Default Opening tight jar lids.

Not only child proof lids but sealed bubble packs. The worst one I
encountered recently was a card of Duracell button batteries with a
child safe packing. Tear the plastic holding the battery from the card
and find that the plastic bubble is completely sealed. A pair of small
scissors or a craft/Stanley type knife is required to go further but the
lip that has to be cut is very narrow (and round).
