside indestructible blister packs. These razor sharp things are nothing short of a vile, viscous evil, and have no place in civilized society.
*deep breath*
Whew. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel much better now….
