I just purchased a Mead notebook, and have spent 30 minutes trying to remove the sticker on the cover, and as you can see, there is still a lot of sticker left! Why do companies torment consumers with such stickers! I also had a sticker representing the dealer where I purchased my last car on its windshield, and I never could get it completely off!

Plastic packaging used for numerous electronic products also irritates me! It’s impossible to open with your hands, and even difficult with a knife or scissors! When you do cut it open, you still have to tear the package open to remove the product, and can easily cut your fingers on its sharp edges! Also, good luck returning the product with the plastic packaging ripped apart!  There must be a better way to prevent theft, or deter returns, which I’m sure is its intent.
