"Easy open" containers that aren't. The tab rips off early and the box has to be cut/ripped open the rest of the way...
The ones that get me are ones that have a ziplock re-closure like what shredded cheese comes in. I don't know how they do it, but they're very difficult to open, then when the ribs DO let go, it's all of a sudden and half the contents of the bag are all over the counter. :mad:

So how did that work out for you?
Gave him a piece of my mind, towed truck to another dealership knowing we will never give them our business for 50-60k vehicles. Still no truck but that's ok with me I said something got peace with myself and stood up for my wife (which imo most should) For the time being I'm enjoying driving my winter beater and repairing the rockers on my older 3/4 ton when I get free time.

I don't even try to use the tab any more. It's much more satisfying to just to the box open. If it is soggy, all the more reason to ignore the useless pull tab. I think the pull tab is some sort of marketing gimmick. It's obvious the manufacturer never used their own products.

Yea! They want to make things like milk, yogurt & cheeze "child-proof"
Our country's maniacal obsession with safety packaging has gone off the rails. Maybe that's due to packaging engineers desperately trying to justify their jobs, now that all the methods have been figured out.

Either that or maniacal ambulance chasers who will litigate over a hangnail.

Last week, like 4 calls before 7am and a text, "call me back as soon as possible, we have a question" from a contractor. We'll, he annoyed me enough that I waited till about 8:30 to call him back. "We figured it out, never mind". Well, maybe next time read the stinking plans before you call 4 times right in a row.

To me, two or three calls in rapid succession means someone is dead or dieing.

It took me until I was a few years from retirement to figure out that nothing in my job was really an emergency. A person trapped in a car and bleeding out is an emergency. An arbitrary date some project manager put on a spreadsheet is not an emergency.

Tis the season, tonight indulging in Xmas candy canes realized how annoying it is to unwrap them and if you do think you successfully managed to unwrap it I always seem to have pieces of candy cane wrapper plastic stuck to my teeth.
