Spent 20 minutes fighting a jar lid with a butter knife before my neighbor asked why I don't just use the handle end
She tapped the rim twice with the flat side and it popped right open, and I just stood there in her kitchen feeling like I'd wasted 15 years of my life doing it the hard way, so what everyday trick did someone show you that made you feel silly?

My grandfather watched me struggle with a stuck pickle jar for about 10 minutes back in 2019, then took it and ran the lid under hot water for 30 seconds. That was it. The metal expanded just enough and it twisted off with almost no effort. I had been banging jars on the counter and running them under cold water for years, thinking I was doing it right. Now I keep a mug of hot water next to the sink whenever I open anything new. It is such a small thing but it works every single time.
