I'd say "crack the metal rim on the edge of the counter" but if your motor control is like mine today, shards of glass mixed with chunks of yummy tomato laced with the sweet drug of cilantro would be the likely result. The old mom trick of run the lid under very hot water actually works though. Metal expands faster than glass. Loosens it up for you. "pop" easy. in any case, I feel your pain. I usually go from sadness to anger pretty quickly so I try hard to avoid sadness. Today, I spent the evening listening to "Songs in Major key" - maybe this'll help.
