I nominate the little plastic collar that goes round the lid of shop-bought houmous. It has a perforated 'tag' so you can unzip it, but the tag only works part way down, and then breaks off. I then end up creating two or three circles of plastic and attacking it with scissors.

The vacuum packs that fish come in! I just want my bleeding salmon.. I don’t need to hack this half to death and invariably stab myself with the scissors!

Everything that comes in the pack along with a new folded shirt.
17 concealed pins (possibly 18 but the 18th is not found until a later date, post-wash), little shrimplike plastic clips, random cardboard loops.

@IntermittentParps

Ringpulls on cans of pulses, tomatoes etc. ALWAYS break off, and then the cans prove oddly resistant to opening with a can-opener.
This is an old thread that I already posted on but my top top for you is turn them upside down before you open them with the tin opener.

MS Teams hates me so I hate it back. Take that, Microsoft!
