How to Open a Tissue Box

Does anybody know how to properly open a tissue box so that on the first try you get only 1 tissue at a time? I always seem to pick a bunch of 10 before they come out 1 at a time. Perhaps this is just me, would like to know everybody's strategy in opening tissue boxes.

    Find a box of tissues already open'd.

    Be more careful taking the first one out

    It sounds like you're buying coles tissues.

      Tissues are very thin and they stuff a lot into the box, so when you retrieve tissues from a brand new box you end up also taking about 10-20 tissues at once.

      The problem solves itself over time when the box is no longer as full.

    • what other tissues do you buy?

  • If <deity> had wanted you to open tissue boxes you would have had smaller hands.

    Stanley knife around the perimeter, between 1-5cm down from the top surface. Lift top of box clear, there's your tissues ready to go.

    Like a circumcision, but the tissues are on the inside, not the outside.

    …Wait, you mean keeping the box intact??

      Box intact preferably. Love it though.

    • +1

      Of course keep the box intact, you can always use it for patching up around the house

    I think the answer is just going very slowly for the first couple, take 10 seconds or what have you to pull one out.

      that's what she said

  • +2

    Why don't you wait until you have a nasty cold to open a new box - that way, pulling out 10 on the first go is fine.

  • +2

    Push down the tissues and then lift out

    What's next ? How to pull a toilet roll ? lol

    • The toilet roll goes in the box AFTER it's empty.

      (Also solves original post.)

      …If you tear individual squares off.

      But who does that??

    slowly stick your pinky finger, and attempt to use Newton's Gerat Theorem, to angle your finger and transfer the kinetic force, in your fingernails to the tissue

  • My tissue box has an elevator on its bum, does yours?

    Most teenage boys learn how to do it 1 handed pretty quickly

    • And without using their dominant hand, too!

    I use my sleeve, if no sleeve then my arm

  • +3

    I pull the tissues out the side of the box and place them into a wooden tissue box. Looks nicer and no one needs to know I'm not using expensive brands of tissue paper

    Does anybody know how to properly breathe in so that on the first try you get only 1 lungful of air at a time? I always seem to breathe in a bunch of air before I can get one lungful at a time. Perhaps this is just me, I would like to know everybody's strategy in breathing.

    I feel like this is going to be the next forum post I see at this rate…

    Hi OzB
    How do I get out of bed?
    Thanks

    • +4

      Um,

      I think you are overthinking this…

      Break it down into the constituent parts.

      1. Why should I get out of Bed?
      2. See 1. above.

        Hey I didn't know that, thanks haha!

  • Just grab the first 10 out, and leave 9 on the top. Anyone caught taking from under the pile gets ejected from the family

  • +1

    I just can't figure out the actual question. Are you asking how to open a tissue paper box or seeking help for taking out a single tissue paper at a time?

    • Vague question indeed. How do I take only 1 tissue paper out at once after I remove the lid of the box?

      • +1

        Just be careful with the first one. No one can tell you the answer to this silly question in words without demonstration (only if you actually wanna know).

  • +1

    Use your nails to take the first one out.

  • +1

    Stretch the 2 clear plastic pieces, makes it easier to get just the first one.
