run hot water over the lid

Then abruptly bang a few different points on the edge of the lid against some hard surface. Now twist. Voila

a Rubber band to open jars

You don't have to death-grip the lid as tightly when there's actual grip. Just wrap one around the lid (thicker ones work better than the one in the picture), and voila! We always have some on a hook for random things like this.

These little foamy mesh mats

you can pick em up at the dollar store and they’re made specifically for this task. it’s all about friction, not just strength! these little puppies will help you friction-max and pop that lid right off. if it’s still tough, give a hard tap with the dull side of a knife, leaving a dent every 45 degrees or so around the edge (of a metal lid), and it’ll loosen up.

if your phone breaks do not get a new one for a while

my phone broke and I was broke. so I had to go though 2 months of no phone. I have never been so peaceful. I now know the route to get to places (because I had no maps). Got the habit of only replying to texts at 6:30pm and make plans for the next day at that time. I read so many books and was so notinfluenced by social media. Even the things I was eating changed a lot, no more fast meals you can make in less then 5 min, instead I asked my grandma what to cook and guys it’s awesome. BREAK YOUR PHONE

How to elegantly get yourself out of this?

Getting to the checkout and realizing that the price on the shelf was wrong and you actually don't think the real price is worth it, but the cashier is looking at you.
