Our Position on Obama's Election
The person you call President Obama ... ."

Things that really piss me off
Isn't it time they got this right?  What's it been?  60 freaking years since this piece of crap carton was introduced?  I couldn't open my milk then, without ripping the shit out of the tab, causing milk to leak  down my chin, and 100 years later I still can't.  This carton is made by International Paper.  Sell their stock until they fix it. 
Some brainiac came up with these resealer bags about five years ago, and they DON'T WORK!  The best of them, unless you're anal, and spend 10 minutes working on them, don't reseal.  In fact, the bags give you a false sense of security, since you think the pretzels are safe, and then they're stale.  The worst of them are used for meats and cheeses.  I'm not kidding, I have to use 2 pair of pliers in order to OPEN the sonofabitches the first time, and they NEVER reseal.  The president of any company who uses these things ought to try to open one, or better yet, try it out on mom first.  The fact that they don't already means they should be fired.
Slotted screws!  WTF?  This is not the first time I've railed about them.  Why are they still made?  Is there a slotted screw lobby paying off members of congress, or state legislatures?  Screw drivers slip out of the slot, and forget about using a power driver.  God gave us the Phillips head for a reason.  I want these things banned.  I want slotted screw salesmen horsewhipped.  If the thing you're buying has slotted screws, don't buy it.  Deface it with spray paint, and run away.

Milk? Yuk. That's gross. Better that most of it dribbles away. It's for kids and cats.

Simma dwn nah! It looks like someone opened the milk carton from the back side...it doesn't work well that way.
As for the "resealable" pks, 'with you all the way! (Nice photo play w/the *slotted* screws, BTW).
Yep, they're a pain. When the slotted ones are also usable w/socket wrench...the best. joyce

Henry Ford instituted the use of the Phillips system because The square drive Robertson screws used in the early Model T's pulled to deep into the wooden parts.

Phillips are designed to cam out upon firm resistance.

So, besides being a racist and viciously antisemitic, Ol' Hank stuck us with a purposefully designed, generally inferior fastening system good for one purpose only and used for nearly everything.

Don't get me started on the weird-ass stake pocket holes in pickup box sides.

May he rot in hell.

Gentlemen, gentlemen ... Point of order!! The premise is not which screw is better, but that the slotted screw will bring down all of civilization!

Ironically, slotted screws have helped bring civilization *up* to the point it is today.

Who the FUCK drinks milk? *yech*

As for the bags: I just have a box of freezer bags. I cut the lunchmeat bags with a knife, rinse off some of the brine and shit from packaging, put half in the bag and the other on a piece of bread. ... With some brown mustard... :)

Slotted screws are essential in certain instances. It is possible to torque slotted sccrews tighter than phillips. In electric work, that is essential because poorly torqued connections pose a greater risk of fire.
