Tethered Bottle Caps (www.neue-verpackung.de)

Yes I am aware that they're somehow supposed to reduce plastic waste because the cap can't get lost ... unless you cut it off, of course.

Yes I am also aware that there are people with disabilities (shaky hands, weak grip, etc.) who are thankful for these and actually like the design. Good for them, and I mean that in a non-sarcastic way.

But personally, I hate these things with all the "first world problems" rage I can muster and go out of my way to rip / cut / twist them off on every single bottle I buy. I don't like having the bottle cap directly in my face while drinking, or slipping in the way of the flow whenever I just want to pour milk, and on more than one occasion, I've actually cut my finger OR lip on these little sh*ts (not the same type as in the picture, but baldy-made longer "bands" that leave little plastic spikes on the cap and/or band).

No idea whether I should post this in the "unpopular opinion" section instead or if other people think the same, but to me, "mildly infuriating" describes them perfectly.

what i think when people struggle with the cap hitting their face

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Pretty much. Whenever I see these type of posts I can only think of some cavemen failing to figure out the most simple contraption. Those caps are literally not a problem at all, assuming you're not a complete moron.

ooooh. It’s IN the computer.

Its often the little things like this that make it clear for me who is indeed a moron.
Like oh, omg, that explains so much about that person.
That poor thing.

Now, I def need to not equate that with 'capabilities' of someone, even morons can brute-force achieve things I could never. They do it despite the handicap and I respect that.

Dont want to discuss problems or brainstorm when them but respect nonetheless (them and their work).

Most of us are in fact not what it's commonly considered neurotypical (I beehive they are a smol but just the most vocal group). And just like with folk on introverts/depressed/ADHD/autism/etc spectrum it's best to recognise, acknowledge, respect, and adapt to that (ie work and communicate a bit differently with each one of us, it doesn't take all that much, and the learning curve is just so unbelievably good at the start).

Yes, this is exactly it.

Is we just invented bottle caps for the fist time ever these exact same peeps would complain about it.
