Packaging Frustration!

I just got a paper cut from opening Sainsbury’s toilet roll.
Yes. Really 🤪

Other offenders are deli meats where it states OPEN HERE on one corner. Can you ever open them there? Can you buggery!

What packaging has got on your last nerve?

Trying to get kitchen scissors out of the sealed plastic,I ended up using a knife then the edge of the plastic was razor sharp.

Opening sachets of things like mayo or ketchup.

See also sachets of coffee.

Smol. Cancelled my subscription after yet another frustrating attempt to open a box of their laundry tablets.

Lentil crisps- the share bags. Whatever glue they use to seal the bags together make it impossible to open like you would a normal bag of crisps. Drives me nuts.

Any biscuits. Knife always needed, never able to ‘pull tab’

I absolutely also hate that everything has an extra bit of tape to seal both ends, then a second lid to peel off before you can use it etc.

Also hate the new sticky tabs on the rolls of wrapping paper.
Im sure I waste half the roll just opening it.
