RE: Morning Thoughts: What's Wrong With Things Actually WORKING?

I share your frustrations with lousy packaging. I took a chunk of skin out of my knuckle just trying to get a garden tool off its packaging! Why does it have to be so difficult to get the dang thing off the cardboard? And yes, so many "re-sealable" packages simply....aren't. And don't get me started on the problems I've had with my dishwasher! I paid a higher price for an allegedly-higher-quality brand, but I'm currently waiting my turn for a repairman for a third time. I paid for an extended warranty, but that means waiting weeks (seven this time) for an available in-house repairman to become available. I will never buy that brand again, nor will I purchase from that store again.

Some packaging is just awful! I spent many years in the retail industry, and an awful lot of packaging is not designed to protect the products but to fit a certain type of retail display fixture.
Home appliances can be such a pain! And it usually costs a mint to even GET a repair person to come out!
What's weird is I called a local appliance repair shop to see if somebody could take a look at my washer and dryer, both of which are 20-25 years old and were purchased used, and somebody came out in 2 or 3 days. I had to pay quite a fee to get someone to come 'way out where I live, and, alas, the washer is so old, the timer is no longer available.
