Things that confuse you.

It has come to the point that I cannot understand why or how I can undo certain items in packaging.
I end up cutting it to bits with sizzors!
Tear here! It doesn't work!
Open here, where?
I think I have entered the age of confusion.

What confuses you?

Re: Things that confuse you.

Most annoying is the large plastic containers of milk that have that circle of plastic stuck to the opening , yesterday I had to hack at it with a sharp knife to get to the milk . I just could not tear it off

Technology.
Anything remotely to do with fixing technical things that go wrong.


UJ, I agree with you about those dreadful little condiment satchets.
The ones with little cut out indications of where to tear are sometimes alright, but those with no marking on them are worse than useless.

Also, how to open these sealed rigid plastic packets, like a new toothbrushes for example.


I think this thread will get confused with the 'What annoys you' thread.

It is not just me then.
I suppose getting confused, can get you annoyed to.
However I get confused just ordering a MacDonald for my son, not annoyed just confused.

Those things!!!
Too much adhesive or whatever they use.
Now I am confused about what they use.
