owelly Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Why don't eggs have ring-pulls? It would make opening them a lot easier. Banananas have a sort of top bit to pull to gain access. Even tins of corned beef have a safe method of entry and cows are not the cleverest of units. If they put more effort into running, they would'nt get caught and stuffed into tins. Pitchards for goodness sakes even have the forthought to attach a primitive key to let themselves out. Off to bed now. I tire easily.

Boonie Hound Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Also why are those stainless steel teapots that you often see in supermarket cafes etc etc impossible to pour from without spilling loads over the table or your lap. And don't get me started on milk cartons that you have to tear or cut open..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 For me its juice cartons. They don't so much pour as "splugg" straight past the glass and all over the worktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Unintentional splugging is indeed a hazard of modern times (in fact it is so seriously annoying it can turn you into a Flappabat...I love that word and have been using it at every possible opportunity). Also, any packed comestible on an aircraft is designed to explode over your fellow passengers on opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owelly Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 The act of opening a milk carton is known as "lactomangulation". or it should be. The structural defect within a cupboard that makes one door open as you shut another is "cabnicreep" The last bit of a yoghurt that hides in the bottom of the pot is "cultscape".

Boonie Hound Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Apart from pain is there a definition for the feeling or act of when you hit your head on the kitchen cupboard door or more lately car boot that you have just opened.....just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I always find tomatoes tricky little devils to open. I was travelling somewhere on an aircraft many years ago and bit into a tomato provided with the meal, as the plastic knife was too blunt to cut into it. The entire contents of the tomato shot out sideways, passed in front of my colleagues face, sitting next to me and landed 'SPLAT' on the face of a total stranger sitting next to him. 😳 😳 😳 Oddly enough he was the only one who didn't laugh 😬 😬 😬 Brent Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
