Rips, tears, broken and never to be opened

That worked when I had my bratty ill-behaved little lap dogs, but when those models passed on we replaced them with a shelter mutt (Akita, German Shepherd and Chow mix). DH took over the training of this new model and trained her not to eat ANYTHING that wasn't in her dog dish. It's the best behaved dog that ever lived. I think he ruined her.

Been there done that!! It's supposed to make life easier but I think it just complicates things!! I don't do packaged shredded cheese because I don't like eating the sawdust that is added to it!!! Prefer to shred my own and know that I won't turn into a woodchuck!!!

I hear ya! I have trouble opening everything lately....Me a grown woman, fell down like a kid in the parking lot downtown, while walking into work, and I naturally put both hands out to catch myself....Landed flat on my palms and both hands have been sore for about two weeks.......It's getting better though, but opening things is really a pain in the.....well palms! LOL

So I can especially relate to your dilemma with these things......

Bag of chips yep all over the place.
Cracker bags same thing. I hate plastic most days
Trying to use saran wrap and it sticks where you don't want it and won't stick where you do want it.

I have 6 dog vacuum cleaners they are a blessing some days.

Arthritis in both hands - and a new box of BC Powders. How the heck am I supposed to open that when my hands don't work!

Dayquil gelcaps!

Nyquil gelcaps!

I'm sick! I'm weak! I'm cranky and can cry at the drop of a hat because I don't feel good!

Then they go and make those fricken fracken blister packs positively adult-proof. And you know you can never find the scissors when you need them!

I use a steak knife, risking the arthritic limbs daily. Benadryl- trust me, no child will EVER get into that blister pack! (nor will most adults)

ANY lunch meat in a zipper bag- you'll starve before you get that bag closed again! How about the precious toilet paper that needs a knife to open the shrink wrap??? What WERE they thinking?!

Not quite sure why they call it child-proof because if you give it to a child they can get into it in seconds. Now an adult on the other hand....................

I tend to use foil because saran wrap just makes me angry. It even stick to you but yet won't stick to the bowl?????

I used to hate those milk cartons as a kid because I'd always open where they said to open but it never would open the correct way...

I finally abandoned trying to open most bags by hand and just keep a pair of scissors handy all the time. I got so sick of spilling stuff and cursing!!
