What's Vexing You Today?

I just experienced another episode of anger over plastic shrink-wrap,
and commented under my breath again:
"There's a special place in hell for those who design packaging".

My wife overheard, and said:
"Wouldn't it be funny if they died and went up to the pearly gates,
and found they were closed and sealed in shrink-wrap."

Wrapped gates.

A sharp pocket knife is a plus, not only for cutting shrink-wrap, but if you ever meet the inventor you can stab him.

Apparently, paint stripper will eventually eat right through the can it's being stored in.

And if there are plastic paint cans on the same shelf, the stripper will melt those cans too.

Turns out having a huge pile of saw dust in the workshop is very helpful in cleaning up a mess like that.
