I thought you'd like to see the kind of animals I have to work with. Someone has never opened a box of teabags before
I love a good perf. It gives me a little joy in my life. So when it doesn't work out I get a little frustrated. I blame Twinings. Please see exhibit A & B below.
They're very guilty of using the thinnest cardboard and having it rip constantly. Keeping it consistent around the corners is almost impossible as well.
Whoever did this didn't even try, they just tore that thing straight open.
I like to think it was a man showing off his strength to the ladies.
I feel your pain; in my house it's breakfast cereal boxes and it enrages me beyond all that is sensible that I have to look at that for the time it takes to consume that box!
Omg. Same at my joint. And the bag being left open instead of pegged. Wtf. I don't even eat it and it made me angry. I gave YL a cereal pourer thing to use now.
Yessss the bag being left open! Especially when I have a little peg selection in the kitchen right there
I always feel rebellious when I open things from 'open other side'. I'm like bitch please I'm eating the whole thing in one sitting anyway so there's no cause for alarm.
People who open packets of chips upside down don't deserve those chips.
Who does that?!
People with no decorum.
It depends on the day of the week. Monday I'd agree. Fri. / Sat. I think there should be some leniency.
😂
Inebriated I understand. Sober, you're an embarrassment.
You work with “I’m angry my mums not here to wait on me, I’m too important for menial manners, so I’ll just rip it open hahaha that’ll assert my dominance here” animals. I have encountered them in every workplace I’ve been in. It’s an endemic species.
