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?

Because...... They can?????

I agree, some things are so blasted hard to open!!

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!

Even that doesn't stop some people!

Amazing - they take the item and leave the packaging!

i think the stores should open the packages for us before we leave the store.

When my kids were younger and had tons of those board games, I always taped the corners before they used them. Gave htem support. Shame we had to do that. You know they can make better boxes. I like the old games coming out in new tin boxes. Finally. LOL
