Bad Ergonomics - Example 8

Pointer
opening the packing
Removing the packing material

I thought exactly the same!
However, the experience you will have will be the same as always, no easy opening. The problem is the arrow, which you expect to be pointing at the beginning point, the opening. It points however in the opposite direction, i.e. how to remove the plastic. I think the arrow is ambiguous and that that should be avoided
