Exclamation Opening pack of tablets

Why is it that whenever I open of packet of tablets I always get the end that has the 'don't top yourself' leaflet folded over?

I've tried opening the top, the bottom, I've tried sneaking up on them, I've tried spinning them round to make them dizzy...nothing works and it's really annoying me!

Oooohh............ And me! And me!

And then when you try and stuff the tabs back in, the leaflet gets all scrunched up in the bottom and you can't close the packet!

I did that this morning. The simple thing to do would be to bin the leaflet, but oh no that would be too easy!

Oh and no matter how big your medicine cabinet is, it's always filled to overflowing, so the box of painkillers you need for your hangover end up falling on your head together with a packet or two of assorted plasters or johnnies.

Thank foof I'm not the only one... bleddy tablet manufacturers should stop putting them in there... if you are intending self harm,you're not exactly going to take 5 minutes to read the stupid bumpf* they include, are you?

* please note that the bumpf is intended to be useful if you suffer side effects from the med like the tommy **** or increased flatulence, but in reality the answer to the side effects? Seek medical advice. I think most sane people with an ounce of common sense would know to seek medical advice, if something peculiar started to happen

Sal has the same thing and she's on 5,000,000,000 tablets per day, just to stay alive!

We have a crappy little cupboard over the extractor fan in the kitchen, it's lethal! You have to open it with one hand whilst holding the contents back with the other, get what you want (usually on the bottom, at the back) and then shut the door really quickly!

I hate to tell you this but in two of my packets the leaflets are at the opposite end to the batch number
