I’ll let you in on a little secret. Opening cardboard milk containers drives me crazy. I know it shouldn’t but this domestic endeavor annoys me so much that I’m fuming for a good ten minutes afterwards. If you are visiting me, chances are I will get you to do me the favor. Otherwise I have to do it myself.

I just can’t grasp how to bend and pull the cover open without ripping the whole top off or in most cases not ripping enough. As a result, I have a disfigured hole, where the milk gushes out and spills everywhere. As I I can’t shut the lid properly, my milk will spoil quickly. I can’t tell you how this frustrates me.
