Boxing

Today, I had to wait in a hospital room because I cut myself with a knife while trying to open a box of soda. After three stitches, I went home only to notice the box has an easy-open tab. FML

Today, my doorbell rang while I was still in bed. I leapt out and immediately got a severe cramp in one leg, then, staggering around trying to throw some clothes on, I scraped the other leg badly enough to draw blood. When I got to the door there was nobody there, just a parcel on the doorstep. FML

The laceration I can fix. The stupid, not so much.

Examine before you take action.

I hope your hand heals quickly and is painless.

Good Lord. Can you even breathe and walk at the same time?

YDI for employing a knife you don't know how to use.

get your blade skills up OP and do yourself a favor and never try to defend yourself with a knife.

Soda boxes have had this for several years more and even before that weren't that hard to open. What's wrong with you?

To be honest, some brands' easy open tabs are even more difficult to open than just tearing open the end of the box. Although why you would need to use a sharp knife is beyond me. Use your damn hands, or a butter knife.

what do you mean a box of soda? A case of carbonated beverages, or a box of baking soda? Very confused about your product and packaging.

...I'm sorry, what? A box of soda? It's CARDBOARD! THIN cardboard, at that! What kind of weakling can't just tear open a thin layer of cardboard? I'm sorry, OP, but that's just plain sad. FYL because you're just pathetic.
