ALWAYS ! It's never the normal "Thank you John" or whoever. Yes, it's trivial but after hearing it ten times a day for ever, it's really beginning to dry-ride my last nerve !

Every bloody time Used to have the same problem but changed technique! Rather than bending once (however gently) to snap, which results in 'spring back' and spray, I now gently move the lid back and forward when it's close to that breaking point until it just separates and breaks away peacefully.
