Wrapper Wrath. A Cough Drop Rant.

You’re Sick... Must You Also Be Loud?

I’ll never understand why it takes so long for people to unwrap cough drops.

Unwrapping for upwards of sixty seconds. You know the setting: the quartet is in the middle of Der schwer gefaßte Entschluß: Grave, ma non troppo tratto and the guy in front of you foresees a great coughing fit. The crinkle. The folding. The ripples of laminated paper releasing narratives of noise while being restored to flatness.
