Modern wrapping is the
subject of my latest grump. I tried to get an item out of its plastic
moulding but, finding no way of separating the upper from the lower
part, I cut across the top with a pair of scissors. I then prised
them apart, only to discover that the item was still imprisoned in
some kind of stiff paper. No, it doesn't peel off. It never does. You
have to plunge the point of your scissors into it, and pull the paper
apart messily. Why? Why all this wrapping? After all, the item was
only a quartet of AA batteries. What are they being protected
against? Don't the manufacturers WANT me to get at the batteries?
I haven't had such
frustrations since my adolescence, when I broke fingernails trying to
open bras one-handed while distracting the girl at the front with
appoximately-aimed kisses. At least the little sweethearts weren't
imprisoned in plastic, you didn't need scissors to open 'em up.

What a comparison!!
You are right. It's not me, you know, it's my fevered imagination that produces these comparisons.
