Spent 20 minutes at Target trying to open a pill bottle with two different arrow directions on the cap

I picked the clockwise arrow option and ended up stripping the plastic threads before realizing the other arrow was the unlock direction, has anyone else run into this dual-arrow madness on medicine bottles?

Honestly I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about pill bottle lids but this dual arrow thing is actually infuriating. It's like they WANT you to strip the threads by making both directions look like valid choices. Now I just look for bottles with the simple push down and twist caps, no more guessing games for me.

Yeah those dual arrows feel like a trap on purpose honestly.
