Sunday night I was standing in my bedroom opening a package with a pocket knife. The package was a holster for a 357 Magnum Revolver. As I was cutting through a zip-tie on the back of the packaging the force of the knife going through it shot my right hand to the left and into my left thumb.
Realizing I had just cut my thumb, I yelled something waking my wife from her nap while shaking my hand. In doing so I splattered blood all over the room. It was on the ceiling, the walls, the blinds, the door, the floor, the bed, you get the point. There was blood everywhere; it looked like something out of a CSI crime scene.
Anyways, I ran to the bathroom to stop the bleeding and bandage my thumb. After about and hour of cleaning up the blood in the bedroom and realizing that my thumb was still bleeding I went to the emergency room. I felt pretty dumb explaining how I cut my thumb, but strangely I don’t think it was the first time they had heard this story.
After being well taken care of & eight stitches later I was on my way. From now on, I think I will use scissors to open demon packaging.
So here is a question; why do companies make things so hard to open?
