The truth is, it actually doesn’t nearly take as much as some folks think to create stress and discomfort.
We’ve gathered some prime and often hilarious examples of little irritations in life that aren’t that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, but can still cause headaches. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own examples in the comments below.

I Hate These Stupid Plastic Tabs You Find On Clothing. All Of This From One Pack Of Socks
Those little connectors have nothing to do with security. They're used to attach labels to fabric without punching a hole in it. Or in this case, to hold the socks together during packaging so they don't slide all over the place and come unfolded. (I worked in production at a quilt and cold-weather clothes factory)
Load More Replies...Then if you dont cut them off they will snag your brand new socks and ruin them. I should know because it just happened to me.

In the US the ADA requires levers in commercial settings, but in residential buildings (possibly excluding some apartment buildings?) you can still use a k**b. For a fairly long time, most building codes have required that handrails for stairs have a return that reaches the wall specifically to prevent this sort of thing.Perhaps down the road we'll see a requirement for a similar return on door handle levers, but in the meantime there's definitely no prohibition on using them voluntarily.

I Just Hate When This Happens
I hate the boxes that say push in with thumb. The whole box will collapse before a thumb will push in. I think it's the strongest part of the box.
I sometimes use a utility knife when I open raft Mac & Cheese because the flaps are *very well* sealed. The choice for the manufacturers of some products is to either seal the box thoroughly or put the contents in a sealed bag inside a box that opens more easily. The boxes are a pain in the a*s, but that's the tradeoff to avoid wasteful packaging.
Try to remember how great your life is when something this trivial bothers you, compared with the things so many others have to endure.
Agreed, but this tends to be the last thing that happens at the end of a day replete with shittitude, and then I growl and tear up the packet completely and have to look for a container.
Load More Replies...I don't try to do this manually any more -- just get a nice sharp knife and sliiiiiide it down the edge.
Life is never as simple as one might want it to be. Even though most of us have a decent grasp of physics, as far as our own bodies are concerned, the universe still finds ways to remind us that even the most tiny little things can end up causing a lot of pain. Take, for example, the simple papercut.
The word alone is normally enough for most folks to have a visceral reaction. Some might shudder, others cringe at the idea of running a finger along the edge of a sheet of paper. For those who have never had to go through this, congrats. Simply put, the edges of paper, while fragile, are quite sharp and, as it turns out, we tend to have to manipulate paper with our hands.
How Did We Go From Paper Cups And Plastic Straws To Plastic Cups And Paper Straws?
I agree there are much bigger things to fix then making ourselves miserable with paper straws
Load More Replies...We went from paper to plastic to "save the trees", and now we're back to using paper to "keep plastic out of the ocean and our bodies." It's baffling to me how we just can't figure out the right thing to do for this planet.
The only answer, I fear, is to leave it. We seem to be heading that way... and I don't mean via space flight.
Load More Replies...What's the point of paper straws? They're just gonna get mushy the second you pit them in your drink.
They’re really not that bad, though. They only get mushy if you leave them in your drink for, what, more than an hour? I think most of us finish a drink sooner than that. It’s a net positive that the straws we only use for a few minutes break down more easily afterwards, so it doesn’t pollute the planet long-term like plastic straws.
Load More Replies...People complain about the paper straws today. They should have to deal with the ones I grew up with.
Stickers Like This Are Maybe A Bit More Than Mildly Infuriating
Acetone melts plastic, WD-40 works well and is safe on any surface.
Load More Replies...Little tip I learnt...use WD40 spray on annoying stickers and they peel off much easier 👍
I,did that some years ago! Sprayed it, waited about 10 minutes and voilá! Great tip!
Load More Replies...Any oil that soaks the paper should dissolve the glue and free the sticker.
I remove as much if the paper as I can and then slather it in mayo. Let it sit 10 minutes, remove with a plastic paint scaper, repeat.
Load More Replies...Sticky things will go easily away using some oil :) works like a charm
Every Damn Time! Why, Why Can't They Make A Packet That Just Opens
There was a consumer show in the Netherlands that once went to the manufacturer with their package and asked the VD to open it. He could not and only said "come back here in exactly two weeks" They did and he greeted them with "here, our new packaging. Please try it." Bit lame it took a tv show to make the change, but at least the guy made no lame excuses but took responsibility and action without any hesitation.
I get shoes and stuff from TEMU and it all comes in it's own zipper re-sealable plastic bag.....WHY???? can't cereal makers use resealable bags????
I don't mind using scissors to cut open a package. What annoys me to no end is the resealable bags that don't. I have containers, just don't set me up for frustration with your packaging lies.
Totally agree with this one. Is it REALLY that difficult to manufacture...
Ever-increasing profits. They used to work beautifully. They never did master resealable without a zipper.
One might ask, why do papercuts hurt that much? After all, there is nothing “mild” about one. Most would see it as the main tragedy of the day. In short, it’s a case where our own bodies work against us. Papercuts, mercifully, are often very shallow. The downside is that this means the finger’s pain receptors are exposed to the air without blood to help limit the pain.
These Damn Things
I've yet to hear or see an explanation for how these are formed. And why the hell do hurt so damn much? Mildly infuriating for sure.
oddly enough, i'm sitting here picking at one as i read this post. my problem is i can never leave it alone until i draw blood, then my finger is sore for the next day or 2. :-(
Watch out, there's a red arrow growing out of your...ehm, 🧐...out of your thumb...👍🏽
Do NOT pull them. Cut it close to the skin with a really sharp pair of scissors.
Moisturize more frequently, esp. if you work with drying materials like cardboard and solvents. As for hangnails, a frequent cause is cutting nails too short.
When A Pencil "Eraser" Does This
Pencil erasers are worse than useless; if you need something erased you have to find a white eraser. I don't think I've used a pencil eraser in 3 decades. So I wonder why they go to the effort and cost of adding them to every pencil they make?
Sometimes the eraser on a new pencil will do an adequate job, but a kneaded eraser is the way to go if you need to do a good job or erasing something. Gray seems to be the most common color, followed by white (until you start using it), so maybe that's what you're referring to?
Load More Replies...Yep, the eraser hardens after a period of time. Who knows how long that period of time is?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Load More Replies...Ticonderoga only in my house. I literally (and I actually know what that means) accept no substitutes.
Cheap pencils, even new, do this every time. I teach so I use a lot of pencils. My observation is that only "quality" pencils have good erasers, such as Ticonderoga and Business Source.
Every Single Time. Why Do We Still Use These?
I buy shredded cheese, and they all say "tear here". When I do, it invariably rips through the resealing strip. So now, monster that I am, I just grab my scissors and cut the packet open just above the reseal.
Half the time the resealing strip isn't properly glued to the packet, so the whole thing stays open. Packaging has really gone downhill.
Load More Replies...I just punch a hole in the middle and just grab an end and peel it around the edges. And if it's vacuumed sealed, it makes a satisfying pop sound.
This is the cost of production outsourced to 3rd world cheap labour market, there is no quality control. They know it is damned inconvenient for the corporate purchaser to have it returned overseas and await replacements, they count on this. Every sealing machine has specific temperature controls that need to be set specifically for each different label type, thickness etc, nobody resets jack s**t and the consumer gets sub standard every damned thing.
I'm not sure if this person understood how to open this kind of seal - it doesn't look like it. You're not supposed to pull at the clear bit all the way through! You grab it, LIFT it up perpendicular to the seal, then pull from one side to the other ALONG the line of where it's attached to the seal. Lift, then change direction and pull. It works, believe me!
I don't even try with these anymore, I skip straight to one of the little tabs that hangs over the edge and grab hold there.
That's how I have always done it and never understood why people found them so frustrating until I, as an adult, found out how you're "supposed" to be opening them
Load More Replies...and that's after the plastic seal that's already covering the whole neck of the bottle
i am so sick of stuff never opening right, I just cut the dang bag off and put whatever into a re-sealable bag....no more frustration.....gotta find my peace....
Not to mention, your fingers tend to have a lot of sensory receptors, after all, we can obtain a huge amount of information from just touch. In general, this is a good thing most days. However, when cut with a piece of paper, all those helpful little receptors are screaming at our brain that, actually, there is a major issue going on here.
This Garbage "Leather" Coating That Eventually Flakes Off And Gets Everywhere
I love these headphones (Anker Soundcore Life Q20), they have great sound quality and noise cancelation for their price. But my GOD can manufacturers stop trying to make imitation leather with this garbage? Every time I use them, my hands and ears get covered in little black flakes.
"Using actual animal sourced leather that lasts is *cruel*! Let's use petroleum based junk that disintegrates very quickly and takes up its real career of polluting the planet and wasting non-renewable resources!"
There's at least two chairs in my house doing that same thing right now.

My Copy Of The Scarlet Letter Becomes A Different Book After Page 176
So I bought this copy years ago and finally decided to read it, got to page 176, from there on out, it becomes Treasure Island.
You did not actually miss anything, has to be one of the most boring books ever written 🥱
Yes, I feel sorry for the person who got the other version
Load More Replies...From op: Yeah it finally switches back for the last like five pages of Scarlet Letter. It’s about 30 pages of Treasure Island
Mix up in the printing or more likely the assembling process.

I Hate When This Happens
See, it was even foretold on the label...it says that 2% of the lid will (must) always remain attached to the cup...🤭
To add more insult to injury, most commercial paper is treated with chemicals such as bleach. One doesn’t have to be a medical expert to realize just how uncomfortable, say, bleach can be if it gets in a wound. At the very least, the humble papercut serves as a reminder that even the smallest things can find a way to inflict a lot of discomfort.
I Can't Understand The Logic Of Putting The Power Button Right Next To The Delete And Backspace Keys
It’s like the file Delete option being directly above the Rename option in MS Word - like, really? Was that a good idea?
the power button goes either either all the way to the right, at the end of the row, or in the middle, but physically separated from the rest of the buttons!
Years ago, I put a rhinestone sticker on the off button of our alarm clock so I could find it in the dark, maybe that would help here too
In the meeting function on Teams the Share button in right next to the Close one. My boss accidentally leaves the meeting instead of sharing a document at least twice a week. :)
I'm Sure Someone Said This Already, But Roll Em Around On The Counter, Shell Comes Off Easier That Way
I've tried all the tricks for cooking and peeling hardboiled eggs and I've come to the conclusion that no one method works every time because every egg seems to be an entity unto itself. My solution is to place the boiled egg on a wooden cutting board, chop it in half with the single stroke of a cleaver, and scoop the two halves out of the shell with a spoon.
Every egg *is* an entity unto itself, except in the very rare case of identical twin eggs.
Load More Replies...They do that when they're very fresh eggs.. older eggs are better for boiling also add salt to the water and bring to a boil it helps
Apparently if you immediately plunge the egg into iced water that loosens things up and you can avoid this happening. It drives me nuts too.
I thought that was to stop the grey ring forming around the yolk? I've honestly not found it makes a difference to peelabiity and I do it every time. If you leave them in water and shake them it will make the shell loser and easier to peel. Otherwise, use older eggs.

I don't want it to to be alphabetical I wanted the weird typing configuration.
At our local car park you have to enter your registration number, it’s an alphabetical keyboard on the screen but in the shape of a qwerty keyboard, watching folks tapping their reg details in is a joy to behold, you can see brains imploding, me? I do it on my phone via the app 😀
I get annoyed because streaming services are not standard. Some do QWERTY, some do alphabetical, when you want to search. Come on, guys! Have a meeting and decide it one way or the other - but not both!
It's good for TVs where you're forced to use a remote, but bad for normal typing
I have just gotten used to AZERTY keyboard after five years of looking like my dad while typing, do not come at me with other keyboard layouts!
qwertz is also a fun variation as in it gives you the silliest typos
Load More Replies...The Bacon I Saw Through The Plastic vs. The Rest Of The Pack
The first few pieces looked great. Then opened it up to find the rest of it is mostly fat. I like a fatty piece of bacon, but there is a limit and the misrepresentation is mildly infuriating.
Congrats, Mr. Robert! You won today's reply lottery...🥓 🥇 🐼
Load More Replies...So you have some bacon fat to fry your bread in. It does look dishonest though
This is why you have to examine the package very carefully. Bacon here (US) generally has a "window" on both sides. I look at the smaller backside window and then compare it with the front. Are the striations consistent or do they change abruptly? If there's a marked change, I skip it. It's not foolproof, but most of the time it works.
Where are you getting your bacon? I've never seen a package clear on the back.
Load More Replies...When Jeans Seams Make This Move Around Your Leg
Well, I guess I'm going to be the weird one and say that I have one pair of jeans that seems to do this to me, but only on one leg. Not sure how or why it happens.
The fabric was cut off the grain. The fabric just wants to lie correct.
Load More Replies...This is actually a clear sign of cheap job at the factory. If your pants or t-shirts do that, it means they weren't properly cut and low price was put as a priority over quality. This is considered unforgivable offence in tailoring - purely wrong way. To get the right fit, individual pieces of a garment have to be cut along the grain of the fabric (kind of like with wood you can tell if this plank is cut from circumference - rings - or length - grain, fabrics have those too). This ensures all the pieces move, behave the same way, even after assembly. But even though it creates a higher quality products, there's more offcuts - meaning that you need to buy more fabric. If a brand doesn't care about quality and just wants their stuff cheap, factories cut pieces of garments whichever way may use the most out of a sheet of fabric. Kind of playing puzzles ;) And that's how you end up with half your pant leg stretching into different direction than the rest 🤷♀️
i got skinny jeans from top brands and this still happens. normal jeans from any brand it never happens. so unless no one can make skinny jeans correctly its a skinny jeans problem
Load More Replies...For some reason, the most famous jean brand in the world, "seam" to be the worst for this. 😘
Which one is that? Simply curious. Wrangler? Levi's?
Load More Replies...I once had a seamstress sew me a pair of pants. I tried pants on and this happened. Seamstress had the audacity to insist that it happened because my legs are crooked. Nope, lady. My legs deginitely aren't crooked, and even if they were, this wouldn't happen if you cut fabric straight.
No one is weird for having or not having this happen to them. I've had it happen once. You simply have not.
Load More Replies...one of my biggest pet peeves in regards to clothing! (aside from women's clothing having fake pockets or even worse--no pockets!)
It's because fabric is cut in many layers, and it can shift as they go. ALSO, tension isn't always good at the mill during weaving and it needs to be straightened, and nobody bothered. So things shift. Enormously frustrating.
My Prize Winning Carrot From This Year’s Harvest

I Hate You Home Depot. How Hard Is It To Get Labels That Don't Disintegrate When You Try And Peel Them?
Heat the sticker a bit with a hair dryer and it gets off like a dream. Works on every surface.
Tap with a soapy cloth then peel some and dry so the water doesn’t soak in. Repeat till the label is off
I hate that as much as I hate price tags on the glass of a frame or on the face of the mirror!!
I'm pretty sure those are deliberately made to not peel off easily because too many people would swap them with a sticker from something cheaper.
On other merch too. I bought something as a gift and the price tag sticker wouldn’t peel off without ruining it
liquid lighter fluid is good for sticky labels any residue can be removed with furniture polish, don't use it on cloth though.
I Just Peeled A Banana, Then Threw It Into Trash But Kept The Peel In My Hand
Made a stock once. Guess what stayed in the strainer and what went down the drain.
I poured fresh cat litter into the garbage bag instead of the litterbox. Took me a while to realise why something felt off.
Load More Replies...I just last night wiped my kitchen drain strainer, then tossed it into the trash, and had to do it all over again.
Same. Once when I was doing the laundry I removed some tissue paper from the pocket of a pair of pants and proceeded to throw the used tissues in the laundry machine. That was a fun half an hour cleaning bits of paper from the clean clothes...
I did this once when I was chopping vegetables. The peel, heads and ends went into my saucepan and my chopped vegetables went into the bin. Dammit.

This is just fancy software with algorithms and likely has the same machine learning that it’s trying to detect. The best we have are engines that are processing machine learning which is not AI. We do not have AI anywhere. And it what programs we have are still producing random often wrong results. I got a great one the other day from Google “AI”.

It Happens Earlier Every Year. It's September, They Have Already Started Taking Down The Halloween Modules
Nothing NW. When I worked retail in 1991-92, we started getting holiday merch in mid-August. My refusal to display any of it before Thanksgiving was part of the, ah, mutual decision that I would leave their employ...

Paying Off My Student Loan Counted As "Closing An Account" And My Credit Score Went Down
How am I supposed to build credit if paying off loans hurts me? Also mildly infuriating is that I am now 1 point off of having "good" credit.
Paid off house and credit score dropped out of the 800s.
Load More Replies...Credit scores are for businesses to see how good you are at steadily handing over your money. I hear they call this kind of person a "deadbeat" because they won't make money off charging them interest.
THAT is the kind of deadbeat I would absolutely love to be. F**k those stupid f*****g banks!
Load More Replies...Yup. This is totally bulllshit. A rational person would think that paying off a debt would raise your credit score. But banks don't want you to be debt free. They'd rather you pay their 25% interest for life!
The while credit system needs to be abolished globally and reinstated in a functioning way to actually serve the interests of the people. Banks as entities mustn't have any interests of their own.
That "credit system" does not exist globally. In Europe you build good credit if you a) not borrow money from a bank other than for the usual stuff (purchase of a car or house) and b) pay it off on time or quicker.
Load More Replies...Yup. I'm currently 100% debt free. My score went DOWN after I paid everything off. How ridiculous is that??? But it's gone way back up after I've maintained it for a few years. Now I have excellent credit. Still doesn't make sense though.
It's 100% a pyramid scheme. There is no product. All the money comes from people trying to raise the ranks so they can benefit
When You Wake Up With Your Pillow Sticking Out Of Your Pillow Case

Replaced ALL drawer "knobs" with "pulls" because of this.

My purse gets caught on the handbrake of my car nearly every time I go to get out of it. Which yanks me back inside the car. You'd think I'd check before I try to get out - but of course I don't!
I swear bathrobe manufacturers make the gap between buttons the *exact* height of cabinet knobs.
This is why I'm so picky about the type of handle I put on drawers and cabinets. I always go for ones that won't attack my pockets and sleeves.
So This Just Happened…
Just heard a large rumble, rumble, crash upstairs. I can’t understand why this happened. There was only 1000 hangars + 1000 shoes.
Must have been the dust!
gather 'round, chrrens, it's story time! this happened to me one day. and of course before i got around to getting it sorted, my kitty decided (as she was wont to do) that this was a good time to bring in the new snake friend she'd made down in the garage. when i came back from running to get my work gloves, it was headed into the closet. i managed to barely grab its tail before it disappeared because i knew if it got into that closet, i'd never be able to find it and would therefore have to sell the house and move. but i did grab it and took it outside and released it. good times!
Soooo i did this one in my closet. I grew up super poor and ill spare you the deets. So when i turned 31 i started making real REAL money so i then started buying a LOT of clothes and shoes. I had the same builder grade cheap closet system and it fn sux. Just go to any home store and let them know. I bought not a whole closet system but kept the racks and then fixed it with different reinforcements. While you're at it, start tossing the fast fashion clothes and shoes you no longer wear.
We had this happen. The original installer used cheep a*s wall anchors instead of installing the hangers into the beams. I replaced it with a shelf that runs the length of the wall with a rod on it. The hangers are now in the beams. That's not going anywhere.
Thats a bad builders grade closet. Its better to invest in something nicer because this also happened to me.
Every Time
Yep. I have this exact same box of tissues with the exact same issue.
Then when you try to pull that little bit off, a huge chunk of top comes off.

They were both the same price so it only made sense. Didnt realize until i got home. Thought it was fine cause i had to get tums, to find the same thing… and find another associate. Finding someone took about 5mins. The funny thing is they just hand it over right after and let you take it to the front.
There’s a Walgreens a few miles from my house that doesn’t even let people walk the aisles. They type what they want into a computer and a worker retrieves the items and brings them directly to the register, where the person pays before being given their items.
Dont blame the store. Blame the people that steal, and yes that includes people that "cut their bill in half" at the self check out.
Are you in a high-crime area? I've seen shows talking about how this has become a big deal in NYC, after they more or less decriminalized shoplifting.
A few miles makes a big difference. This Walgreens is closer to downtown, but is in an “interesting” area. I think the homeless shelter a block away probably plays a part in their restrictions. Edit: I’m in Chicago

Window Seat With No Window???
I’ve never been on a flight where the window seat has no window! If my job wasn’t paying for this I’d be super salty about paying for a non-existent view. But as it is, I’m just mildly infuriated.
I think if you pay extra for a window seat then you should damned well get a window seat.
Or at least be able to borrow a sawsaw! saw-bfb-saw.gif
Call the flight attendant, and politely ask her to bring you a window.
You could fly on a Boeing and have a window magically appear mid-flight.
It looks like this is a Boeing 737. Sometimes wishes do come true.
Load More Replies...unless if you're a child or its your first time flying I don't get why people are so cut about not having a window. oh no, you don't get to see a random land mass or just endless blue! I can't believe i'm defending airlines, but they sell seats, not windows.

Recently bought a jar of marmalade and I opened it for the first time today to spread on my English muffin, but it looks like it’s moldy. And while I was trying to google of it was maybe just sugar crystallization I burnt the English muffin.
That's not crystallization. It looks like someone opened the lid, put their fingers in it for a quick taste, and then put the lid back on and put it back on the shelf.

Honda Civic Decided It Doesn't Want To Show Me The Fuel Tank Level Today. One Of The Reason Why I Hate The Move To Digital
yeah, completely digital tachos are BS. " Oh, people shouldn´t use their phones while driving. Let us put a huge tablet in the center console of modern cars instead!" - " oh, what´s that? people get distracted by the tablet? Let´s make every single important function of the car digital!" I am just waiting for the time the first manufacturer rolls out the first car with no windows at all, instead using cameras to project the outside view in monitors inside.
And let's replace steering wheel and accelerator/brake with a touchpad! Slide up/down to go faster/slower and left/right to steer! Double tap sides for turn signals, tap for horn....
Load More Replies...So the style of gauge on modern cars has nothing to do with how they operate. For a long time now both styles have been electronically driven in the same way. The difference is purely in how the instrument cluster module reads it back to you. Both styles are driven by similar microprocessors and also function as essential "gateway" modules between different networks for all of your car's computers. The little sensors in the tanks commonly fail. It's a little 5 volt reference signal driven through a potentiometer with a float on its lever in the tank.
I'm glad I have a perfectly good 26 year old car with none of this garbage.
Your 26 year old car still likely has a bunch of computerized modules and at least 2 different networks between them all.

Spent The Last 3 Hours On This Puzzle For This To Happen
I swear I've triple-checked all the other pieces are in the right spot.
If they moved the piece to the right of the second empty spot to the first empty spot then the other two pieces will fit. You can see that the piece doesn't quite fit
We did an even bigger puzzle of Panini's "Gallery of Views of Ancient Rome". ONE piece was missing. Fortunately it was in a part of the painting whose pieces were mostly shades of the same color. I carefully cut a piece of cardboard to match the hole then used a magic marker with a close enough color to "paint" it. After the puzzle was framed, the "fix" could be detected only by careful inspection and only if you knew where to look.
Load More Replies...This nincompoop has got the piece bedside the RHS empty spot in the wrong place.
Move the one to the left of the left most open space to the right empty space, and it’s fixed!
Some manufacturers offer to send the missing pieces for you. But not all.
I've decided if anyone gets fired from the puzzle factory they steal at least one piece or swap a few around. I mean, I would
He just has them in the wrong place. The one just to the right of the hole on the right needs to put in the space on the left and then the two left over pieces fit together in the left space
Freshly Opened Can Of Jam Has A Big Patch Of Mold. It Even Made The Popping Sound When The Seal Broke
You can tell by the little tricorn hats and muskets.
Load More Replies...Insufficient cleaning and sterilization at the factory. Corporate cost cutting strikes again. Report it to the health inspectors.
That's not simple mold. That's a colony of C. botulinum bacteria. They will give you a nasty, possibly lethal, case of botulism. Avoid stuff with that look at all cost.
Factory problem here. If it popped, the seal was intact. So we have to assume that the mold was in the product at the time it was put in the jar. Look at the edge of the jar too. It has jam where you really do not want to see it since jam on the lip of the jar can cause seal failure. Return the jam and get it replaced.

I Hate Laffy Taffy Packaging
true the packaging can be a real pain in the but. it sticks to the candy and then comes off in little pieces. The candy is yummy though, so worth it!

Sometimes if it happens with a sweet with a paper wrapper, I will just eat it. XD
I didn't even know that they still made these. And Turkish Taffy, where you slam the entire wrapped bar on a hard surface, and it breaks into bite size pieces.

I’ve never once dropped my AirPods v3 without both of them flying out and going off a long way in different directions.

Load More Replies...I use brute force and separate this s**t. When I finish drinking I press the bottle to remove as much as possible air and then reseal.
I don’t have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with caps that are tightened so much you will tear your hands up trying to unsuccessfully open them. I have to use one of those gripper th8ng—-and even that doesn’t work on them sometimes! One time I gave up and used an old fashioned church key can opener (just Google it) to punch a big enough hole in the top to pour the soda into my glass through it.
I might be alone , but I like this. I used to drop the caps a lot, and because I'm easily distracted I would bend down to pick up the cap and invariably pour out the contents over myself or the floor. I've also just realised that I use plastic bottles very rarely these days.
Just in case you're not from the EU: new EU regulations this year have introduced caps that are much more difficult (damn near impossible at times) to tear off. This is to ensure people recycle the bottle+cap.

This is why you always buy enough for a project from the same dye lot. There is simply no way to guarantee a natural fibre like cotton will take the dye the same way every time.

Went To A Beer Festival With Standardized Cups, Turns Out The 250ml Mark Was Only Around 227ml
Went to this beer festival with a lot of different local breweries back in December. And basically they were cheating everyone by 10%. I'm not even sure if it was on purpose or just happen because they bought the cheapest beer cups they could find with their label printed on it... But they were cheating nonetheless. Also I filled the cup slightly above the 250 mark just to be "fair". But still only 227ml at the mark.
Per the almighty Google... "1ml is equal to 1g. This only applies to pure water. Other liquids have different densities."
I don't think that's beer in the cup. Water, maybe, @ 1g/ml excluding the cup.
