All you need to open a stuck jar lid is the handle of a knife and a few well-aimed blows.

Never met a jar I couldn’t open with this trick.

Or get a special grip cloth that works just as well. They’re out there. My mom got me one.

Just yesterday, I tried to open a container of juice (it was POM wonderful) and couldn’t do it. I tried until I got blisters. I ended up spending about an hour slowly puncturing a hole in the top with thumbtacks, then widening it with scissors. Then after all that, the juice was slightly disappointing.

What is the point of making juice containers which are impossible to open with human hands?

I was once stung by a cicada-killer wasp… Had the same effect, but only on the one hand.

Rex, I agree. Believe me, there are times when I get my cluster headaches and my wife runs me to the ER, I’m very glad to hear to hear:

‘OK, just a little pinprick, there’ll be no more “AHH-AHH-AHHH”, but you may feel a little sick.’

Once I am comfortably numb, life is good.

@Micah: I think that’s more a perspective thing.
