Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Opening condiment bottles. There's often a clear plastic over the top that's impossible to grip well enough to remove without using a tool or your teeth. Once you get that off, there's always a seal over the bottle itself that you have to remove the cap to get to. Sometimes, there's a little tab you can grip, but not always, so it's back to teeth or tools. Inevitably, when you manage to remove that, a film is left that you have to poke a hole into to get off so that the contents can come out.

I understand the need for safety, but geez.

Thanks Mr. Tylenol Bottle Poisoner from the 80s. Now we have to have 10 layers of security and a secret code to get into anything.

Who has never been identified. I hope they stab themselves with a pair of scissors trying to open a package.
