I wasn't quoting entertainment though.

When my daughter was 4 or 5 and down in bed with 39 C fever, I was having trouble opening her bottle of ibuprofen syrup. Child proof cap of course, so too hard for a 29 year old.

So I heard her - barely speaking because of the fever - "daddy let me help you". I brought the bottle to her bed and of course she opened it the first try.



I never understood this, I assumed it was geriatric people complaining because they literally don't have the strength to push down and turn, not that normal abled bodied adults were too dumb to figure out that you have to push down and turn, especially since the instructions are on the lid itself.


Some of them are also squeeze caps so their fingers might be too shaky


And, that shit works for you on the first try every time?

Do you practice daily?

Within the first couple of times at least unless it's physically defective or something. It's not really something able bodied people have problems with.
