Garage Door follow up DANGER !!! DANGER !!!
 
Recently we had a thread about garage door safety lights. Some of them
have them disabled because they can be a PITA. Let me tell you what I
did this morning.

I started the dishwasher after breakfast. I took out the dish
detergent from under the counter. It is the liquid stuff in a plastic
bottle with a safety cap that has to be squeezed to open. To make it
easier to open, I cut the plastic tabs off of the bottom of the cap.

Filled the detergent cups and put that bottle back under the sink
where it resides with other chemicals.

I use a utility knife to cut the tab out of the lid of those pill bottles
which make you line up the 2 triangles. Once that's gone you can open it in
any position.

In many cases I transfer new supplies of pills to the old container from
which the tab as been removed. I've got one container that I've been
reusing for over 5 years.

Now that you've disabled the safety mecanism on that
bottle of dishwasher detergent, what will happen if you
put it under the garage door with the disabled sensors and
close it?

The splitter/guard for my 10 year old table saw is sitting on the shelf
in my shop, still wrapped in the original plastic. A proper number of
fingers, thumbs, toes, etc. are all still attached to me.

Sometimes you can ask for tops that are not child proof. Also the ones we
seem to get are reversiable. If you turn the top upside down there is a set
of threads that screw into the bottle.It even gives you a larger area to
grip.

Yup.

"A priest was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners who he knew
as being an unkempt housekeeper. When he sat down at the table, he
noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his
life. "Were these dishes ever washed?" he asked his hostess, running
his fingers over the grit and grime. She replied, "They're as clean
as soap and water could get them". He felt a bit apprehensive but
blessed the food anyway and started eating. It was really delicious
and he said so, despite the dirty dishes.

When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside and barked
"Here Soap! Here Water!"

I mentioned I did something similar with one of those new, cursed EPA
compliant gas cans. Child safety screw cap was similarly defeated.
I have to also confess I did the same thing today with a bottle of mouth
wash.

LIttle non-Bayer aspirin bottles come like that. So far it hasn't
bothered me

For presciption drugs, I do that, get non-safety caps. Seems to me,
it will just speed up evolution if we get rid of kids who are so
stupid they take pills that haven't been prescribed for them.

But I took a vacation last month and the caps came off two out of
three plastic bottles and there were pills all over the suitcase.
Maybe I'll use safety caps next time.

These were snap on. No way to make them tight. Even for snap-on,
they seem loose.
