Guest Tracker Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Here are just two examples of inventions that really help to make life more difficult. The person who devised the impossible to remove plastic film wrapping on cds needs to be warmly shaken by the neck until comatose. The person who devised the selotape sealing method that supermarkets use to seal their 'freshly baked?' loaves of bread also needs to be warmly congratulated in a similar fashion. There must be many more similar examples of triumphs of lunacy over common sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Any jar of anything you buy now has the lid on so tightly it takes at least a 17 stone man to get if off, I stand no chance >:-) Carol, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Blister packs of most things you buy from Poundland that you have to hack with scissors to get into, then find you have now cut the instructions into confetti-sized pieces *-) ps Carol - I prise the jar lid with the handle of a teaspoon to release the vacuum before opening. Works for me ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 So that's your excuse for the Postman visiting in the morning ... to get the top off your jam jar ..... :D ;-) Squeezy sauce etc bottles where the plastic is so hard you can't squeeze it! 8-) Toothpaste tubes made out of plastic that return to their shape when you've used them so that every time you watn to get the last few squirts out you have a fight on your hands in the morning. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
