Things that don't work as they should
Discussion
I get a bit irritated by things that don't work properly
Here's a couple currently topping my hitlist
- The red pull tab at the top of packets of biscuits, namely digestives. I'm not sure if I have actually opened a pack properly, its usually about halfway round it
goes wrong and careers downwards allowing about 10 digestives to slip out and smash on the floor
- The flip top on head and shoulders shampoo is useless - after using it a couple of times it just gets covered in shampoo and starts running down the sides
Anyone else get any to add to the list?

Milk cartons.
Back in the day you got a glass bottle with a foil lid you put your thumb through.
Now it's a carton. Some have to be torn which us close to impossible, some have a screw cap you undo yo reveal an inner ring pull type thing, some even have a peel back foil lid.
If you mange to open one of these there's no way you can pour milk into a cup without it spilling.
In 20 years we've gone backwards.
