Toilet paper, paper towels, cardboard boxes, cheques, they're all a hot mess.

You are about 4 decades late with this curse.

Sometimes I can get toilet paper and paper towels to not have a little corner torn off. But 'easy open' card board boxes where you just have to squeeze a perforated tab on? That thing is gonna be a disaster. It always folds weird instead of tearing or rips outside of the perforation, causing structural failure. That Mac and Cheese box is gonna look like I tried to pry it open with a spoon, guaranteed.

I have average sized fingers and it isn't a strength thing, I just can't figure out how to put the right pressure on the perforation for it to give without taking everything with it.
