Problem: cant get the lid off the goddamn jar, and I REALLY want to finish these dilly beans. Tried using a piece of rubber to get a better grip, and smacking around the top to loosen it up. Got any other sharp ideas? Difficulty: stuff you have at the office

Edit: thanks all, hot water was the trick! Now I am going to house the rest of these delicious pickled treats

If you aren't worried about the lid, why not use a good ol' fashioned can opener?

This. One of those rubber bandy ones. If it works on my Volvo, it'll work on a mason jar.

Not sure what dilly beans are, but if they're sugary/sticky, run the lid under hot water to melt the sugars on the threads of the lid. Then use a towel for grip.

Use some tissue from the toilet? Use that to increase friction when grabbing the lid.

Maybe try that trick anyway? The metal may expand juuuuust enough to move.

take a butter knife or something like that and dent the lid around the edge every 3/4 of a inch then try to open it.

Yes, the hot water does the trick.

This is why sometimes when you pass a jar around a group the 3rd or 4th person will get it because everyone is getting their warm hands on the jar.
