things are over wrapped? Some things are either over wrapped or the wrappings so tight you can't get into it no matter what kind of implement you use. Case in point I have a lint roller I am trying to use this AM which seems to be designed not to let anyone access the sticky part .
. I had this label maker I finally got open after struggling with the outer wrap for days. Any examples from your world?

tt can take a long time. I don't know why they wrap things so awfully tight? I guess it makes for a neat package, but they are a royal pain for the consumer.

I over tape packages. After a few people telling me the things they got from me were open, I go nuts on the tape. I do not know what the post office does when they get people’s packages, but they certainly don’t treat them gently. Still yet, nothing is worse than a box I got from a popcorn company once. It was like they taped it and used Gorilla Glue at the same time. Obviously, they didn’t, but it felt like that.

@snowy22315 I totally get it. I have a couple of lint rollers unused because I couldn’t get them opened either.

Yeah, places are supposed to be wrapping sustainably not adding extra wrapping..

I hate that thick plastic they use to keep us out of whatever we purchased... I have trouble getting those containers with cake and cookies open. My fingers can't catch those little tabs. Pretty usually has to open them for me.

I don't have much in the way of fingernails, so usually a problem for me too.

Oh yes I fight things with scissors. Hubby uses his pocket knife.

Sissors or some kind of knife usually does the trick where fingernails fail!

I've gotten a few things that were wrapped so tight it was a struggle just to get it open. I got a shirt recently that was vacuum sealed when it arrived and it was the devil to get it open. Of course it was wrinkled to no end which was doubly frustrating.

I hate it when things are over wrapped …it takes so long to open them ….and then you fill your rubbish bin with all the packaging that you didn’t need in the first place.

Yes, I attack those packages with heavy-duty scissors. My string cheese is wrapped in cellophane which is also hard to remove. I won't buy it again just for that reason.

My fingers have not got the dexterity they once had and I do struggle with wrappings.
Quite a lot.
Today, a pack of Sausage Rolls was one I had to pass to Yvonne to open
