Whimsical People Who Took Things Far Too Literally

Open with Blunt Object

If a package has a label that says, “Do not open with sharp object,” that means that you can easily open it with a blunt object, right? Probably not, but that’s what this person thought when they decided to take the label on their package far too literally. Clearly, they only meant not to use scissors or a knife, so that the contents of the package would remain intact.

Let’s hope they just held up this mallet for a photo op, and that they carefully opened their package without breaking whatever was inside afterward. We’re guessing they were just trying to be clever, but you just never know with people – as we’ve already learned thanks to the many examples in this article.
