Thatâs actually brilliant haha my suggestion was going to be to remove the drain and then use some putty to put it back on⌠your option is a million times better
They work like that stage 5 clinger, from planet clingon, that you tried to stop talking to but, they just keep clinging on to hopes that one day you'll love them back 100 fold.
You know what, youâre right. I was having an absolutely hellacious day and took it out on someone here instead of being productive or healthy about it.
Iâm sorry. That wasnât cool.
Ima be honest if thatâs all you do when you take your day out on something youâre probably a really good person.. I hope you have a better day tomorrow <3
I appreciate your grace and understanding so much, and you know what? Today was great! And tomorrow Iâll get caught up on laundry which is a very exciting prospect.
Thank you for understanding and gently putting me in my place. I usually leave pretty positive or educational comments and I do not like bringing outside stuff here. So you really did me a favor and it is very much recognized.
It would lower the property value with the kitchen sink clogged like that.
I'd call customer support for the jar company and act incredibly inept at anything they suggest.
Okay, then sticking with the screw idea, you could just drive a wood screw into the top and use that as a handle to pull up on.
(I know the problem is already solved though)
This is what I would do. You could probably even tap a hole in with a nail and then firmly screw a screw into it by hand. Or tap holes into it to drain the water because magnet, vacuum, suction cup and glue are all not going to work in water.
The magnet wouldn't be affected by the water but it would need to be strong enough to overcome the water pressure above it as well as whatever friction pressure the lid has. Your typical fridge magnet probably wouldn't work.
...... magnet, string with super glue, fishing hook, a screw, ducttape, wax on cotton strip. Or some good ol fashion voodoo if voodoo fails remove bottom pipe of disposal and push up with a coat hanger.
Sticky tape, or as you did, stab it with a pointy knife that you do not respect.
A vacuum cleaner should also work (or any tube that you can hold to your mouth and suck...)
Is it screw edges down or up if down use two butter knives on either side to pinch and flip it on its side if screw side is up but your finger on the inside of the rim gently without nudging touch spread fingers out to put pressure on inner rim and lift .
From replies to other comments, it sounds like you have this sorted, but I want to share an alternative I didn't see mentioned.
You could remove the disposal from the bottom of the sink. Then, if the lid is still caught in the drain part, you would be able to push up on it from the bottom.
But I would have tried all these other things first, because they're easier and won't make it worse. Removing the disposal is not ***too*** difficult, but it's usually a smelly job.
The world confuses me. I absolutely would have solved this problem and moved on, never even thinking about taking out my phone for a picture and posting the question to reddit. There's 2 obvious solutions, and they are the top 2 answers. So, really, I have a question for you: Which way did you use to get it out?
You could drill a hole in the middle of the lid large enough to put a toggle bolt through. The toggle bolt will hook onto the other side of the lid and allow you to pull it out with pliers or whatever.
That's more of a last resort if the lid can't be pried out otherwise.
It keeps water from pooling and accumulating, and acts as a nice drip tray or drying rack off the counter.
Use a coffee cup before leaving the house? Give it a scrub with a sponge, rinse it out, put it upside down in the sink. Presto, you can put that clean and dry mug away when you get home.
Have a bunch of nasty dishes soaking in the sink? You can empty one out without the sludge contaminating the other dishes, it just flows underneath them. Makes doing the dishes by hand a lot faster and less messy.
The usual common answers aside like use a magnet, use a suction cup, run hot water on it to j heat the drain up, then put your finger inside the rim and run cold water to shrink the lid down since the sink will retain the heat longer and put upward pulling reassure on it, but I'd take it apart but I know how to do that.
So drill a hole in it and thread a coarse screw into it, grab it with a pair of slip joint pliers and just pull it up and out.
People should search reddit for this twice a day post. There are many of them.
1. Screw the jar back on the lit if the jar fits in the hole.
2. A clothespin if it's not too thick.
3. A fork to wip it out
4. Magnet
5. Vacuumcleaner if you get the water out first
These "how do I get this out" posts are getting really old really fast. If someone actually couldn't figure out one of the 10s of ways to do this and instead needed to post online for help I think they'd be borderline mentally disabled.
Most of these lids have a little lip near the bottom. You can use a fork or spoon to catch the lip and pull the lid up.
I just stabbed it with a steak knife.
That works too
As a general solution for lots of problems. Not THE solution, but A solution. Stab away, Mr Stabbington.
I have a problem with some of my colleagues. Should I try this solution?
Yes.
Does butter knife work too?
If you stab hard enough
Mr Stabbingtonđđ
Got a ex or enemy take his advice always shuts them up if you do it rightâ¨ď¸â¨ď¸â¨ď¸â¨ď¸
stabbing is my go-to for all my problems too! ^(sent from) *^(my penitentiary app)*
I find stabbing only solves half the problems. You need a hammer for the rest.
or pigs like a bunch of hungry bastard ones
Lol, I like your style
Stabbing with knives: the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Thatâs actually brilliant haha my suggestion was going to be to remove the drain and then use some putty to put it back on⌠your option is a million times better
This is what I was going to suggest. :)
Rip steak knife.
I probably wouldâve used a screwdriver to punch a hole in the middle
I mean -
Magnet
How do they work?
 Ask them they know âď¸
They donât if theyâre wet.
Just makes them work in reverse.
Or if you feed them after midnight
In what universe? Dude...
It's a reference to [something Donald Trump said](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-ridiculed-bizarre-magnet-remarks-iowa-rally-1858420)
Omfg. How many more years until we can stop caring?
Probably 4 and a half
Untrue. Your magnets are junk.
They work like that stage 5 clinger, from planet clingon, that you tried to stop talking to but, they just keep clinging on to hopes that one day you'll love them back 100 fold.

Someone quite literally asked⌠just because their answer was silly doesnât mean the question wasnât askedâŚ

I agree with the magnet, but more importantly, how is that salsa?
Easy, just flip your house
Well thatâs thinking outside the house!
It would lower the property value with the kitchen sink clogged like that. I'd call customer support for the jar company and act incredibly inept at anything they suggest.
Gum on stick
Vacuum cleaner
Yes
Can you not just screw it back on and then pull up?
The threads are pointing down.
Suction cup?
Magnet?
Octopus? đ
Most Iâve laughed all week lol tyty
Rent-a-pus at your service! How can we help? Our highly trained octopi can assist you in a variety of tasks.
Okay, then sticking with the screw idea, you could just drive a wood screw into the top and use that as a handle to pull up on. (I know the problem is already solved though)
Thatâs what I thought too, but looks like the thread is underneath in this situation
Real thinker here, this is the best option
props to you that's smart
Bob for apples and then use your lips like a suction cup
Unexpected saltburn
If all else fails just drill a small hole into the middle, screw in a slightly larger screw and pull up, should do it.
This is what I would do. You could probably even tap a hole in with a nail and then firmly screw a screw into it by hand. Or tap holes into it to drain the water because magnet, vacuum, suction cup and glue are all not going to work in water.
Why would a magnet not work underwater?
The magnet wouldn't be affected by the water but it would need to be strong enough to overcome the water pressure above it as well as whatever friction pressure the lid has. Your typical fridge magnet probably wouldn't work.
Particle accelerator
Suction cup
Thatâs the neat part you donât
Dildo.
Mandatory comment for this sub: suction Dildo
Look I donât want to be the guy who keeps suggesting a dildo with a suction-cup base, butâŚ
It was hard to lower my ass that far into the sink, but this solution worked. Thanks.
You know what they say, âlift with your legs; grip with your ass.â
Everyone saying screw the jar back in when it clearly fell in top up.
Poke a hole in the lid
Vacuum cleaner
Use a knife.
Blu tak or gaffer tape. Sponge the water out first
Angry piranha tied to a stick.
Papalote is incredible
Honestly, punch a hole with a nail, angle it, and pull it out.
Yup
...... magnet, string with super glue, fishing hook, a screw, ducttape, wax on cotton strip. Or some good ol fashion voodoo if voodoo fails remove bottom pipe of disposal and push up with a coat hanger.
Tongs (put them in closed and expand until the arms hold the inside of the lid). Or a plunger maybe.
The insinkerator is usually attached to the sink with a bayonet catch. You can take it off and then push the lid out from below.
Magnet or a suction cup Alternatively a bit of glue at the end of a stick or something, let it dry and pull it out
Suction cup or a wet vac
Science bitch - Jesse pinkman.
Sticky tape, or as you did, stab it with a pointy knife that you do not respect. A vacuum cleaner should also work (or any tube that you can hold to your mouth and suck...)
Magnet?
ever heard of the conspiracy about material that attracts several metals but not all - those weirdos call it magnets or something /s(mug)
Vacuum cleaner hose with out attachments
Screw the jar back on to the lid. Pull it out.
Iâd have tried that forst
Your garbage disposal just twists off. Unplug twist off and twist back on.
Superglue a string on it
Is it screw edges down or up if down use two butter knives on either side to pinch and flip it on its side if screw side is up but your finger on the inside of the rim gently without nudging touch spread fingers out to put pressure on inner rim and lift .
Hold the jar upside down and screw the lid back on?
Would a magnet work?
Hot glue, put a small amount on the end of something, I usually use a pencil
I would get the hose of my vacuum and suck it out.
Try to smack a hole into it with a screwdriver
Looks like a camera lens
Rund a screw into it
Drill
Suction cup, magnet, or screwdriver. Or rather some combination of all three.
Magnet
Suctioning cup
Idk if there's still water in there, but you can try using some tape.
That salsa is so freaking good
Toothpick
There's another sub dedicated to these situations. I honestly forgot the name
Idk, I think this sub fit perfectly
Not saying this sub wasn't the perfect fit, just saying there's another one dedicated to the "well now what?" for these perfect fits that got stuck
Oh, gotcha, haha, thank you. Iâll keep that in mind!
No worries! If I remembered it, I would put it here. But I follow so many different cat subs đ
Strong magnet and lift it out
From replies to other comments, it sounds like you have this sorted, but I want to share an alternative I didn't see mentioned. You could remove the disposal from the bottom of the sink. Then, if the lid is still caught in the drain part, you would be able to push up on it from the bottom.

A wet/dry shop vac
Magnet?
I have an old hard drive magnet that's powerful enough to pick up certain wood shavings. So I use that dangerous thing.
I N S I N K E R A T O R
Whatever the fuck you do, unplug that disposal before you do it.
Magnet or suction cup
You turn it on and find out if they really do make the best disposals on the market.
Just flip the disposal on and see what happens, report back with results.
Ever heard of a magnet?
pierce it with something then pull it up
Butter knife. But this looks like it fell top side down, so it should be easy. Nonetheless, butter knife.
Easy - big blob of blue tack
Drill a hole in it
The world confuses me. I absolutely would have solved this problem and moved on, never even thinking about taking out my phone for a picture and posting the question to reddit. There's 2 obvious solutions, and they are the top 2 answers. So, really, I have a question for you: Which way did you use to get it out?
Magnet if its a really poor grade of stainless or if its ferrous.
The most obvious to me would have been a piece of duct tape. But I almost always think duct tape is the answer!
Put a strip of duck tape onto it and then pull.
It's upside down. Do your fingers not work? The lip, while small, is easily able to be grabbed by pretty much anyone with working hands.
Thermonuclear war.
Lemons.
Stab it
Magnet?

Can someone explain what the wire rack in the bottom of a sink is for ??? I can never understand the point of it

I see - as someone who has a habit of doing dishes right away this hasnât crossed my mind. Maybe with kids one day itâll be useful

Plunger
Take a piece of tape. Double it up and let the legs make a T. Stick the tape on the lid.
I was going to say put the jar back in turn it and pick it up that way
Hmm food waste disposer. Hit the button and see what happens
Magnet
Tape
Magnet?
Double sided tape, hot glue and stick, old chewing gum and stick
Papalote! Jelous!
Screw the jar back on & pull it out
1. Screw the jar back on the lit if the jar fits in the hole. 2. A clothespin if it's not too thick. 3. A fork to wip it out 4. Magnet 5. Vacuumcleaner if you get the water out first
Screw a screw into it a lil bit and pull on the screw
That Papalote salsa is the best. Had it first in 2007 and still think about it
I mean, it has a lip right? If itâs stuck get pliers and grab the lip.
Lip is down, inside the drain.
Aw shit. Glue? Stick something to it?
