Couple Envy
I flew to San Francisco for the weekend, and on my Southwest flight, they handed out snacks. This was great, because I was in the mood for salt. Yet as much as I tried, I couldn’t pry open the bag of peanuts. (Maybe related – I also struggle unlocking pump bottles.) Embarrassed, yet determined, I eyed the person sitting next to me, and sheepishly asked for his help. Returning home yesterday, there was another round of snacks. This time, I passed. But I watched an elderly couple across the aisle. The woman also struggled with the bag of peanuts, and she let her husband do the work.

There are still airlines handing out peanuts?
Southwest did, on both legs of my flight.
Those pump bottles are works of the devil.
You mean I’m not the only one??
Well, between you and me there are at least two of us!
I’m relieved to hear this.
When a package says “easy open” I go straight for my scissors and show that package how easy open really works!
I somehow feel so much better I did not realize how angry packaging made me 🙂
Opening packages can be a dangerous job!
