This is what happens when I'm left unsupervised
« Reply #20 on: June 17, 2017, 06:52:08 AM »
Years back, after washing damn near every glass we had in the bar on a busy night, my hands looked like prunes, a guy asked me to grab him a brew!  I reached into the cooler, grabbed the Bud, tried to twist off the cap and sliced through the web of my hand when the cap decided it didn't want to twist...

Bloody mess...

TBH twist off bottle caps do sometimes make a red mark on the web of my hand and hurt just a little but the pain stops almost instantly. Other times it doesn't hurt at all. But if I put my T-shirt over it I get a better grip and it never hurts. I worry about putting a hole in my shirt so I use a bottle opener at home. The wet bottles from the cooler when your hand is wet too are the slippery ones where the shirt really helps.

The easiest way I have found to open a beer without an opener or a twist off is a twofold procedure:

1. "Honey, bring me a beer."

2. "Thanks."

Simple, and it works almost every time.

Why don't I ever go to the good matches?  All I ever get at the ones I go to are guns and ammo  :-\

That should work great for twist off caps but what if you have to pry a cap off? Could you use the edges to do it?

Here is the opener I find useful.

Twist off, pry off and even a slot to assist with pull tabs..useful if you are doing a lot of them

I was wondering about that. It has an odd shape to it and thought it must work as a bottle opener but wasn't sure how.

ETA: Looking at it again I see the hook of the bottle opener. I didn't even notice it before.
