CIBER BLADE, where are you?

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again.... CLAMSHELL PACKAGING! RRRRRRRRRRAR!!! Whose brilliant idea was it to make the damn packages impossible to get into? And once you start to make headway, the plastic is all sharp and dangerous and stuff.... ARGH! Damn you, Virgin Mobile.... DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!

Ahem.

It's a KITTY! Here's the full-sized version:

I feel your pain, Diya. I hate those things too. The only way to open those things is to cut them and then what do you do if you want to return the product?

The leftover aircraft carrier tie-down cables that they use in every toy package drive my insane. I have found, however that toenail clippers are surprisingly good at cutting through those.

Also, Hiya.

Hiya honeybunches!

Yeah, get this. So we get a Virgin Mobile phone for work, right? It's pay-as-you-go... but we need it to see if their network is capable of plotting emergency calls properly, right? So we get the cheapest phone and I completely destroy the packaging in the process of getting it out. Well, it turns out, that phone sucks. Never plots. So we call customer service all, "Hey, why does your manual say this works when it so clearly doesn't?" Them: "Uh.... we'll call you back." (Of course, they haven't) So in the meantime, we can't return the other phone. We had to go buy the more expensive phone... the packaging of which I only MOSTLY destroyed this time. And I'm trying to keep all the junk in it... like the manual, terms of service, etc.... so it's extra dangerous. RRRRAR! Luckily, there's another, less sharp clamshell inside the super dangerous clamshell.... Hopefully I can just use that.

But isn't that crappy? We can terminate service, but we're stuck with this crappy phone. Maybe we can donate it to someone.... but that may be unlikely considering our non-profit status (more rules than you can imagine concerning where our old & used stuff goes). Just....

I can help you with that stinkin' packaging....

You need to have a pair of these curved scissors. I have a pair that is very close to these and they cut through that stuff very nicely. The reason they work so well is because of the curve in the blades. It especially makes going around corners a snap. Another benefit is you can trim around the sealed part just enough to allow access to the goods inside. That way you can take the thing back to the store and most of the package in intact. I also used to use them to cut out decals and they are slick for that kind of stuff as well. Works for righties or lefties.

OK...I was sure it said: "I will FIND you!" and there was a mouse (which is actually the kitty's paw)....guess it loses something in translation when you shrink it so much.

So, I know we were doing so good on not having any peeves for a bit, but I have one today...not a major one, but a peeve just the same. How many people feel that it is OK for an adult (mid-thirties to early forties) to begin a sentence with: "Oh yeah?! Well, I think you are a(n) [insert immature insult here]!!! I mean seriously??!! They are kidding right? No one over the age of ten should use that phrase!! WTF???
