A family that Fails together, Stays together

Yes, well this all comes down to a very stupid moment....

Finding myself wanting a glass of orange juice, I reach into the fridge to find I have to open a new carton. No biggy right? Wrong. I spent a couple of minutes trying to twist the cap of the carton with all of my strength whilst both my mother and brother watched in pure amusement. I couldn't open it. FAIL...yes...
My brother, trying to act tough, snatches the carton away from me and looks at me with pure condescension and smugly makes his attempt. No result. He tryed again and again resulting in a face of pure agony as he struggled with this carton. FAIL. now who's laughing?
My mother who now looked on in pity, took the carton 'you both are weaklings' she said as she took the carton. She made her attempt and guess what? Nothing....does the word 'fail' even need to be repeated? 
Ohh this Tropicana carton waas sent to mock us.
My brother now frustated and angry got a knife out and started hacking at this cap. Frightened yet intrigued by his attempts I looked to see if anything would happen. Nothing. apparently the plastic was not going to surrender to the knife. Turns out the cap which is meant to be precut for an easy open had not been cut.

In the end, we used the knife to slice open the top edge of the carton.

[if you're wondering...my dad was sleeping on the sofa the whole time and only woke up right at the end to mock us.]
