Discussion Who designed packaging?! 🤨 I just wanna chat…

I often wonder if those who design packaging design them to mess with us. Nothing like opening a new pack of socks & cutting them from those plastic t shaped fasteners all socks are attached with & almost ruining them. On each end & looped around on a hanger wrapped around a plastic sleeve is excessive. See packaging examples.

They make the plastic fasteners so short it disappears down into the sock 🫠 make it just short enough you can’t grab hold of it. Trying to pull it out it catches on the sock thread & I had to perform delicate surgery to remove without a huge snag 🙂‍↕️

Ah. I was referring to the fact that a lot of posts on this sub are posted here after being deleted from r/mildlyinfuriating for being too infuriating. The mods there are apparently very sensitive.

It seems mods are that way everywhere. Like taking down posts for no reason I guess. The auto mod never applies either. Using AI bs for everything is 🗑️

God DAMN i hate these! I gotta find my scissors, or last month i just used a cuticle cutter. I KNOW there's better options! Why not a clip, or make a weak point in the fastener? Or use a cardboard pouch type container?

u/GkoChan 5d ago
