Popular Post Coop 7466 Posted January 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15 For me, it’s trying to open a band-aid wrapper. It’s not like you happen to decide to try and see which end to open from. Occasionally there is blood flowing and you don’t have the three minutes it takes to decide which end to peal from and then get the the two sides separated to start the process. At least the whisper thin plastic bags from Kroger tells you which end to start the fight. At least put a bright red arrow pointing to START HERE AND GOOD LUCK, Just my vent! 5 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick S 2608 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Hope it heals soon! Bagged coffee closures. I like Dunkin Donuts coffee, but the bags it comes in are so hard to open that I've stopped trying. I started cutting them open and dumping it in a jar. And if you get the bigger quantities it comes in a huge single use plastic container. I've switched to bulk beans and grind it myself. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post wtnhighlander 7589 Posted January 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15 Coop, I gave up long ago, and started just ripping the Band-Aid wrapper down the middle. The bandage inside (usually) remains undamaged. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tpt life 2765 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I still have kids around most of the time. I ask one of them to open it when my fingers are affected or are putting pressure on a bleeder. My days without them are coming soon though... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chestnut 5521 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Paper towel holders in bathrooms that are above shoulder height. You wash your hands and then reach up to grab a paper towel to dry you hands and end up with wet forearms. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardA 5026 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 People driving that have no clue as to what the lines on the road mean. My neighbor last night told me when he was coming home from town that a fairly new pick up truck tried to pass on a double yellow line and had no choice but to hit the ditch or my neighbor head on. He chose the ditch and got his first flying lesson. My neighbor shook his head and continued home. Idiots don't require anyones help other than the police. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post legenddc 441 Posted January 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15 Shower heads that I can't stand completely under. I hate having to duck in my own shower so I don't hit the shower head with my head. Since you brought it up, those grocery bags didn't use to bother me until you stopped being able to lick your fingers to open them. 3 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I would like to drive to your house, hand over cash and hope what you say is true I'll just take the risk of going to the store and buying a brand new one for cheaper... 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is pretty good, but more than that it is kind of a family thing. My mom's uncle grew popcorn, thousands of acres of the stuff and sold the crop to Jolly Time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Ronn W 1614 Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16 Those resealable bags the you have to tear open the first time. They always tear so the the 2 layers are perfectly aligned so you cant' separate them the next time the dog wants a treat. People who think that every quiet moment must be filled with talking - sometimes quiet is OK. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardA 5026 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Yeah, that packaging change kinda pissed me off today. I bought a whole pork loin, and getting the package open was a struggle. Some of the packaging has gone a little overboard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
