Impossible Toothpaste
"What is he talking about?" I hear you ask.
My current irritation is caused by whichever bright spark decided that 'twist-click' toothpaste lids would be MUCH better than the old fashioned 'just bloody screw them on' lids*. In the dry, brightly lit world that toothpaste boffins inhabit, the action required to secure and unsecure the brilliant white lids must remind them of some space-age docking facility. Even their spindly arms can muster the required torque to successfully achieve mating between the plastic parts. Take this into the real world bathroom environment sporting wet soapy hands though, and it's more akin to some kind of tense action film sequence. The hero tries desperately to twist the greased fuse before the bomb explodes.
I am wondering, is this some cost-saving exercise, or is it directed at enraging students, to the extent that they go out and attack royal couples?
