That's what happen to Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm,
he bought an exacto knife at the hardware store to open the package he had at home, they put it in a bag for him, so on the way home he saw his friend was in a car accident and he couldn't get out as his seat belt was stuck so Larry ran back to his car to get his exacto knife to cut his seat belt but when he got it out of the bag it was in impregnable plastic packaging smile
