Why are you trying to kill me?

Ok, the title is a bit over the top but that's why me blogs called Complete Utter Banter. Now I am a frequent (perhaps to frequent) user of the site Play.com. Normal items I purchase from there are PS3 and Xbox 360 games and Blu Ray, you know, rectangular shaped boxes.

Now, big sale a very pointless things which you've wanted are in it. So I brought a mini portable (and very good) speaker. Now just before I get to the main point of the blog, I would just like to say I am not the most craziest person about saving the planet, I just like to help like recycling, turing off stuff I don't use etc. However when Play.com sends me a product which is 10cm in height and 8cm in diameter in a box measuring, get this now, 37cm in length, 28cm width and 10 cm high, I do get mad that they are wasting that much card which could be used to package at least 3 more of the same product.

Also one main thing packaging is suppose to do is protect, I can clearing see that the product must have had a bit of beating rolling about in the box.

Now I know what you are saying, but that's only one product, but if a load of these products are brought and possibly a lot of other small products like this are brought then that is a lot of packaging used and I know that not everyone recycles.

So the one main thing I have taken from this is if all our land fill sites get filled up or when all the trees are used up, I know how I am going to go blaming is.

First Time for Everything, or Sometimes Not.

If you are lucky enough to have a few gifts here and there or something you buy for yourself, the good thing (I assume and some people I know) about buying something cool, is that you will be the first one to open touch and possibly see the the product (before anyone you are around that time). Knowing the feeling of that you have brought something and get to open it is a little bit of the best part in buying it.

I get all happy when I open a product or some sort of gadget and get to use it first. What I don't like is when someone opens something I have brought before me taking away some of the excitement of having that product, this could be that I have brought phone and needs charging or any other gadget. I am so obsessed about it, even as little and a CD or DVD. I would like to know if I am STRANGE or do normal people feel this way comment and say YES or NO to this.
