I got out to get a prescription medicine. It came in a little handy plastic bottle. Then, when i got home, the problems started.... I had to open the darned bottle and that proved to be a dangerous business. I'm happy to be alive to tell the tale. The dar bottle had, you guess it right?, a child safe cap or lock or whatever its called. GRRR. Do they have them over there too? Anyway i turned the cap. Nothing. I pushed And turned. Nothing. I screwed the cap in every direction known to man and did not gain entry to my newly purchased medicine. Then i lost patience, and i am a patient man, and called in the extra resources. I took out the kitchenknife! I thought, a bit wildly perhaps, i could decapitate that darn bottle and get to the medicine that way. A knife ought to be able to handle plastic, right? So i went to work. Soon some plastic pieces were scattered as i began to butcher my enemy (that was how i saw the bottle now) but i slipped and injured one of my fingers. I left blooddroops on the kitchen table! I was injured but i didn't give up and soon i managed to deal my enemy the fatal blow. The road to the treasure (that is my medicine) was open. It cost me blood, sweat even if i managed to keep the tears in control. I ask you: why make this kind of things that can't be opened? I know i'm not Einstein but still. Child-secure caps! Pfui!! I spit on you. They are not secure to children, they are secure against the majority of mankind.
And thats not all, to utterly humiliate me i did not manage to get soap out of the plastic bottle i had bought it in. It was this floating soap that you pump out of the bottle with a simple push. But how to get it working. I screwed, turned and pushed in every direction i knew. No result. I took it back to the store. I actually had to humiliate myself by asking how to do it. And he took it, screwed on a part of the cap i thought couldn't be screwed on and it was done. In five seconds. Guess i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer..... At least when it comes to practical stuff i'm not the go to guy, that much is clear. Are you as impractical as i am? Or am I an uniqum on this planet.
