Cling-film.
Not entirely sure if I hate it, or it hates me.

Forty-mumble years old, and I still cannot tear a decent shaped piece of the hateful stuff to cover my sad left-overs for tomorrow's lunch.

Even worse is dear-wife's (TM) ability to grab the package and with one deft swipe tear off a piece that fits perfectly, and even more aggravating is that it does not attempt to stick every molecule of clingfilmy badness to every other molecule.
bah!

I have the same
problem, even tinfoil will refuse to tear properly for me.

It's worse
When it doesn't quite peel off fully, so a bit gets left behind and you're pulling off pieces which are getting narrower and narrower until you realise that you can only get at about half the width and the rest is still coiled up.

The same is true of pallet-wrap, in fact even more so as it's thicker and stronger.

I like the noise it makes
When someone is wrapping it around and around a stock cage. It's sounds like an 80s arcade game.

I agree with the motion
One of my friends removes the roll from the box so you don't even have the serated edge or blade to help. Of course she has no trouble tearing off a perfectly straight edge while my attempts have meant a nearly new roll finishing up in the bin. How much extra space does a cling film box take up in a cupboard?

You can get it in
a plastic box thing now, that has a doofer you lift up which pulls the end of the roll clear. You then pull out what you want, and it has a cutter in the lid.

It works quite well.
