Opened mail and thought back to how I found it difficult to open an envelope without a letter opener; now that is not a problem anymore because I have a letter opener. Big shoutout to small tools that make life easier.

    I inherited my grandfather’s letter opener. He made it, that’s why we hung on to it.

    It really does make opening envelopes easier and more satisfying. Plus it keep the envelope mostly intact to it makes a good storage sleeve. Given that most things that come in envelopes (that aren’t junk) are things we have to hang on to (like tax records), it’s handy. Also my grandfather put a good edge on it, so it’s our best package opener too.

      As much as I try to always opt into e-delivery and out of snail mail, I still get snail mail addressed to me, some of which is actually important and which I realistically have no option to opt-out of.

    Damn letter openers! Think of all the poor unemployed people that studied letter opening science!

      I’m just trying to express happiness at a small thing that helped me out, not start an argument about automation and its impacts on other people. We’re in !dullsters, not !politics or !technology.
