Whoever came up with these should go straight to hell. Is there anything worse that getting something delivered (Amazon, etc) in a huge box, with a small item in the middle of the box, surrounded by thousands of those white packing peanuts?

We are in a community where all cardboard boxes need to be cut up and tied together for easier recycling (which is a good thing)... but those damn peanuts make it a tougher task. First you have to get all those stupid things in a garbage bag, which will remain un-decomposed in a landfill forever. And those dang things - they have static in all of them - so no matter what you do, they end up clinging to your hands, boxes, floors, you name it.

Just an rant - but why doesn't everyone use the newer plastic air bags instead, which are much easier to clean up and deal with? :shrug:

If you told me you cut and pasted this from one of Jack's original posts I would have believed it entirely.

Exactly. He has many rants like these.
Yep. Like yesterday, I was approaching a 4-way stop. The car on my left clearly got there before me by about 20 seconds so I wait for him to go and he sits there. We fucking sit there staring at each other. Finally I start to go and this idiot starts to go too. Then he gets pissed at ME! Fuckin idiots!

And Lawrence send his pickles out with foam peanuts. That's the only time peanuts don't piss me off because he uses them well. :0008

No. He's saying you're starting to sound like crabby ass Jack.

Didn't think I was being "crabby"... thought it was humorous...... ok, I get it, it wasn't. But it sure was, watching me go around the kitchen trying to pick up those stupid things as they stuck to everything including my hands and would not go in the bag....
