What Is Wrong With This Picture?

(My apologies to anyone who was expecting an actual picture.)

I bought a tool called the OpenIt (as seen on television, though I've never actually seen it on television) designed to open those titanium blister packs that everything comes wrapped in.

And, while I know this is predictible, it came in a package that required a large bolt-cutter and an industrial grinder to open.

If I ever buy another one, though, I have the tool to open it.

Okay, here's an actual picture.

That's ironic, it comes packaged in the stuff its supposed to open. On Christmas morning that would definately come in handy! Those Barbie boxes are near impossible to open!!! And of course, my daughter is looking at me like "why is it taking soooo long to get the doll out."

Hahahaha!! Doesn't that just drive you INSANE!

A few weeks ago I bought a memory card for my camera......and OMG, I'm surprised I didn't destroy it trying to get it out of the package. This tiny little plastic memory card plastered in about 2lbs of maximum security packaging.

Oh, I hate those. I literally broke a pair of scissors trying to cut a package open once.

I just use sheetmetal snips that you can find at Oshard or Home Depot in the tool section. I have a lot of them as I work in HVAC. So I just took an old one and started using it for that. works like a charm.

I use my Joyce Chen kitchen scissors. They cut through anything, including wire I do think it's funny that they package them in that.

I went to sprint last month to get an accessory for my phone... and they actually offered to open the package for me!!! It was quite nice not to have to struggle with it!

Re: What Is Wrong With This Picture?

That's too funny. Reminds me of the bloody and painful hands I experience every Christmas morning. I hate that packaging.
