Definitely! And grumbling lots while I do it!

I was dog sitting for my daughter last week and her dog is fed Forthglade dog food. The cover has to be peeled back as it lasts her several days and it has to be recovered. It drove me mad!

I’d like to mention the other culprit…’tear here’. Another reason to reach for the scissors!

We had a new control panel for a central heating system. It was apparently ^intuitive’ to use. That must be why it had a twenty two page manual to go with it! I never did get to grips with it and now have Hive.

The follow-up lie of easily resealed means that the tab which you had such difficulty peeling off, will not stick down again to keep the contents fresh, but will peel up at the edge.

No need to waste five minutes. Just reach for the scissors.

... "Peel Here"

Surely out of all the management of all the supermarkets - one of them must have noticed that "Peel Here" usually means fiddle about for 5 minutes trying to separate the two layers, before reaching for the scissors or grabbing a kitchen knife and stabbing wildly.
