My moan about plastic wrapping

    Why why why do companies have to wrap everything in plastic that is impossible to open unless you hack at it with a pair of scissors, or cut half your hand off attacking the contents with a knife in an attempt to get the product open?

    Ink for my printer, head phones I just bought, batteries etc etc all wrapped in layers of thick plastic with no way in!

    Note to manufactures:

    My new headphones are not made a cheese or have any food content that I am aware of, they will not go off if they get air to them. Please, save my hands, my teeth, my sanity and the planet into the bargain, stop wrapping them as if you are building a Chieftain tank! :mad:


    Am I alone here or do others get driven up the wall by this?

    I hate that too! It's a sad statement of the world however. The reason they do that is to deter theft!
