Why are some board game boxes made so flimsily? Put the cover on wrong once and the box is trashed!

Why is some of the plastic packaging on some items so hard to remove? Almost need tin snips and pliers to get some of it off!

Why do some stores put the price stickers over important bits of information?

Why did it take me five full minutes to open up a new mascara package yesterday?

Perhaps when it's items wrapped in the heavy plastic, it is to prevent opening for shoplifting.

Funny, my husband always says that the package is welded shut - so that is what we always say - you need a torch to open it up.

Sometimes I think the packaging costs more than the original item!

Yes! I buy CDs and DVDs to enjoy them, not to cuss at them!
