don't like these always-attached bottle caps. when i pour, the cap slides down and the liquid starts to pour into the cap instead of where i am aiming; when i drink, the cap gets me in the chin or in the nose. and as a final fuck you, it takes a lot longer to find the right position to screw it back on than one that you had in your hand in the correct orientation while you were drinking or pouring
but look around you, no stray bottle caps in the gutters, in the park, in the water! only in your face! (never mind it wasn't a problem to begin with. remember those parks littered with bottle caps? yeah, me neither.)
the ones I've used always lock in place if you open them fully to the side. They usually have a locking "lip" thingy, so I never had those issues you mention. But maybe bottles here are different?
interesting! the ones i have encountered sometimes lock into the open position, but not the orientation of the ring. most of them actually tear off on one side the first time they're opened, so the locking doesn't work.
they are mostly like this, and hold very well both from the cap to the lip but also around the bottle (it does not rotate freely when locked). And these are the cheapest ones from a supermarket white label brand, not some fancy ones 😅

in reply to Abílio Costa • •the ones i was fighting with when I wrote the post were these:
with this type, most commonly, one or both of the connections will break the first time you tilt the cap into its "open" position.
and even if they don't break, they'll be flimsy enough and deformed enough that the ring slides around
