Dear Theraflu

Why is your childproof cap impossible for me to open? I've gotten nothing but *click, click, click* from you for the past three days. Give up the goods!

  3. I am better. It's this cough and headache that won't leave me be. Now I'm just trying to regain my dignity with this bottle. I refuse to be beaten.

  4. I've been there. Last week I couldn't get the Tylenol Cold open so I stabbed the stupid thing until the pills were released. I needed those meds!
    Feel better!

  5. Oh I'm so close to going at this thing like a crazed animal.

    But I won't. Because I'm better than that and refuse to stoop to its level.

  6. I'm assuming the directions are to press down while turning? Maybe you need more leverage to press down harder? I hope you get some relief from the cough and headache. I'm so lucky I haven't been sick yet.

    *Keeping fingers crossed that I didn't just jinx myself*

  7. Yup. Sometimes I luck out. Other times, not so much.

    I just tried again...*click, click, click*

    I think I'm just going to say it's "broken" to make myself feel better.

  10. I had the same problem one time and do you know what I did? I wasted a couple of hours truggling and finally I cut the cap with knife and there is another small cap under that. I tried to open that one and it was even worse. So I cut that one as well and ...Since then I always do the same when it does not open.

    The stupid thing I ever came across in my life.

  11. I put the cap under hot flowing water in kitchen to warm the neck up. Then pressed and turned to open it easily.
