Default Can you open envelopes properly?
Not like ones you get birthday cards in, but ones that have bank statements, etc. I always rip them without fail

Nobody's got time for this, except Jessica with her knife.

It depends. Some open up easily whilst others are glued with that annoying super glue that tears the whole thing apart

No. They use too strong a glue

I end up getting a finger in and ripping it from the side, though not so long ago I ended up ripping a cheque for like £800 that way

Occasionally they rip but mostly they open fine , you're prob being a bit boisterous

If it can open easily then I'll do it with that but things like bank statements that you can't open easily without ripping I absolutely hate

Use a paperknife, or a sharp kitchen knife (not too big)
