    What's up with bottle caps?

    Has anyone noticed what they are doing with bottle caps lately. Alot of new ones are not only harder to open but the ribs on the cap seem to be rougher. Combine the 2 and you get raw skin from trying to open them

    Maybe he should get a girl to open it for him instead?
    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you.

    Same with trying to rip the cellophane on cereal.

    Whew... I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought it was due to my old man shoulders.

    Got a Universal remote not too long ago and was afraid I was going to destroy it before I could get it out of it's packaging.

    Peanut shells seem tougher these days as well. And zippers? Well, I don't need to tell you guys.

    And my orange juice might have more pulp too.
