Today's packaging is Number One on my list of pet peeves. In no particular order:

-- Hard plastic blister packs that require a razor knife to cut through
-- Watco push-down-then-turn caps -- absolutely impossible to open without a wrench.
-- Rattle can covers that refuse to pop open even when you work them over with a screwdriver
-- Twist-off lids that require a nearby grandson to get open or one of those adjustable rubber belts (which I can never find when I need one).
-- Battery compartments for some gadgets that refuse to open unless you know exactly where to apply pressure.
-- Heat-sealed food packaging that requires just the right amount of force to open without ripping the package.
-- The big bag of Oreida french fries that does not come with a resealable zipper.

My father had an old curse that he voiced for things like this: May the hands fall of of the asshole who made this so he can't make another one.

+1 and kudos to your father. A wise man with a sense of humor.
