Spent 45 minutes trying to open a jar of generic peanut butter

It was the store brand stuff, super thick, and the lid was sealed shut like it was guarding a national secret. I tried hot water, a rubber glove, even banging it on the counter, and my partner finally got it by stabbing the lid with a butter knife to break the vacuum. What's your weirdest kitchen struggle that wasted way too much time?

Ever try opening a bag of chips with greasy fingers?

Oh man, that's the worst. It reminds me of trying to open those plastic clamshell packages after you've put lotion on your hands. You just slide right off, zero grip. I had to use my teeth once and felt like a raccoon. Ended up getting scissors, which should just be the first move.
