Oldie Proof Tops.

Confound these blasted bottles,

I'm struggling with the top.

'Child proof' it says upon it

That caught me on the hop.

It's now becoming clear to me

If I want to shift this lid

I'll have to put my shoes on

And go and find a kid!

Too true Don, they drive me crazy.

I wonder if the manufacturers have a group of children they can call on to actually test the tops . Most of them should read ‘pensioner proof ‘😊

[Magpuss]

Soooo infuriating aren't they!

[sassy59]

Very true Don! Xx 😂👍😘

[mrsmummy]

Thank goodness they are not childproof! My grandchildren open mine for me whenever I get stuck.

Makes you wonder what's the point dunnit?

[mas7656]

I can't open them either 😣

[Stumpy55]

Isn't that a fact Don, they never make the tops easy to open. I like your poem 😁xxx

Very true Don...I'll loan you my two year old next time you're stuck...she can get into anything!! 😂 x

So So true

I often can’t open a jar/bottle even medicines. Particularly hard are those you have to push down and twist. I usually break them with force (nut crackers) and then it’s never secure. Drives me crazy.

[Hidden in reply to Joy123]

The squeeze both sides ones have me beat. I have a rubber cone thing for the press and twist ones.

I'm exactly the same Don 😀😀x

[MoyB]

Absolutely! A three year old can manage to undo them, but I can't! xx Moy

They're blooming awful Don. I have problems with any kind of tops not just the childproof ones and my biggest ally in the kitchen is an old nutcracker. It's saved my bloodpressure rage many a time. Just need to find something to open a packet of biscuits now. I usually try to stab between two with a sharp knife and end up with a few broken bits. Oh the joys of getting old ( who am I kidding I "got" old a long time ago ! ) Sheila xx

[Hidden in reply to mskpjb]

Are you remembering to look for that red line near the end? Mind you, you still get broken ones when you pick them up off the floor.

very true thank you xxx
