Fucked up Perforations
I take personal offense to packaging that includes instructions, and a very visible perforation, which does not tear along the perforation.
Those small cereal boxes you get in hotels are notorious for that… the cut-away perforation that allows you to open up the box on the large side, so you can pour milk directly into the carton and use the box as a bowl. All you end up getting is a mangled carton that’s torn all wrong. And in the end, you look like the idiot who couldn’t open the box properly in the first place.
To all of those who work in the packaging industry, food industry or any other industry that designs “perforated cartons” for consumer use, please do us a favor and make the damn things more usable. Or just forget the perforations altogether. From a usability perspective, its just embarrassing, useless, and probably costs me more as a consumer to have these things die-cut with a perforation!
