    I cry "Foul"!

    Who is the evil genius, the foul-minded meanie who invented blister-pack containers for antihistamines that are impossible to open while sneezing?

    I don't know who it is, but I say we blister-pack everything in his house. Every day.

    Even the common band-aid? I think it's already sufficiently hard to unwrap when your hand has a bleeding finger.

    There should be a sneeze-release, so that a genuine sneeze pops it open automatically.

    Okay - I've got one

    Why do they call it a TV set when you only get one?

    I believe that this phase TV SET or RADIO SET means that the unit will work without any assembled being require you could at one time buy the parts in a kit and assemble your set

    Wasn't that the idea behind the brand names of some medications like Tryopenine?

    There's a few things that really get under my skin. You've hit on one of them. Usually I end up opening the things with my pocket knife. Another thing that bothers me is assembly directions on various stuff. I contend these problems could be avoided if the manufacturers would use about 10 off-the-street people as a focus group. See how well they do and adjust product to make things a bit easier or clearer.

    I not trying to HiJack your thread but pill bottles that require you to press down while you twist are for able-body persons, the drug store that I buy my medicine from got a tag on the side of their bottles ,pressing down on this tag and the top screw off easy
