Oh one thing this nerve-wacky experience taught me, the old stereotype about women needing a man to open the pickle jar? It’s not that they can’t generate enough force at the wrist or elbow, it’s that they don’t have enough hand strength to grip the lid so that force just translates to their fingers slipping over the lid.

Practically, try running it under hot water (which expands metal more than glass) or tink every 30 degrees or so all around the edge of the lid with a utensil to loosen it
