    I bought a case of canned tuna. When I opened it, I found that all 24 cans needed to be opened with a can opener.

    Why is life so hard???

      @Catseye3 i bought a "Amazon Basics" electric can opener about 2 years ago.

      It's a piece of shiite. Jams down with at least half the cans I try to open.

      Gonna go with a hand-operated one that I've had since about 1990. It always works.

      And a case of tuna? Whatcha gonna do with it, reassemble the fish?

                    I am really sorry for your predicament.

                    You may be eligible for compensation, though. You brought the canned tuna in your car, right? My advice is to sue your car insurance.

                      Bought some mandarin oranges (didn't they use to be called tangerines?) but they are so darn full of seeds.

                        Accidentally opened the pour-it-all-out-now option on my black pepper jar before sprinkling it on my scrambled eggs. Needless to say, I didn't get a sprinkle.

                          @Catseye3 LOL

                          And sometimes it is hard to start the peel of an orange without gouging the juicy part inside.

                            Ordering a water bottle from Amazon. Found one I like but it comes in all these colors. Teal, Purple, Pink, Blue, Gray, Fucsia and Atoll Blue.

                            How can I decide???
