If you were a dado then we would have figured out you have a humorous side but since rabbets only have 2 sides, farmerman should be forgiven.

@dlowan,
NO written instructions?

Put thingie A in slot B. Screw until you hear a squeak. Repeat with others.

Baba Evda doesn't like it when you put Dado Nick in the sideboard. He's little , but still, respect your elders.

@dlowan,
I off and on can't open ******* containers.

Mostly I can.
Sometimes I can't and hit my tool drawer. Just recently I used a complex of screwdriver, hammer, sharp knife.

One of these days I will ask the clerk to open the thing for me, which will of course bring aggravation to others, including the manager.

@ossobucotemp,
Dollar store rubber gloves have been my life saver a few times - thin enough to feel things - grippy enough to force things open.

@ehBeth,
Gotcha. I'm a longtime rubber glove person, snapped on to the fridge.

Sometimes things get worse.

Also, sometime long ago and far away, Dlowan posted about smacking the damned thing on the counter, upside down. That does work, once in a while.
