Lift, Snap, Turn,Tear

Who decides what to print on lids supposedly for opening bottles, tins, boxes or packages? I do a lot of online buying and encounter such advice weekly. Today, I wanted to open a plastic package containing plant food. The top said "tear along this line" and there was a tidy little notch designed to do so. I tried everything in my power to tear where the notch was but after a great struggle and sore fingers, I cut along the line with scissors. Under the scissor line, I was directed to lift the part that separated each side of the package for future ingress and egress access. I tried again, as hard as I could, to pull the parts apart so that the package would finally open. No amount of pulling and tugging did the job. I used my scissors to cut the side of the package in a final attempt. The same thing happens with the ketchup bottle and its silver cover that says "lift" on the teeny bit at the side, and doesn't lift unless I use a pair of pliers. At times, I take a sharp knife and score the thing all around to "lift" it off. Then there is the pain killer tablet bottle that says "press and turn". This lid is to prevent small children from eating the bottle of pills, therefore, I do get the point. I haven't had babies around for decades.  After turning and pushing down with aged hands that hope to have their pain relieved, if and when, the bottle of tablets do open, I sometimes lose patience and get a pair of hardy pliers and yank the top off.  My milk bottle works the same way. Under the plastic lid there is a seal make of silver metallic plastic that says "tear off". Unless one has claws like a crab, the tiny bit to tear off, doesn't tear. If I don't pierce it with a knife and rip it all 'round, out come the pliers again. Then there are other bottles that direct one to open so to pull out the swab or damp cloth and two or three come out at the same time.  And don't forget the tissue box that directs you, after zipping out the little tab on the top, "pull", you are overwhelmed by the generosity when three of four tissues emerge on one "pull". It also has  "pulls" that tear the tissue in the process. To open a "snap off" bottle of spaghetti sauce I called in the two men next door and they couldn't budge the thing. Nice way to meet the neighbours but somewhat embarrassing when they had to resort to a chisel. Why don't these containers say, Yank, Rip, Stab, Slice, Cut, Hammer. Not polite, but honest.
