Packaging... again!

 At my age you have bits starting to wear out, so it's not uncommon for us "oldies" to be on medication of some sort.  The trouble is getting at it these days!
 Not only is there the fuck about at the chemist with people all queuing like lemmings outside (thats going to work when winter comes) the the chemist coming out wearing a space suit and handing us our tablets with 6 foot tongs, now theres an added twist.
 Bloody packaging!!!   Not only are the tablets sealed in the boxes with labels.  Now to make it more fun the boxes are sealed in plastic bags!
 Come on Wayne I hear someone say, it's only a plastic bag.  Yes it is, but why?  They used paper bags for years, now when they want us to cut down on plastic they start bloody using it. To make matters worse it's not a normal plastic bag, oh no, it's got added titanium or that adamantium? stuff that Wolverine's claws are made of, you know that unbreakable shit.
 Seriously I'm a big burly bloke with hands that work, I struggled to open the bastard stuff, how in God's name is a fragile 90 year old woman with bad arthritis in her hands supposed to open it?
 Not only silly but totally unnecessary, the paper bag is just as "virus proof" if one assumes thats the logical reason for sealing up sealed boxes, in fact it's worse, a person now spends five minutes wrestling with the packaging instead of tearing it open and throwing it in the bin, much more handling.
 I finally opened the bag with a borrowed star wars lightsaber, but even that struggled, the plasma cutter I tried before it failed totally.
 Am I taking the piss... yes, but what I'm saying is still true... well maybe except the lightsaber bit... but it was a bloody nightmare to open.
