JAR LIDS, BOTTLE CAPS, AND PLASTIC CASES

It tough enough for seniors to deal with childproof lids on medications, but it’s almost as bad trying to get a cartridge of computer ink out of it’s plastic case. I’ve been digging at a pack with a scissors now for about 10 minutes, and still haven’t gotten the doggone thing to open up.

Another pet peeve is toilet bowl cleaner.  Ugh, that’s nasty stuff, but we all have to keep it on hand.
Of course, the manufacturers have to be extra careful because it’s not only toxic, it can burn your skin.  You sure don’t want a kid getting even near it.  So of course, getting the cap open is an exercise in frustration.  You twist and turn it this way and that.  Then you pound it and squeeze it.  Just as you’re about to go back  to the #DollarStore and ask the clerk to open it, you finally hit the sweet spot.  Voila, it’s open!

My husband has a cousin who lives in LA.  Last week, she had to walk to the supermarket to find someone who could open a pickle jar. I know, they sell those rubber things that are supposed to help you get a grip, but they don’t really do the job.  Maybe they should have a senior friendly section in the supermarket with easy to open products.
