Out of fairness, I couldn’t open a can of paint either, until I could.

I couldn’t start a lawnmower, until I could.

I couldn’t change a car’s oil and filter, until I could.

Hell, I think it took me two tries to boil water.

I never opened a can of paint until I became a homeowner. And then I thought, "They could probably design something better."

Fair point.

I recall the first time I used Duct tape and didn’t know that I could easily tear it.

Then, years later someone showed me how to “Cut” Filament/Strapping tape without using scissors or a knife. It’s pretty impressive.
