I just opened a new pack of plastic cling film last night (not Saran brand) that, instead of the jagged metal bits to let you tear it off with one hand, now includes a linear slicer that you have to slide left and right to cut the wrap. It is maddening. You have to place the roll on the counter, carefully pull out as much plastic as you want using both hands, then fiddle with the slicer slider to get it to cut, and then you end up with a big ball of plastic wrap that you have to carefully untangle.
You've made it worse!
