Bubble Wrap - Tumblr Posts
Sou um plástico bolha...
Engraçado como algumas pessoas nós tratam como se fôssemos um pedacinho de plástico bolha.
Espremem nossos sentimentos, desfrutam de nossa companhia, arrancam nossos sorrisos e sorriem junto conosco...
Mas quando acabam todas as bolhas de emoções, nos descartam, nos substituem como se nunca tivéssemos sido nada e nos trocam por algo mais divertido e leve...
Por algo mais bonito.
Sou um plástico bolha de bolhas estouradas...
I'd like to take the next few minutes to point out the absurdity of Ikea packaging.
My roommate and I just got a package from them in the mail. We weren't expecting the package for another week. Upon its untimely arrival we opened the package to find a white board wrapped in green bubble wrap.
First: the board. This is the table itself. There's no legs in the packaging. My roommate double-checked the order and indeed, we ordered a full table, but over the next few days we're expecting to receive the legs... in four different shipments.
Next: the bubble wrap. Actually, I can't call it that. It's some sacrilegious knockoff.
Please excuse the poor photography.
It's green. And square. That should've been my warning. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried to pop it.
It squished, only to reform when I let go.
It literally just goes back to normal.
Even squishing large sections of it doesn't work; the air is shared between rows of the bubbles. Stomping it isn't as effective as it should be either; it's nigh-unpoppable. Poking holes in it is the only effective solution.
The result of poking holes in the "bubble wrap."
But since they share all the air, it deflates large swaths of bubbles.
Whatever this voodoo is, it's certainly not bubble wrap. Somehow they managed to take all the fun out of it. It's square, it doesn't pop, and it's connected in series. Who the heck does this?
...oh. The same people who send a table in five shipments.
Doctor Who has ruined my relationship with bubble wrap.
