Why packaging makes me violent !

I hate that kind of packaging!! One of my friends sliced thier finger open trying to get into a DVD, and I've come close a few times... Whats wrong with a bit of cardboard or a tab that you could pull off to open the rest of the packet? Surely not beyond the brains of packaging designers!

packaging is the bane of my life, not helped by the fact i have arthritic hands/fingers. food packaging and non-food items as well. a bottle of milk can take me ten mins to open. its very frustrating.

I hate that plastic packaging that is heat sealed at the edges and you need stiff pair of scissors to open up, it makes me cringe because the plastic is so tough, and one slip and you can stab yourself, it should be banned

Thanks all for your comments - I am not ham fisted but I will admit to impatient - especially good to hear from other sufferers- loved the scissor story. On a serious point do you think it would be Ok to ask the retailer to open the package for me if I forsee difficulties - has anyone ever done this ?

i do all the time, espec ially if its a bottle of medcine thats got the child safety cap on it. my local pharmacist puts medcine into an easy open bottle for me now without me even asking.

tablets are the bane of my life at the moment. trying to get them out of the foil pack has recently become impossible.
