That is the most annoying thing in the world. I don’t think I’ve ever not opened the leaflet end.

There must be term for that, experiments done, studies conducted, focus groups held, reports produced, press releases issued. Like there are about dropped toast always landing jam side down.

It's Schrödinger's Leaflet.

While the packet's unopened, the leaflet could be facing either way but, the moment you decide to open the packet, it's at the open end.

It's counter-productive too, because the frustration causes one to angrily fling the leaflet away, positively refusing to read it.

Anyway, I hope your headache's better, Wendi.

It is.

Whenever I have a bag or suitcase clearing out, there are always several of those leaflets - sometimes scrunched from when it happened, but often still folded (they drop faster if you leave them folded, obviously, but that doesn’t offer the satisfaction of destroying it in a rage, so six and half a dozen).

I found one in my car yesterday while looking for a receipt.
