Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Just because it has an orange handle doesn't mean its a Fiskars.

[–]hydrogen_wv 1 point2 points ago

Came here to say "Should have bought Fiskars", upvoted you instead.

This particular packaging has be folded on the bottom rather than crimped, it wouldve been easier to cut that. Also for things that are completely crimped, once you make a small cut on the side slide the scissors in and start cutting just one layer

[–]sierrabravo1984 5 points6 points ago

That is the incorrect way to open that type of package. It's easier to cut along the crimped edge.

Blister pack beats scissors?

[–]FunnyUpvoteForYou 1 point2 points ago

ya know, maybe we should make body armor out of the edges..

[–]Williekins 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Than you can run into people with the body armor than cut them. The only problem is taking it off.

I read this as anus paper scissors and had a very uncomfortable feeling down below

i think everyone should boycott packaging like this...

[–]3_14159265358979323 1 point2 points ago

They keep using it because is very difficult (read impossible or chuck norris possibe) to open in the shop AND because if you try you'll get plastic cuts.

I usually burn the plastic, it smells but i don't waste time, scissors or band-aids

cancer here i come!

[–]bumpingvacuum 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

usually the items in this type of packaging arent worth much... example... i just bought a car air freshener... i quickly grabbed the first one i saw and got to my car and realize... shit! cant open it without scissors. the cost of air freshener... $2.50.... not worth the crappy impossible to open packaging.

[–]Unbelievr 1 point2 points ago

Or just buy one of these! Oh, wait...

Clamshell packaging. I fucking HATE it.

[–]TurbosaurusRex 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You were cutting the packaging wrong. You are supposed to cut the sides off, its the weakest part of the packaging, hence, the plastic hinge at the bottom of the packaging, and, i dont understand why everyone hates these.... i can open them with my bare hands.

Here, go get a set of these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_90507-16878-50251_0__?productId=1111951&Ntt=scissors&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dscissors&facetInfo=

This is how it's done.

[–]nobodynose 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do you want to know the secret of opening these?

Like this

Make sure you cut far enough from the edge. It cuts very easily once you start it going and it just open easily. If it doesn't open really easily it's because you cut too close to the outer edge.

I open all my packages of these things like that and it works like a charm.

[–]fgben 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do you cut all your packages all the way so they open like a clamshell? I usually just cut one side and pop out the items, like taking things out of an envelope. In this case a 3 inch slit would be sufficient. And a hell of a lot faster.

[–]nobodynose 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sometimes it's tight so you have to pull on it really hard and the things don't come out very easily. Especially if it's bulky. Like one of the ones with a HUGE bubbled out area in the middle because the item is huge.

I clamshell all of mine because if I feel like it I can close it back up and it seals pretty well. Plus once you start the cut and as long as you stay cutting in the right area, it cuts super easily.

Read as anus, paper, scissors...OO

[–]ramblerandgambler 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why the hell do they do this? What's wroing with a cardboard box? Or a bloody plastic bag with a label on it?

Look at all that wasted packaging, not to mention how fucking hard it is to open them.

[–]Mugros 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

cheap scissors, obviously

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Don't use scissors, don't use a knife, don't waste money on some useless gadget. Use a can opener. I can't believe how often I need to tell people about this method.

[–]thuggishruggishboner 0 points1 point ago

[–]event_horizon_ 0 points1 point ago

Chinese junk scissors. Don't shop at walmart.

[–]pootacat -1 points0 points ago

Keeping this tab open till someone shares the correct "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT" way of opening these foul contraptions of sharp plastic death.

[–]bluepepper 0 points1 point ago

Proper scissors work just fine actually.

[–]Firehawkws7 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Truth. I've never broken a scissors yet. You people need to stop buying walmart special scissors and get to a craft store, spend the 20 bucks or so, and buy one that will last decades.

[–]danfeen -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I read that as 'anus' every time i looked over at it, I thought it was a variation on the old game. The picture confused me even more when I saw that the 'anus' had in fact defeated the scissors.

[–]JohnOreen -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This was funny. Have an upvote.

[–]d4rkstryder -2 points-1 points ago

It's your own fault for buying rubbish scissors. Seriously, those are the worst scissors I have ever seen.
