Picture this in your head.![]()
Ok , you have been thinking of getting this very special product for months.
you have your heart set on it.
It is electronic! are you with me? ok
You save the money. you drive to the store. you pick out just the right one.
you pay for it. You get out the door with out the airport alarm gong off. you get in the car. before you turn the car on you open the bag, pull out the package.
Let’s say it is a CD that you have wanted.
OK
Now What? You play it in the car right?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
No fucking way!
You would have an easier time breaking out of san Quentin than opening up that stupid package .
The plastic is 2 inches thick. You want it, but you cannot get to it.
But you try!!
you look around for a knife, a pen, a nail clipper, a golf tee. you pour through the glove box, the side pockets, or your purse. whatever you have. Nothing works.
Now you pissed off and sweating.
If you are me, you do not give up. You pierce the plastic with something, maybe a pen, then you stick a finger in and start ripping it open, ( your finger not the package) then you get it started, but there are closures holding it closed
Now you are ready to kill somebody, so you start the car, say you never liked that band any way, swear to come back and go postal on that store, or hope that the inventor dropped dead in a violent death.
In the end you get home, get the scissors out cut the hermetically sealed package. rescue the cd, pour yourself a drink, go back to the car and play the CD.
DO NOT tell me that this has not happened to you with a toy, or a game, or a CD or some electronic device.
These are the things that make me take medication everyday.

Monty, totally agree with you and have been there. Short of keeping bolt cutters in my car, I keep one of those cheap give-away letter openers in my car specifically for that reason…
