Ever have trouble opening lids

Yes I've had my share of trouble with this. I picked up a little tool that almost looks like an old fashion bottle opener. It's designed especially for jars and bottles to help break the seal of the lid. I use that, pop and then I can open it without a problem. It cost me a whole $3 I think at the time and trust me it was worth it. It pays for itself with saving me a lot of frustration.

Jars and bottles both. Especially if my hands are wet or oily. Sometimes I tap the bottom of the bottle. I'mnot sure what it does but it seems to help.

I here you there, my hubby is the offical bottle, jar opener in my house. But if he is not readily available then I just wrap my largest wooden handle knife with my dishcloth and I gently tap in the direction it is suposed to open and tap all around sometimes several times it breaks the seal or soemtimes loosens it enough for me to open it.
