We got some pastries on the last Costco run. The plastic boxes have reminded me that sometimes it takes domain expertise to be aware of how specifically hostile an object is.

Take plastic cake domes, the sort that have the black plastic "plate" underneath, and the plastic over top, and how you can never quite get them to close correctly.

A layperson has the chance of thinking, "Oh, this sucks, but I'm not a baker, I probably just don't know the trick of it."

A baker has the experience and knows the truth: while there are tricks, the plastic is truly malignant, and hates you. They're generally hostile, but they definitely hate the specific user who is trying to get them to close neatly.
