Industrial Strength Inconvenience


What I feel is a big inconvenience is the industrial strength plastic that now envelopes many of the products we buy.  You can't open these packages.  You have to go to the garage and find a heavy duty blade to open them. 
It is also difficult to try and short-cut by slicing open a small area and then attempting to rip open the package by hand.  This can result in severe hand damage.  
If the product you bought turns our to be wrong, or does not work, you can't just box it up and take it back.  You have to gather all the plastic pieces, the owners manual (which you cut through when trying to get through the plastic), put all this in another plastic bag so you can take it back to the store and return it.
If only the item you were buying were half as durable as the plastic fortress that surrounds it...
