Wrap rage?

First there was road rage, then air rage, now wrap rage. How much frustration can a person take? Seriously, I do remember when my daughter was young how upsetting it was to try and open some of the ridiculous packaging that items came in, but we just got this little tool and I have never had much of a problem since.

  1. I always figured that the bomb proof plastic wrap on consumer items was to make them harder to steal. You can't casually open them, you can barely open them at all!

    As a person who does not steal, this makes me angry. More of the "something for nothing" people making my life more expensive and difficult. I am past fed up with those folks.

  2. That is a nice little tool. I've always hated blister packs, but it looks like that tool will chomp them up easily.

  3. I have a variety of knives and hammers and hacksaws and other tools either in my toolbox, or in, or on my desk, so, opening packages has not been a problem for me.
    Of course, my friends question my sanity when they see all the knives and multi-tools and my big toolbox. But, when they need a problem solved, guess who gets called.

  4. "Blister pack" should not be a description of what the consumer is left with!

  5. They need to pack it tight because it's just too wonderful for you to sully once you get your grubby hands on it.

    Keep filthy fingers away from product for as long as possible.

    Why not prolong the suspense and anticipation ???

  6. I love my Buck knife. I really love the look on people's faces when I slice through the plastic crap which is wrapped around every little thing.

    Thank goodness there wasn't any plastic wrap around my Buck knife.

  7. I don't know, I've always found Rap to be full of rage, also hatred, violence and misogyny.


    ... oh, wait! Sorry, misunderstood the post...

  8. I'm with Daniel; I have several small pocket box-cutters, pliers, screwdrivers, and wire cutters here. I'm good. :)

    Did anyone else notice something odd about a couple of the toys listed? The Fisher-Price pirate ship and Matchbox shuttle, to be exact.

    The pirate ship has cannon which "really work," while the shuttle playset includes an alien so "Kids can use their imagination to create intergalactic space fights."

    Where are the safety-nazis on this? Why aren't they demanding a 10-day waiting period to get pirate cannon? Where's the space alien's green card? (ok, I know that one, it's in his green ship; heh)

    Why isn't Darth Obama DOING something!?
