Life hack: use a can opener

[–]nAnarchy 9 points10 points ago

I spent way too long trying to figure out how you are supposed to do that with one of these.

Then I realized you meant one of those unnecessary crank things.

[–]AwesomeFama 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking of this http://www.p-38.net/images/canopener.jpg because I've never seen anything else used in Finland.

Shame, really. If RP had only gone with "Fuck this kind of packaging." he would be in the clear.

[–]workpuppy 7 points8 points ago

Go buy yourself some manly scissors.

[–]Reineke 0 points1 point ago

I have a very similar model (from a different brand) and I must say those are the best scissors I have ever had. You'd think they only cut sheet metal or something well but they cut fucking everything really well. Paper, hair, cloth. they're amazing.

[–]Squidifier 3 points4 points ago

Judging by the picture,

Paper, hair, cloth, small mammals, bones...

May be more accurate.

[–]notahipster2874 0 points1 point ago

You cut your hair with those?

[–]Reineke 1 point2 points ago

Well not mine, I cut my dogs "dreadlocks" that form behind his ear.

[–]qwewp 1 point2 points ago

Or get a set of these. I carried them on my belt for years. I still find myself reaching for them from time to time.

[–]Cmdr-Keen 22 points23 points ago

well i hate reposts

[–]FargoBound 9 points10 points ago

Does that mean op is a fagot?

[–]Sobertese 4 points5 points ago

Sadly.

Must be a convention in town today.

[–]belkarbitterleaf 7 points8 points ago

[–]photoroksmywrld -1 points0 points ago

"dongle" don't what that is but it sure sounds funny

[–]Gromitt42 2 points3 points ago

That dongle is shit as it's range is pathetic. Scissors also suck apparently.

Make better life choices son.

[–]turbogoblin 0 points1 point ago

You're the worst person alive.

[–]cLinC 0 points1 point ago

I hate re-posts.

[–]martiniammer 1 point2 points ago

HOW DID YOU GET THE SCISSORS OUT OF THE PACKAGE?!!??

[–]Castul 0 points1 point ago

Had this happen to me once while I worked in an electronics department.... I feel ya!

[–]LoverOfBacon -1 points0 points ago

One time most of my Christmas presents were in this type of packaging, and somebody had lost the scissors. It was horrible :(

[–]shela99 1 point2 points ago

Best way to get that kind of packaging open is a can opener. It is a miracle.

[–]turbulent_one 0 points1 point ago

uhhh the rivet on that scissor, it's plastic. lol

[–]CodexAcc 0 points1 point ago

Life protip: Use a can(tin?) opener for this type of packaging!

[–]samurailawngnome 0 points1 point ago

Why don't you people have can openers?

[–]lilbabysamson 1 point2 points ago

best way to open these I found out yesterday. locate the plastic right below the oddly shaped hanger hole. slowly pry apart with fingers until you can with hands or two fingers. bathe in your own success.

[–]Clownskin 5 points6 points ago

Or bathe in your own blood after it breaking and stabbing you with a shard of plastic.

[–]PlumDrop 0 points1 point ago

Even easier, squeeze the sides together first then rip that bitch open like a man.

[–]buckykat 0 points1 point ago

just use a knife.

[–]Lyude 1 point2 points ago

Have you tried this?

My life changed.

[–]Smash-Brando 0 points1 point ago

You need to cut a long the seam rather than perpendicular to it. Once you get one side you can usually rip open the package.

[–]psilent 0 points1 point ago

this is so old asus changed their packaging. like a year ago

[–]POKEalottaSMOT 1 point2 points ago

I hate shitty scissors.

[–]schniggens 1 point2 points ago

As a general rule, I try spend more than 99 cents on a pair of scissors.

[–]unkelrara 0 points1 point ago

Can. Opener.

[–]looneyloonam -1 points0 points ago

My dad creates the molds of this type of packaging.....

[–]project89 -1 points0 points ago

Those were your mothers good scissors.

[–]kon324 1 point2 points ago

Clearly they couldn't have been that good

[–]ThatAtheistGirl 0 points1 point ago

[–]Kyizen 1 point2 points ago

Just another reason why I love Amazon!

[–]Knollz 0 points1 point ago

I worked in an electronics store and we always just used a utility knife around the edge. Almost no effort required!

[–]Y_U_SO_MEME 1 point2 points ago

quick soak it in some rice

[–]this_sort_of_thing 0 points1 point ago

They really need to ban blister/clamshell packaging. Even with a can opener it's still annoying.

[–]serapher 0 points1 point ago

I actually got that in the mail today myself (the USB stick). I really hope I won't end up like that ... Wish me luck!

[–]futafan 0 points1 point ago

I hate to use the wrong tool for the job

[–]tehkillerbee 1 point2 points ago

Just use the scissors to cut round the edge of the packaging.

[–]Elijah_Maitreya 0 points1 point ago

You probably hit the tiny cd driver disk inside, that thing is a pain to install

[–]Duplicate_Pie 0 points1 point ago

Box cutter.

[–]badger_the -1 points0 points ago

Too bad Nokia didn't make those scissors.

[–]rj17 -1 points0 points ago

Its 2013. If you still haven't figured out how to open this shit you need to kill yourself. You are literally stealing air from humanity.

[–]terranitdown 0 points1 point ago

All I could think of was that photo must have been taken 10 years ago. USB 2.1

[–]xPRIAPISMx 0 points1 point ago

Should either use a can opener, or start from the hole it is hung on.

[–]juliusheese 0 points1 point ago
