People get mad and thats fine but when anger hurts others, (animals or people), then your just a piece of shit. ......At least you took the cat to the vet ..................but still....................your stupid.

If you fold the pack as uch as possible, u can create a weak point and burst. you can then pull it apart. If you need the box pristine then don't do this. Also, it is noisy, so don't do it in a library, as I did!! I did it!! If you fold the pack as uch as possible, u can create a weak point and burst. you can then pull it apart.

They would not let me incase I held up the tore with their scissors... If I had wanted to do that I would surely have brought my own?!

Ever tried to open some of those over the counter kryptonite case enclosed medications? I know they are plentiful here in Dallas and I can only imagine how many are on shelves throughout the country. Every time I have to reach for my Allergy Relief pills I go through hell trying to get them open. At first I tried a hammer and chisel and then a hacksaw and finally found out that the only tool that works is a Black and Decker High Performance RTX Three Speed Rotary Tool! Unfortunately, these are NOT included in the package and must be purchased separately along with the below attachments: #1 Circle Cutter— "allows the operator to cut perfect circles in almost any building material." #2 Grinder, Cut Off, Sander and Polisher Attachment— "allows the operator to grind, cut sand or polish a wide variety of materials." #3 Guided Bits— "allows the operator to cut wallboard around electrical boxes without damaging the box." Since these pill manufacturers have no disclaimer on their label stating that the pills can not be accessed without the purchase of these tools, a class action lawsuit is obviously in order. I propose getting together and formulating our class action lawsuit plans which would obviously result in a quick and substantial judgment in our favor. We could then FORCE these devious manufacturers to include a rotary tool AND attachments with every purchase of over the counter kryptonite enclosed pills! While you're busy taking care of that, I'll take the funds from the judgment and travel to other locations in the world and seek out other opportunities to extend our stand for the common man. I figure I'll hit Hawaii first so I can verify that the problem has been resolved there, and I'll take along some 22-28 year old model so they can test how easy it is to use the now included tool on the pills. Please have these class action papers drawn up by Wednesday so you can get them to the courthouse downtown. Be sure and arrange to have a few models at your office first thing tomorrow morning so I can choose the weakest looking one to take to Hawaii with me. I'll see you tomorrow!

Poor kitty...poor lil thing. I know how you feel though. I have gone through that before, except the cat part, and have cut my hands numerous times. I tend to have the same lil rage about things too, so I understand. I think it is even more funny that people are actually telling you to use a knife like you didn't already know that...haha Good luck with your new headphones whenever you buy them again. Look at it this way, you made some poor guy a really happy man.:)God Bless Brian! That is so funny, it’s sad. Poor kitty…poor lil thing. I know how you feel though.

Those few geniuses who work in factories or retail outlets which ship and/or receive their products in clamshell packaging, and the rest of us frustrated idiots in bandages. I should not have to struggle with, devise a method for, nor invest in a removal procedure for the packaging of any item I choose to buy. As for the "easy-open tab" on the back; I failed my ninth grade "playing with razors" course. Plastic clamshells are disrespectful of the consumer. Period. I don't care what your justifications are. And they sure as hell ain't green. And if you expect me to stand in line for the privilege of "checking myself out" through an automated teller so that I can go home and mount a nuclear assault on the product packaging... But then again, you guys defending or dismissing this stuff are not only missing the point of the satire, you're prolly the same guys who willingly sit in the Burger King drive-through for 40 minutes to get a box of fried cheese. apparently there are two teams on this thread.

Even then some packaging comes with such a thick polycarbonate film that I fear for my life (plastic cuts!). I now take the more onerous ones and trim them into knifes. Someday I hope to arm a mob with these and chase down a few packaging engineers. I use a pair of tinsnips.
