How about needing the aspirin and not being able to open it because of the freakin' child proof caps? I had to get another woman at work to open my Tylenol just the other night because of that. There should be an option to buy either. Not everyone has kids and we shouldn't have to live like we did all the time.
I hate the milk topic, too. You go to pour a big glass and get maybe an inch. But what's worse than that is if you don't have any more.
Here's something that totally makes me angry!
They'll have to pry my atomic fireballs from my dead hands. This is totally ridiculous.

POLS PUSH FOR MINT BAN
By LINDSAY POWERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 22, 2005 -- Political momentum is building for safer candy.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told The Post she is raising the issue with the Food and Drug Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission early this week.
She called the deaths, just two days apart, of Jocelys Santiago, 5, and Ashley Morrison, 4, "completely preventable." Yeah, it's call responsible parenting
City Councilwoman Christine Quinn, who chairs the Health Committee, is introducing legislation this week to ban large, round candy. She also wants a council hearing on the subject before schools let out for summer.
She said she originally planned to target only the peppermint ball candies. But The Post's findings - that 15 other products on local shelves were deemed by doctors to be deadly choking hazards - convinced her to broaden her approach.
"The results of this survey might require that we introduce additional legislation to address the other hazards that exist on candy-store shelves," Quinn said.
Council Speaker Gifford Miller, a mayoral candidate, told The Post the council would do "everything in our power" to keep deadly candy from children.
"It's a horror any time a child dies but particularly when it's entirely preventable like these cases," Miller said. "I'll be working with my colleagues to make sure that we do everything in our power to prevent this from happening to other children."
