Let me guess: When you want to be forgiven, you tighten all the jar lids in the house so she has to talk to you?

Pro tip: There are tools specifically made for opening jars so even if they do that, just get one of these tools and you'll never have to ask someone else to open a jar for you again. There are also ones that work with different sized Jars and even twist off bottle caps as well.
Here are some pictures of them by the way (in case anyone is in doubt of their existence):
A standard traditional one (this is what I have)
This one is marketed as "arthritis friendly"
This one is an alternative one similar to the first but with a different method of selecting size.
Yeah but if i ever get a trans masc bf i can make him happy by asking him to help me open those jars
I'd still recommend having one just in case, even if you or your boyfriend are strong enough to open them without the tool there's always that one jar occasionally that just won't budge. For those a jar opener comes in real handy.
Yeah but a trans masc dude, he would have said a she shed ideally down by the sea shore.
this is huge for me
If these aren't affordable or accessible near you, a good substitute is nonslip shelf liner (example)
Just cut off a square big enough to comfortably drape over the lid plus the sides and it will make it much easier to open them. It requires slightly more physical ability than the jar opening tools since you need to be able to grip rather than just squeeze, but if you don't have significant hand mobility issues it should work fine.
These are basically a diy version of the jar openers I had as a kid, discs of rubbery textured material with various bank logos on them (my mom had a long career in banking at various small startup banks in the area). My experience with them is basically the same as yours, if you're having trouble opening the jar because your hands are adequately moisturized (hand lotion is great) this is a good suggestion. And slippery hands is probably why that jar is tricky unless you have hand mobility issues.
The top one which is what I have is 8.99 (at the time of writing) from walmart but I've also seen similar ones on Amazon, they're not expensive or hard to get. That is a good tip though if you don't have one.
Thanks, but I’ll take the euphoria from being unable to open it.
I mean you can still do that, still good to have one of these on hand in case you don't have anyone around to ask, or if they can't either.
My ex-spouse actually did the "tighten all the lids in the house"–thing when he was angry with me.
I had very little issue opening them. He did, though, which is when he was forced to confess what he did.
