I have had this problem. Was at work with a dry atty and desperate someone offered me a cig, I ended up biting the cap, pushing down as hard as I could and got it open. I had been closing it to tight I believe. The gears in the child lock were slipping so to speak. You may want to look into non safety locks if you don't have kids around.

I've had that issue, and (even worse) a cap that takes the dripper tip off the bottle when you take the cap off. And, you don't notice until you've poured half the bottle out by accident.

This happens with child-proof caps if you use them a lot (like a little 5 ml bottle that you carry with you to drip from). They get worn out from so much use.

Solution is easy. Just don't re-use child-proof caps. Use the non-childproof caps for carrying small bottles on the go. Leave the childproof bottles at home. Works for me.
