The waves of pickling juice are crashing down and swallowing me

Jun 24, 2009 10:37

I am feeling a little overwhelmed lately. Well pretty much most of this year has sucked. So I decided to delay the inevitable and take a break to post.

I am sure lots of uninteresting things have happened in the past few months. But I am lazy. So instead we will focus on the present. And the present revolves around pickles.

I bought this jar of pickles last week. I also bought bread and sandwich stuff. I was so excited about having a sandwich and a pickle. But I got home, made my sandwich and the stupid pickle jar wouldn't open. I tried for a while, but eventually gave in to my frustration and ate my sandwich pickle free. This same scenario has repeated itself at lunch or dinner every day for the last four days. I have tried EVERYTHING. Those little jar holder things, hot water, cold water, banging the lid. My hand is actually bruised from the whole process. Well maybe not everything, last night I was tempted to just break the jar to rescue the pickles, but it seemed like a bad idea to eat food with glass shards in it. Last night after much trying and annoyance and pain, I have decided it is time to throw in the towel and I may never eat pickles again.

SO my real point and question: Is it bad to donate a possible evil/unopenable bottle?
I don't want to just throw it away because its a brand new UNOPENED bottle and its you know still good. But what if the person that gets it goes through the same thing I did, then I am just spreading the roller coaster of pickle emotions that ends in sadness, disappointment and a less satisfying sandwich. I don't know if I should really spread this pain onto others. Or should I hope that maybe this jar of pickles is just not meant for me but it can bring others joy?
