Packaging injuries

Facking hell, why does a paper cut hurt so much!
DC11 also nearly sliced their finger off opening a bottle of sparkling water, on one of the ragged plastic bits.

Anyone else been at wars with seemingly innocuous packaging items?

Paper cuts are the worst!

I haven't had to open one of those stiff plastic clamshells in a while but those were completely lethal. Even with scissors it was impossible and the sharp edges could slice an artery!

They are indeed @Moen !

@Xiaoxiong and sometimes, some bright spark think it's clever to package scissors inside those clam shells.
I have also cut myself on those Danish pastry clam shells.
Lethal!
