cooperlola Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ah, packaging.... Why are those which have "Facile a ouvrir" printed on them, always impossible to open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Quite right, I used to at least give them a try, a bit off a tug/snap/tear/whatever, but now I'm wiser and just go straight for the sharp knives. And what about the dishwasher tablets that just drop straight to the bottom of the dishwasher without dissolving, they shrug off just enough detergent to leave an oozing, gooey mess over whatever was beneath the dispenser.And why are needles so hard to thread nowadays?

Cat Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 But we have to sew don't we, 'cos they sew buttons on using a cunning system that manages to hold each one on using a single thread, that doesn't actually seem to be attached to anything [6]And why so many sticky labels on new windows, and just what do they make that glue out of, that neither white spirit nor acetone will remove it?

londoneye Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Not so much the 'easy open' ones, because as already mentioned, gave up on those years ago; out come the scissors and job done.It's the (normally dog food) 'fresh seal' ones that do my head in. You need the 20/20 vision of an airforce pilot coupled with the dexterity of touch of a top surgeon in order to get the stupid edges lined up and even then half away across the packet, the first end normally pops out. Actually as of yesterday gave up on them as well, and armed myself with two pegs to close the stupid packet !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauffour Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 beans...well depend how many i eat [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Glad to know you are full of beans. I do think they mean wind as in what you do to clocks and not wind as in gusts of air (refreshing or otherwise). But, keep eating those beans as I believe they are very good for you.Back on topic: pull rings where the ring stays attached to the top before the top is separated from the tin.

Then I have to stick my hands in icy cold greasy water, to get the dishes back out, and, adding insult to injury, then follow a above. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Zips that don't zip, "hoovers" that don't hoover (anything bigger than a grain of rice gets stuck in the tube, so have to dismantle it and try to send something through the tube to unblock it, then that often gets stuck in there as well!), people who accelerate when you try to overtake.
