pkg

here's another peeve of mine:

using styrofoam for shipping.

there's nothing worse than ordering something wonderful online and waiting to receive it...

when it arrives: signing for the package. smiling in anticipation.

grabbing the scissors. ripping into the seams of the box.

reaching in...and coming up with a fistful of peanuts.

you try to shake it off, but alas, styrofoam sticks to you. it gets all over the floor. on your clothes. stuck to your purchase. clinging to everything and as you shake all about, it clings harder. it is relentless. and horrible.

i always try to specifiy that i prefer packaging without styrofoam (recycled anything is good). i like envelopes over boxes. i wish the world would work the way i want it to.

ugh. how uncivilized.
