Current Bandaids are from hell. I have recently spent substantial time bleeding all over the floor trying to get one open. This was followed by applying a used handkerchief until I could get one open. Oddly enough, I avoided sepsis. I doubt it was because of the sterility of the Bandaid.

As to the letter, the parent was probably one of the group mailing chickenpox infected lollipops to one another. Those things are always galling, like the driver who cuts you off and gives you the finger because he perceives you are driving too slowly. The world if full of idiots. Don't change a working system to accommodate them.
