I hate this f'ing plastic packaging everything gets put in these days! Practically sliced my fingers off trying to get an electric tooth brush out of it!!!

Why do they use it ?!?! Surely it is less expensive to just put items in cardboard boxes with cardboard inserts wrapping it ? Never mind being better for the world! Why armor plate it so even Godzilla would choke to death trying to open it ?!?!?

Bah!!!!

Would you want one that had been cleaned and put back in the package? It provides consumer protection for hygiene related items. Use scissors. Carefully mind.

Some people find it odd that I buy frustration free packaging from amazon. This is a perfect example.

What do you do with all the leftover frustration?

Yeh just the other day I cut myself trying to open MicroSD card packaging and sometimes it is like you need to replace a weight set with packaging to get a good workout.

Now *that* sounds like a win-win: productive, environmentally friendly, *and* great exercise.

I bought a key safe, I forget the brand. The packaging was so hard to get into I had to use my sheet metal cutters to get into the plastic. I emailed the company congratulating them on producing such a secure product, but pointed out that it was meant to protect keys inside it, not protect it from being used by the people who purchased it.
