Familiar frustrations
Have you ever been desperate for a midnight snack and tried to open the pack on a Mars Bar or Picnic? Packets of chips are the same. I swear they make them tougher every day.
How about when you're really tired and just need to look up one more blog before bed and that horrible "page is unavailable or the website must be experiencing some difficulties" message comes up on the computer?
Or when you need a glass of wine and you need it now and the cork crumbles and comes out in pieces after three attempts to open it, or even worse, when you've got a bottle but no corkscrew. I once broke the neck on the bottle with my frantic attempts to open it with a knife!
Or when the other residents of your unit block overstuff one garbage bin till the garbage is overflowing, while a second garbage bin sits right next to it, only slightly less accessible and totally empty!
