I'm a ways off from hrt, but I've had some pretty funny experiences with jars such as:

Spending 2 minutes trying to rip the lid off, start swearing at jar when mom walks in asking what the ruckus was. I say "this jar hates me" and she just *pops* it off... and I'm like "well, I loosened it for you."   

I think it is more about grip (friction) and leverage... Not so much about brute strength. The whole men are better at opening jars thing is I think because males have larger hands on average (better grip better torque)

If that is true even post hrt our hands won't shrink much so it should be about the same as before.

I'm still laughing about the idea of a tube of pickles!!   

Not going to touch this with a 40 foot pole!

Jenny found your pickle jar Laura! Want one?

If all else fails, explosives might work.

I have been trained
Might have used a tad too much.

Meh....I will send Portia in to deal with that skunk. She's kicked some skunk ass before and she can do it again.

I think it would be a tad difficult to squeeze out a pickle or peppers. Please don't suggest a pickle or pepper paste. That would be vile. I want a REAL pepper and not some awful paste with added ingredients.

Or olives.
Mmmm, I love olives.

I do notice that the Aussie girls have a rather more 'energetic' approach to this problem. I surprised Sydney is not in ruins, or more of a ruin that it currently is

...what?!?

Is that the effect of Jenny changing gears on her bike?

It's simple we have to keep the construction industry employed somehow

Dang.  The toaster is still standing in that picture. =.=

Unfortunately I think that thing is pretty much indestructible

I can see my place. It's still standing.

Apparently, y'all don't care about physical contamination(and possibly chemical considering the explosives...) in your jars of pickles or whatever. Don't ever invite me for dinner!

Anyone who invites me for dinner and serves pickles had better make sure they are home-made.  Not only do we avoid confronting the loss of our man-strength and wits battling a 5c tin lid, but we can also drone on endlessly about our culinary skill etc., etc. etc.

Exactly when you make everything from scratch you can afford to be more "creative and energetic" in opening up those annoying lids

Cindy was only looking at ways of opening the jar.
Nothing was said about the contents

Don't even like pickles myself, yuck...

The Matrix scene where morpheus welcomes Neo to the ruin of the real world... and it's Sydney, cracks me up.

My friend moved into a temp house pre hrt and packed a load of stuff into storage.  By the time she moved she couldn't open a damn thing!

In regards to the persistence of bad design, it stuns me how computers still use screws and fragile cards or motherboards aren't encased.  Surely it should all just snap together.  Don't get me started on the stupidity of the usb socket.  Jars are stupid.

So how come no one from the Girls with guns thread has suggested blasting the jar open?
They seem to be packing.

Seem a logical use of a gun.
