Security

I have these moments when I have to wonder why people moan and complain about security issues. These moments usually occur right after buying a toy for my little girl from one of those upright dispensers conveniently located at the entrance/exit of any family type of establishment.

Yesterday, I had one such moment. Amadea wanted a toy, I forgot how irritating these things are, and okayed the procurement.

And that is when the fun started. And by fun I mean a GINORMOUS PAIN IN THE ASS PROCEDURE! We were in the car, headed down the highway at 110kmh, she cannot open her toy, so I must - MUST - help.

Except I don't want to stop the car. I was tired and just wanted to get home. This led to ten minutes of me beating the HELL out of this teeny tiny plastic container.

Seriously.

I whacked it on the steering wheel until I became afraid I might deploy the airbag. Then I smashed it on the dashboard, but only after calculating the least likely place that would deploy the passenger airbag. The picture you see here? That is how I finally freed her toy.

Screw safes. To hell with laser security. If you want to keep your valuables safe, package them in containers like these. They are a deterrent unlike any other.
