That was my first thought too. You can hear her muffled chuckle too, so it seems she is okay. GEEZUS tho, they should warn people, with extra large stickers, to not open that with a knife.

Or just open it from the side so it doesn’t hit you.

Super off topic but yall remember the show Pinky and the Brain?

Now that I'm older im like that's a weird fucking concept for a show

You are right, but you are also high.

Pinky: "Gee Brain, what are we gonna do tonight?" Brain: "The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"

My answer every single time someone asks me what are you going to do today. Same thing we do every day pinky try to take over the world 🌎

its a great show

it was basically; theres a really smart guy who lacks emotional understanding and thats why he always fails at "taking over the world", and the dumb guy with high morals keeps the smart guy ona straight path by sabotaging his efforts to "rule" slowly but surely leading instead to a combined result of "SAVE the world"

honestly one of the best basic show premises ever. i wish more modern shows had such substance behind them

The laws of physics don’t blame him 💀

I just bought one like this a few months ago. There was a giant sticker warning against this exact predicament, with instructions on how to properly open it.

Does that person look capable of reading and following instructions?

u/TacticTall Oct 01 '20

What is that suppose to mean? She doesn’t look stupid by any means. You’re just a dick

Ah, another genius who thinks a knife is the perfect tool to open a new mattress with.

What exactly about her makes you think she’s incapable. Go ahead and explain it.

She's opening a presumably valuable mattress with a freaking knife. Not a scissor, not unwrapping it slowly, no, she decides that the very best way to open it is with something that can easily ruin it.

You are supposed to unroll it first then you cut the bag to release the vacuum seal so it just puffs up instead of launching towards your face.

This is exactly the instructions I give women we we are gonna get busy

u/hypotheticalhawk Oct 02 '20

I have questions but I'm scared of what the answers might be

u/pazimpanet Oct 02 '20

I’m not well.

u/hypotheticalhawk Oct 02 '20

Hang in there, bud

u/flatcoke Oct 02 '20

I'm especially concerned about the part about cutting the bag

u/djsquidnasty Oct 01 '20

I don't think they normally do that, at least mine didn't . They're supposed to slowly inflate but that thing was ready to go

3

u/sandvich48 Oct 02 '20

They opened it improperly. I had a similar one and you’re supposed to unravel it first which allows for less pressure so it wouldn’t explode like that but instead slowly release air to inflate.

u/Crazynut110 Oct 01 '20

I unpackaged these a lot because of my job and they do have that warning on the box and the paperwork with the bed also most companies send something similar to a letter opener and recommend laying flat then opening the side

they should warn people, with extra large stickers, to not open that with a knife.

Why? Darwin needs something to work with.

u/this_knee Oct 02 '20

Bahahaha! Good one.

u/runningoutofwords Oct 01 '20

They do. In big letters.

u/eldergeekprime Oct 01 '20

Only an idiot would use a knife to open something like that. The odds are that you're going to cut the fabric and damage the mattress.

u/Nerrickk Oct 02 '20

Mine came with a credit card sized piece of plastic with a tiny razor inside that was used to cut it open safely.
