Inspired by my intense desire to throw a jar of *&^% spaghetti sauce across the room

Finally, some swearing, hot water, and rubber band around the lid worked.

(and yeah... this question does sound kinda dirty... or maybe I'm just really tired :) )

In order of what I try
1. Thump the bottom with heel of hand
2. Try to grab with tea towel
3. Tap edge of lid with knife
4. Try to open while wearing a rubber glove
5. If all of that fails, throw tantrum and/or eat something else.

Pretty much this.

Same here. The knife trick usually does it though.

I just keep trying until the lid comes off.

I usually turn the jar upside down and bang the bottom a few times.
