Sealed air products are SO much better. MFR used to get samples in peanut-filled cartons all the time. There is nowhere you can open them without getting that crap all over There ought to be a law.

My son would be happy to hear you say that. He recently took a job with Storo Pak, headquartered in Cincinnati.

I think shippers like to use the styrofoam peanuts because they’re faster to dispense. The order filler places the item to be shipped in a box, grabs a styrofoam peanut dispensing hose located right next to him, and steps on a pedal. The peanuts get dispensed by machine very quickly. It’s faster than an order filler picking up and then placing little air filled bags into another box one by one. | |||

Annoying things: moving into a rental house after owning your own home for a few years. I can come up with some specific examples, but first let me unpack some of these boxes.

MFR used to work for Sealed Air in Charlotte. I was not aware of Storopack, even though they are just a few miles from me.

Litter along roads. Litter anywhere. Especially along the edge of my yard. I live on the corner of two busy streets and the main route from the high school to the big beach park. Lots of kids in cars ejecting trash out the window.

Tesla headlights. There are so many Teslas around here and most of the jerks that drive them always have the high-beams on. I understand there’s a way to adjust them from the gawdawful main control screen on the dashboard but most Tesla owners don’t know or don’t care. Mostly don’t care.

RJ45 connectors. In offices. In conference rooms in office buildings. RJ11, RJ45 and similar connectors were not designed to be plugged and unplugged several times a day. The tabs always break off. It was a stupid choice for computer networks. Stupid.
