this reminds me of this morning, my mom couldn't open a jar of antipasto. so in the end, she ended up stabbing a hole in the lid and pouring it out, harharhar. and i usually can't open simple things like bottled water or pop cans because i don't want to ruin my nails. i always have to get someone to open it for me :(.

My teef is strong as hell though.
Insurmountable
I beat it against a counter thinking the force is going to help O_o

then if it doesn't I go give it to my dad to open it XD

Ahh, I hate that. I always complain about how it won't open after trying to open it for like five minutes, and then the second I complain about it to someone, I continue to turn it and it slides open. I'm just like stubborn.gif are you serious?!

I couldnt get this bag of macaroni open, so I stabbed it with a knife, that seemed to work. happy.gif

At lunch, Gardettos are the hardest thing to open. I'm careful now, because one of my friends pulled really hard and the chips went flying everywhere.

I get a damp washcloth and try to open it again with it. The cloth creates a better grip?

^But doesn't it slip easier, if its damp/wet?

Yes, I haate that. Usually, if its hurting my hand, I'll get a towel or something.

just use a rubberband..
LOWinSKANK
i don'tt always have a rubberband handy. ;[[ haha.
doiink
then use a thick cloth; anything that reduces the amount of friction between your hand and the jar lid

It never does for me blink.gif Our kitchen cloths are like terry, so the little threads don't slip. They're actually more slippery when they're dry.

I always use a rubber band. I just rap it around the container top and twist it off! YAY some PP&J for me! But at times, my method fails and I just leave the container there..all alone, unopened. sad.gif

Oh okay, I know what you're talking about.

We used to have this easy-grip rubber.. thing. idk what happened to it though.

Haha, I know what you mean. I usually end up getting someone else to do it if I can't. tongue.gif

Oui!!!!!! I tried opening a sardine can but the opening thingy got broken instead. I poked and poked but nothing happened. Anyway, my sister opened it for me. pinch.gif

I used to hate it when we got that cans with the little tab on them (so you don't have to use a can opener) and the tab would break off. Or if that happens to a soda can. I get frustrated and tell someone else to do it.

I have the worst trouble trying to get open bottled water pinch.gif
Then it really starts to hurt my hands.. so I try use a cloth for better grip but it only makes it worse.. I usually can get someone else to do it, though _smile.gif

Me too and then my teeth starts to hurt. I usually stick the jar or whatever under my shirt and try to open it again. I also get a butter knife and bang on the edges of the lid <--- that always work. Comes right off.
