Why????
 

Why do they always put the lids on things so tight that you cant open them?
I've just had to open a new jar of coffee and i couldnt get the lid open!
I kept on trying to unscrew it but no wouldnt flipping move!
In the end i gave up and stabbed at it with a knife and tried again still wouldnt move. So stabbed the knife in a bit further moved it around and near enough cut myself and tried to undo it again. That time it though i managed to open it. But why tighten the lids so tight that you cant undo them. At least there is a bit on the top otherwise the coffee would have been everywhere by the time i'd undone it. But its not just coffee its everything and no im not a weakling - i can normally undo stuff but it seems that it is getting harder to undo them.

I have a jar/bottle opener I bought from Kleen-eze years ago. I'd be lost without it.

They still sell them.

One of the things that annoys me most is buying a tin of corned beef and forgetting to check if it has one of those key things stuck to the side. The times I´ve done it!!

A bit of a clue for jam and pickle jars is to bang the lid with a spoon, really hard, works every time.

Re: Why????
 

or just bang the lid on a work surface

Re: Why????
 

or just smash the bloody jar in temper!!! hmm yes I have done that before!!:o
