I am frequently caused rage when trying to open something that seems more secure than something they would keep nuclear missile launch codes in. One time instead of actually opening the jar of something I smashed it on the ground till it broke to get at what was inside. I have stabbed multiple precious items trying to cut my way through packaging. I hear companies are trying to make "rage free packaging" but when?! I commonly see friends and family have the same problems.
Anyone else ever get this special brand of rage?
Wrap rage has a Wikipedia even. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrap_rage Wrap rage, also called package rage, is the common name for heightened levels of anger and frustration resulting from the inability to open hard-to-remove packaging, particularly some heat sealed plastic blister packs and clamshells. Consumers suffer thousands of injuries per year, such as cut fingers and sprained wrists, from tools used to open packages and from the packaging itself.
A survey in Yours, a magazine aimed at people over 50, found that 99% of the 2,000 respondents said packaging had become harder to open over the last 10 years, 97% said there was "too much excess packaging", and 60% said they had bought a product designed to more easily open packaging. In a survey conducted at the Cox School of Business, almost 80 percent of households "expressed anger, frustration or outright rage" with plastic packaging. Consumers also tend to use words such as "hate" and "difficult" when describing these products.
Consumers sometimes use potentially unsafe tools such as razor blades, boxcutters, snips and ice picks in their attempts to open packages. In the Yours survey, 71% of respondents said they had been injured while trying to open food packaging. The most common injury respondents had from trying to open packaging was "a cut finger, followed by cut hand, sprained wrist, bruised hand and strained shoulder muscle." According to a British study, over 60,000 people receive hospital treatment each year due to injuries from opening food packaging. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that attempts to open packaging caused about 6,500 emergency room visits in the U.S. in 2004. A 2009 study conducted by the Institute for Good Medicine found that 17 percent of adults over the age of 21 were either injured at least once or know of someone who was injured while opening a holiday or birthday gift.
People even get hurt trying to open things. Emergency room hurt.

I used to use a knife like that. Still took some force to get through the plastic because the blade is so thick.

Not this one. It's got a pointy tip. REALLY pointy.
No, I bought it at a fair in Indiana.
