Easy Open Bag

Having hard water, we go through a bunch of softener salt. That salt comes in 40 or 50 lb. bags. The nice people who make the bags tried to make my life easier by putting perforations near the corner of the bags so that I can open the bags and dump them out without needing tools.
The only problem is that they didn’t communicate that well with the graphic designers who arrange the printing on the bags.
When this bag design started appearing around here, I took the claim at its word and attempted to rip open the bag starting at the edge directly above the end of the arrow.
However, due to either the miscommunication or someone’s trying to be funny, that’s not where they put the perforation. So when you try to rip it there, it does not work.
Now I know to grab and rip where the arrow does not point. The arrow is just a decoy. Aim for the perforations.
There shall be an opening at its top in the middle of it; around its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn.

Yes of course. Life can be hard, especially for People who claim big problems like this one. What about using a scissor ? Bags like these have been invented for industrial purpose.

I think you may have missed the point of the post. The arrow was put on the bag for one purpose – to show where the perforations are. And instead it points to where the perforations aren’t.
The bag was made for home use, not industrial, and it’s not hard to open due to the perforations, so there’s no need for scissors either. This whole thing is not a big problem, rather it is amusing that … hmm … I think anyone who is going to understand it will have it by now, so no sense in explaining further.
