Packaging

[Tilly2]

Why is it that when you buy something in a box and you want to return it to the shop, you can never get the thing to fit back in the box properly?

[emmie]

because the devil designed a way to reshape it as you tweezer or use pliers to get the stuff out of the packaging.

[DrFilth]

leave some of the packaging out and if they ask you why say you thought they would want to inspect it before giving you a refund -)

[Tilly2]

That's a brilliant idea, Dr. I will try that next time.

[boxtops]

I can't say I've ever had that problem.....

[Tilly2]

Well, you wouldn't with a name like yours, boxy. Your boxtops always fit.

[emmie]

moulded plastic packaging is a nightmare.

[Tilly2]

Yes, emmie, it is and so is anything which sits in molded polystyrene.

[emmie]

i bought an item, it had three layers of plastic moulded packaging. i spent an hour trying to get the thing out. scissors didn't get through the layers, nor did a knife, resorted to a heavy duty hacksaw, i kid you not.

[Tilly2]

That sounds like a health and safety issue, emmie. You could have done yourself some serious damage.

It's blooming sod's law at it Tilly.

Same reason why it sometimes nigh on impossible to refold a map.

[emmie]

health and safety be damned, i was ready to stick a grenade up its backside.
