curtain rods- I always have a hell of a time putting these up. I do alot of cursing when I put these up.

blinds- Like the curtain rods, I have to fight with these too to put them up on a window. Lots of swearing last year when I moved into my new apartment putting up blinds.

christmas lights & christmas garland- Every year I like to put up a tree but I hate doing this part because I always have a hard time putting these 2 items on the tree.

packaged meat- Not the meat itself, but the package. They seal these so tight sometimes you can't get them open.

dollar general can openers- Dont even get me started on these. When I was still living at home, we had one of these and I got so upset with it once I had to sit for 5 minutes and calm down before I got too upset. Eventually I just got a new (better quality) one. The Dollar General can opener hit the garbage can real fast and real hard.

There are times I get frustrated opening up a jar of jelly. They put the caps on so tight.

^ Agreed - jar lids and bottle tops. Usually I have to ask my dad or brother to open them for me. :lol:

Saran Wrap. Drives me up a wall, trying to keep it flat. Foil can be a pain too, if it goes off the roll wrong. I hate handling batteries too, putting them in, usually wrong.

Sometimes it helps to give the cap a few taps on its edge, like with the back end of a butter knife.

But the best thing I've found is using a flat piece of rubber, laid on top of the cap for a better grip. Sometimes you can find those for that purpose, with advertising printed on them.

Janice, thanks for mentioning saran wrap. Saran wrap drives me up the wall. Most of the time if I have to use it, i get so frustrated with it I end up crumpling it up and tossing it across the room.

My vacuum bottle if I put coffee in it and then put the inner cap back on it. My face always turns red trying to unscrew it because of the literal vacuum seal that I created by putting hot liquid in it. :lol:

Those cans of Spam with the dreaded little key. I mainly use it for party appetizers at Christmas & New Years.
