Things change as we get older, things we used to do as a much younger self are now becoming a challenge.
But is it only due to our aging bodies?
Recently I've noticed a bone spur on my knuckle on the finger that was jammed back when I was 11 playing outfield in a school softball game... without a glove. Ball hit me straight on my two longest fingers. Bent one up at the first knuckle and turning in the other finger in an odd way.
Noticed this as I was trying to remove the cap from the creamer for my coffee.
I used to not have much struggle opening things but I'm thinking back for the past 6 months maybe and realize it may not just be me.
I looked at the twist off cap, the one you open before the tamper resistant finger pull seal.
Now I don't think it's just me having trouble with this but that the manufacturer of these cardboard liquid containers (milk, creamer, OJ, eggnog and the like) are making the cap smaller. Not in diameter but in thickness. It's hard to grasp onto. I suppose it's a environmental thing but I wonder if they've even considered how it accepts the consumer. Not just the elderly but also others that are impaired of their fine motor skills?
