The article discusses the frustration of opening pill bottles and packages due to misleading instructions and suggests including scissors in packages for easier access.
The most pressing problem are the words “press here” found on most pill bottles . They are followed by the words “to open.” Not happening. Believe me, I have pressed, pushed, prodded and been driven to profanity to get these little guys open. Fortunately, I have delightful neighbors, so when I appear at their door with a pill bottle in hand, I don’t even have to say anything. The look on my face tells them that whatever is in that bottle is likely something I need ASAP.
While I’m on the “p” words, let’s talk about “pull here,” followed by an arrow that always seems to me to be going in the opposite direction of the padded envelope. I have pulled, pounded, even cried as Lark kitty begged for her trapped tasty tuna. If Amazon wants me to be able to open packages easily, they should include a pair of scissors so I won’t have to keep going to the kitchen to retrieve mine. I promise you it’s the only way to open it. Think small stabs until you get an opening big enough to scisso
