put a rubber band around the lid. then twist it. or stick a knife between the crack of the lid and the top and move the knife around on the underside of the lid...thats all i got

Grab a large spoon and pry at the top a bit...the seal will break and off it will come.

run it under hot water

Flip the jar over and hit the bottom a couple of times, hopfully that works for you :)

tap the lid run it under warm water sqeeze it then twist

use a rubbery circle thing... always works for me

slip a screw driver under the cap and let some air in it will open easier...

Be carefull you dont hurt yourself

Try this at your own risk

give me ur address i sware ill open it and im not a mean guy muhahahah

turn it upside down and hit the bottom really hard with the palm of your hand. like 2-3 times then you should hear it pop.

Got a glove you wash dishes with? Put it on and then the jar will open!

Hit the sides of the lid with the back of a knife. That may loosen it.

hit the jar lid with a heavy butter knife all around the lid then try to open it.

well, if you poke a hole in the top of the lid, it releases the pressure and you can open it... not sure if you want a hole in the lid though.

Let it dry and then hit it with a knife on the lid in 3 places then try if you can't do that then ask your boyfriend

take a butter knife and hit the top of the jar with the bottom of the knife around the edges.....

Hammer around the edges of the lid with the handle of a metal butter knife. Or, flip it upside down and give the bottom a good whack with the palm of your hand a few times.

r u serious? lol!!! i would try taking a spoon and putting it under the lid as much as possible and push it in torward the jar. once the seal has "popped" then you should be able to undo the lid. Good Luck!

take it in both hands and strike the corner of the lid in four different places on the side of a table (spin it each time)

it puts a tiny dent in that releases the pressure ring

or bang the back of a large knife on an angle on the lid in 4 or so spots, nice n hardddd

Ask someone strong to open it for you. For next time, buy one of those large rubber pieces to help you get a good grip on the jar lid.

Try hitting it with a dull knife, like a butter knife. It might break the seal an open more easily...

save yourself the aggrevation, buy a new jar...lol

if you have something sort of rubbery & flat laying around like a silicone pot holder you can use it to try & grip the lid tighter. hope you get it open!

This works for me sometimes. Take the handle side of a butter knife and tap the lid in the direction to turn it to open it. Do this for like 30 seconds. Be careful to not hit the glass. Then try it if it still doesn't open repeat process or find someone else to try it.

First off you need to buy a can opener. not the metal one for the tomato sauce but it has lever where its tight and then u turn and the lids simply opens! We have one, i'm sorry i don't know how to describe it. If you have a guy ask him, I ask my dad when i can't open something! :)

well dry it off with a towel then beat the cap on the counter and use the towel to pop it open and it should come loose

Poke a small hole in the lid and you will be able to open it easily. Then put a piece of tape over the hole.

An ice pick is best, but you can also use a (cheap) steak knife or a bic pen.

We use to have the same problem when I was working in a restaurant so we saved one lid without a hole.

Do you know anyone that works on their own car ?Ask to borrow their oil filter wrench works every time I have one hanging on my kitchen tool rack

This product might help you.

try using a screwdriver and twist under the tabs of the lid
even the screw on lids will expand a tiny amount to help ease it off

turn on the stove and put it in the flames just the top a lil bit !
