Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Things that are hard, but shouldn't be. *Anything mechanical involving a bicycle. Actually, in my case, anything involving a bicycle, and anything mechanical. *Getting Nuun or similar electrolyte tablets (Vietnam won't let sports stores sell them as they're considered pharmaceuticals; pharmacies don't sell sports stuff.) *Writing legibly (I've never quite mastered this, except printing slowly, on a blackboard or whiteboard. Thank goodness for laptops and classroom projectors.) *At present (sigh, long story) tying my shoelaces.

Elite 4564 Boise | Subject: RE: Things that are hard, but shouldn't be. scoobysdad - 2012-10-10 7:36 AM Okay, I'll admit it... Undoing bra straps with one hand. Just pinch and it pops open*. Once I learned this it takes half a second.
*this only works on your standard 2 clasp straps. Anything else and I immediately get baffled. |

Honey I know guys who can't do it with both hands while they're looking at the clasp <sigh> Fortunately I can do it with one hand behind my back. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Things that are hard, but shouldn't be. Open all the new plastic packaging. What happened to the day you could simply pinch the front and back of a bag of chips, pull, and they are open? Now everything needs scissor, utility knife, and a chainsaw to get into. |

What happened to the day you could simply pinch the front and back of a bag of chips, pull, and they are open? Now everything needs scissor, utility knife, and a chainsaw to get into. Oh man, the packaging on non-food items is ridiculous. My solution now to the little ribbed plastic glue thingamajigs is to get some scissors and just cut the entire edge off. Then it just falls apart. |

That label tape makes my blood pressure skyrocket. Also, eating Taco Bell in the car. Hint: Take the CD and draw it across the underside of a countertop or desktop. You'll slice the cellophane across the 2 outer edges and be able to remove it. |

Also, eating Taco Bell in the car. You can also pop the hinges out on either side, then just pull the two plastic pieces apart, peeling off the sticker in the process, then just snap the case together again. Can't help you with the Taco Bell thing. |
