One of the things I've noticed lately, perhaps because of my increasingly old age, or that I'm starting to get more demanding about my purchases, is that the packaging on these type of things is impossible to open without scissors or knives, and even then, it's terribly difficult to get at your merchandise. To me, your merchandise should be like Anx or a org female--just barely sufficiently packaged, with extreme ease of access, you know what I mean? I almost tore up my hands trying to get that shit out of it's case.  Ahem  That wasn't a denial! | |

 ...ahem....according to my sources*, the packaging on most electronic products is designed to prove just how retarded consumers really are....
*...the voices in my head... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

It's ridiculous how they package stuff. Sometimes I nearly break stuff just trying to remove it.
And it's not like it's Tylenol or some other product that people have tampered with in order to kill other people. It's headphones. First it was those cd's packaged in the tall plastic casing. Now it's everything. Every time I open something like that I say "thank god! It's still untampered with!" But I imagine someday being stuck in the desert and not being able to drink my emergency water supply because I don't have scissors.  My Legacy

I just bought a camera and memory card for it and it was almost impossible to remove both from the packaging. I used scissors first and that didnt quite work so then I used a knife and almost scratched my camera Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

Everything's tough to open. 
Like Prilosec. They act like it's nuclear waste in pill form.  | |

Definitely one of my best ever! you know?! or even worse, not being able to get into the bottle of KY because they don't allow scissors on planes. [Edited 6/17/07 19:49pm] My Legacy

dildo's actually are wrapped in packaging that's relatively easy to open and get at.
Just sayin' | |

 Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

moderatorWell the manufacturers need to do something about it because everytime I go and visit my grandmother, she has a long line of things she can't open because of her arthritis and half the time, neither can I!
I think in general packaging for audio items is appalling - I remember giving up trying to get a personal cd player out of its packaging once - it ruined a pair of scissors. Perhaps the nice European Union can draft up another Directive on it for us | |

I call those "bastard products" on the other hand, if you ever got a present from me you will know I am the queen of sticky tape - I am a "taper"  | |
