I had to take a toothbrush and its electric base out of the wrapping today. I was close to tears before the ordeal ended. I had used a scissors and knife and small saw attempting to get the plastic to let me in. I was walking around the kitchen banging the damn thing on counters and using every four letter word…and more than a few five, six and seven letter words….I know. I had two cuts on my right hand from the plastic when I finally got in. What the hell are the geniuses who design packaging thinking? What are they afraid will happen to this plastic toothbrush and base that requires the kind of packaging the CIA could use to send top secret information around the world. No really….the Russians would have never broken any of our secret codes if first they had had to tear their way through what passes today for packaging.
I’m not a drinking woman but I think I need to go drink some vanilla or something to calm me down.
