How to open those little bottles

Seems the little water bottles everyone sells are getting cheaper and harder to open. Just grasp the bottle at the bottom and twist the top and it comes off easy. I was gripping them in the middle and twisting and getting wet. Try it you will like it[^][:p]

    With some of my prescription bottles I could sure use some instructions on how to open them. The heck with child proofing them hell some of them I can't open.

    check the lid. Some of the new bottles you can just pull straight up and it converts to non child proof.

    Opening champagne bottles, I was taught to hold the cork, and twist the base, because there was more to get hold of there, hence better leverage.

    How about gallon cans of paint thinner type products[:(] Got to squeeze that little tab REALLY tight for the cap to catch[V]

    Had to use vice grip pliers on the last can of wood stain I needed to open.

    I can't explain why, but I seem to get a much tighter grip on the cap if I turn my hand "upside down" with my fingers above the cap, not down around the neck. And yes, holding the bottom of the bottle with the other hand does help against spraying yourself when the cap does come off.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I can open them just fine except the cold shower I take.[8D]
