It is said that as one ages, one becomes more childlike. I know for sure that, at least in one aspect, that is true. I can't open a darned thing. In an effort to protect the little ones, packaging has become so difficult that the contents are safe from me, too. I did go to the doctor yesterday about my arm...nothing for it but to wait it out another week or so, but he did suggest Benadryl. I did stop and pick up the medication. Yeah, well. The pills were packed in one of those blister-packs. It took ten minutes and a really sharp knife to get one dose. No wonder they help you sleep...you're exhausted by the time you get to bed.
I have the same problem with some plastic bottles. The caps are designed with children in mind. I could die in the Sahara by the time I get the cap off to take a drink. It takes a screwdriver and pliers to accomplish the deed. Even cardboard boxes are a challenge, and then the contents are wrapped in layers of plastic to work through. A bag of chips is so well sealed that the bag explodes by the time you've pulled hard enough.
I throw a childish temper tantrum as the manufacturers save me from myself.
Stay safe. Be well.

Agreed...can’t open some bottles at all
End up using knife to cut tiny tabs.
I have to save things for any strong visitor, even mailman, to open
Ridiculous
I can't help you with the hard ones BUT...scissors to cut the top off the chip bag is really easy and satisfying.
