Is it only me.....

Who struggles with child proof tops on bottles and jars. I have two different sizes of contraptions which are okay for jars. It's the bottles I struggle with. The type that you push down and then turn. At present I have a bottle of bleach, a bottle of toilet cleaner and a bottle of aspirin. I feel like taking them back to the shop as not fit for purpose. Reason I can't get the flipping lids off.

Not just you at all - having broken both wrists over the years, I struggle like mad with those too.

[Robinia]

Me too...I call them human proof tops.

[Jeza]

Unfortunately I have no one to call on for help. Even My neighbours are all older than Mic and I.

[tinkerbell23]

Im considered young and now and again ive struggled especially with bleach!!! X

[daffy654]

I struggle more with the ones where you have to squeeze the sides in and turn.

I once couldn't open a jar of beetroot so in a fit of temper went outside and threw it against the garden wall.................when I looked round my neighbour was wetting himself laughing :-(

[woofgang]

craft, my Mum did this once but it was the kitchen wall she baptised.

[Jeza]

Craft, Wolfgang. I bet the lid still didn't come off.

[Jemisa]

Jars, I get the rolling pin with a sharp knife and bash a small hole in the lid, this releases air & one turn & its off.
I make sure I buy aspirin in packets. I never buy bleach.

[nannybooby]

ooh I gave up those contraptionsyears ago if its on medicine i ask the chemist to loosen the top as I will never get in. Also some tablets in pop out packs are a nightmare for anyone with arthritus.

[Georgiesmum]

I had some tablets in a childproof pack. Next time i got my prescription i asked the chemist and he gave them to me in an easy open carton pack. so i never have that problem now. thank goodness.
