My wife thought I was going to be one when she walked in the room and I was using the bayonet to work the plastic apart :lol:

Fuck, I hate that new shit where it's to pieces of plastic clamshelled together and then heat welded. You need some serious scissors to open them.

Who the fuck though that was a good idea? I think we need to heat weld their genitals together.

The scissors I have aren't that good to open that packaging (need to get new ones) so I have used a knife. No wonder people end up in emergency rooms. Probably for stitches.

I'm using a seam-cutter now, if things should be unpacked 'delicately'.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

We have shoplifters to thank for this! :2thumbsup: Tamper-evident packaging, benefit denial devices, electronic article surveillance, the whole box & dice.

I just bought an Xbox 360 the other day  :2thumbsup:, and opening the packaging for the hard drive I bought with it was extremely difficult to since my dominant arm is not fully functional at this time.
