It IS possible. Every time I slide my finger under the flap of a new box of Coco Pops to open them, I get my finger cut open
I once managed myself with the straw when trying to open a Caprisun.

I've never been successful opening a Caprisun. Either the foil hole just won't open and I end up bending the straw. Or the hole opens and the drink spills everywhere!I once managed myself with the straw when trying to open a Caprisun.

I also have issues with Frubes, those yogurts that come in a tubey packet thing. The tear open part never 'tears open', it just tears off, and the pack remains sealed. I work in a school for children with special needs and a boy with autism would always have a frube in his lunch box. He always ate his food items in a set order and I would dread when he passed me his Frube to open, it was like ok, ok no pressure, just tear along the dotted line, how hard can it be. But every time it would just tear off and he'd reach for it and the world would end when I hadn't managed to open it
I also once drank a nutrimilk and managed to step on the ringpull, that went rather deep . I'm fairly accident prone, one day, I may be able to convince people that all the scars are a result of something a little more dramatic. Also have a few scars from a dog attack, one scar from walking into a lamp-post (was about 9), one from deliberately stepping on a rake to prove it only happened in cartoons (I was wrong), several from a night out last year (don't walk 8 miles when you've clearly had enough), a few more - oh and one from managing to trap my finger between a mooring pin and a sledgehammer, a few from when I decided at 5 to play with a razor, a burn from a halogen over and a dislocated shoulder, twice. Other than that I'm fine, although I do now have a very high pain threshold .
Sorry that made me laugh. My son has autism and you're so right about these little things being a big problem..I've never been successful opening a Caprisun. Either the foil hole just won't open and I end up bending the straw. Or the hole opens and the drink spills everywhere!

Oh and I also took one of these apart a couple of years ago:
The panels all come off, as do the doors, but there's a steel fram, naturally I undid all the bolts, it split like a banana and the top - which weighs about 20Kg fell straight on my head, it bounced off and I ended up wearing it like a collar - that hurt, I wore a hardhat for the next two weeks - which was quite useful as I managed to take a shortcut through a building site on the way to lunch.
I bought myself a new graphics card some time ago, and I took the old one out and put it next to the new one. And realised I should probably have checked the size of the things before I bought the new one, since it was about twice the length. "Are you sure it's gonna fit." "Course it's gonna fit." "Yeah but..." "IT'LL FIT." Who says the IT people know what they're doing?
I think knowing the order that he ate his food acted like a countdown to the moment when he was going to thrust the Frube at me to open and that just added to the pressure to trying to open it successfully!Sorry that made me laugh.

Not being considered and being taken for granted.
Children are lovely and need exercising regularly - a bit like a dog! As long as they are taught how they are generally well behaved. A bored child is a child that will get up to mischief. I have 3 grown up boys 1 has had his A Levels cancelled and the other 2 have decent jobs and are reasonable members of society. If you show a child a responsible way of living they have a good role model. Not all children are bad or unruly. All children want is love and a stable background and routine.I know this is selfish but being kept indoors with a kid (I don't have kids and this is just reminding why every damn day)
Yeah I know as I'm from a big family myself (6 when we all get together and 21 grandchildren all younger than me (endless babysitting)Children are lovely and need exercising regularly - a bit like a dog!

Yep, same thing happened to us when we had problems with our broadband in January. It took a month of repeated calls, retelling of what the problems are, constant transferring of calls (from India, to Glasgow, then to Dublin and God knows where else) and sometimes being dropped off call! My hubby has resulted to telling them first hand to pull up his account and read all the complaints in their record before they ask him what the problem is.BT!
Trying to get through to customer services is a nightmare. I cancelled my mum’s telephone line on 13.1.20 after she had moved into a residential care Home and received an email of confirmation on the 14.1.20. Checked her bank statement and they are still taking money monthly out of her current account. Eventually got through after three tries and two hours later, spoke to one of their advisors who apologised and received three emails to confirm they will refund the payments and close the account. One hour later got another email to confirm new dd payment of £26 per month! I am going round in circles and have all day to listen to crap piped music and it erupted by a Scottish lady telling me I’m in a queue and they are currently very busy! Total madness
People are burning garden waste now in Northampton because the council have put a charge on collection brown bin waste ( garden waste) so no other option, other than get ripped off. They won't even hold the charging for collecting bins whilst corona is going wild. MadnessWith so many people being at home, some of which are having to self isolate, and are possibly following the advice to keep windows in shared rooms open, can all the other people NOT be having bonfires in their back gardens PLEASE!
The disease sweeping the world is known to affect the lungs and people's breathing, so deciding to burn whatever waste you may have in the garden is a completely selfish thing to do. Especially when you live on a housing estate and there are people living all around you
Also, my guinea pigs live in an outdoor hutch and I don't like the fact that at any time of the year, in 2020, people think it's OK to have a bonfire in their garden.
