Those blackberry bushes! When I was kid and we used to play in the woods, we'd get all scratched up from the blackberry thorns.

There used to be a lot of blackberry bushes behind the building at work. The fire code mandated that we have a fire escape route from the back of the building, but it was impossible to go out that way because it was so overgrown. Therefore, one of my co-workers was assigned to trim the bushes to form an escape route out to the parking lot. It took him a couple of weeks, working on and off, to cut a path all the way from the back door to the parking lot. Then every month or so he had to maintain it by cutting the bushes that kept growing back. This continued for a couple of years, until the new boss decided to just bulldoze the whole area and solve the problem once and for all.
