I’m evolved. I have opposable thumbs. My motor reflexes are good. I feel pretty high on the food chain.Until I pull out a tape gun.
Suddenly, I’m a single-cell organism. One of three things happens: 1) I work the tape gun properly but the tape crinkles and folds up on itself when I try to affix it to a box, 2) the tape retracts on itself and I can’t find where the start of it is, or 3) the tape gets caught in the jackass teeth and is mangled and shredded beyond use.
Then a fourth thing happens: I go ape shit and throw down the dick tape gun in disgust. It doesn’t matter if the tape is of the super-thick Scotch variety, the stuff I'm forced to buy at the post office because I forgot to bring tape along and they won't tape my packages shut any longer, or whisper-thin crap from the corner store. It all blows monkey. I waste a buttload of tape and that chaps my blue-collar hide.
To exact my revenge, I'm going to box up my rolls of tape, staple the flaps shut, and send that shit off to Bjork so she can make her next red-carpet dress. Give the fashion police my regards, 3M.

I don't know how many times I bloodied my knuckles on those piranha-sharp cutting teeth before I resorted to stapling my packages!
I hear you...then before the tape even makes it onto the package it has somehow collected 20 billions strands of hair & clumps of lint. Lovely.
Ahhh, God I hear you! I wish inanimate objects could feel pain so badly!
those fucking TEETH. i hate them! And to avoid them i twist my wrist all out of shape so the teeth will actually CUT the tape, and it still doesn't! I'm constantly taping down the wrinkled tape flaps with tape until the package weighs twice what it would have weighed if I'd just used glue.
oh, but this is your blog. sorry.
I HATE THAT FUCKING PACKING TAPE!!
