I had to replace some batteries just now and was reminded of a pet peave of mine.

Why do things have to be packaged in the hardest most indestructible plastic known to man? I literally have to get out a kitchen knife and jab it like into a wild boa'rs throat to slit it open. Nothing unsafe there.

And how can little old ladies do this?

And why are things that are made of plastic made from the cheapest and weakest plastic possible, not this indestructible packaging plastic?
