Today's Peeve Of The Day, Monday 30th January.

[Cunucu Beach]

It almost takes a pair of tin snips to open some of the plastic packaging today. And then there are the super flimsy boxes that shoes come in today. I remember the coffee cans that opened with a key. Those things were lethal!!

If the packaging doesn't do it the sharp knife we use to open it will.

You got that right Lark.

Good peeve, Jezer.

True, true, true!

I was opening a new bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup once and somehow managed to slice my thumb open and sever a nerve.

We're a Log Cabin family now.

Oh and the paper cuts from this packaging... Like most people I'd rather be bludgeoned with a dull knife than to get a paper cut.

Thanks for that tip motormaker.

Ah- paper cuts! How can something so innocuous be so painful?

Paper cuts are the worst!!!

My MIL wraps boxes she sends that take a year to open! OMG! Duct tape all around the box!!

I like popping bubble wrap if it comes in the box!
