Everyone tells me that I gripe about lots and lots of stuff. You know what I have to say to "everyone?" B*** me.

My gripes can come straight to you!

There's no excuse for...hard plastic packaging.

I get boxes. I get plastic zip-lock style bags for things like tortillas and cheese (the kind you can find in the cheese section anyway...). I get cans and glass bottles. I even get those crazy pouches they decided to start putting tuna in. But you know what I don't get? I don't get this hard plastic sh*t:

I mean, really, what the f***? Not only do I feel like a bear trying to claw my way into an oyster or something whenever I come across this stuff, but doesn't it always seem to be reserved for delicate items like like light bulbs and computer cords that, in an ideal world, you would want to be careful with when opening? I mean, if I'm shelling out $80 plus shipping for a new computer cord, the last thing I want to be using to get it out of the package it comes in is a f***ing buck knife. The sh*t doesn't tear, it doesn't bend, and, whoever came up with it decided to solder the two halves together to make it nearly impossible to rip or separate at the seams! It's f***ing ridiculous!

Inventing crap like this must be how the parking lot design guy spends his free time. Luckily, I spend my free time filling up socks with AA batteries - that is, when I can get them out of the f***ing package - just for guys like that.

  2. Not to mention that if you try to tear it open, you usually end up with a 1/4" deep gash in the bend of one of your fingers or right across your palm. Risk of death should not be considered when opening a package.
