Can Openers

In this day in age I have found it unnecessary to own a can opener, my mother owned one, both my flat mates had owned one, thus there was no need for me to own one, until tonight.
Sure, I could have bought one months and months ago, back in august, when i first moved into my unit, but i have since done somewhat of a mini-protest against buying an item i will seldom use. Instead I have been buying only cans that have ring-pulls and do not require the assistance of such an opening device that barley gets used.

This was working quite fine for me, most items these days DO come with a ring pull top on the can, so why bother buying a can opener when i wont need it! RIGHT?

I open my mac and cheese deluxe box tonight. And to my dismay, there is a can.... WITHOUT A RING PULL TOP!

Oh for crisis! What on earth would any normal person do. Sigh in defeat and vow to go out an buy one tomorrow and put the tin away.
Yes, maybe they would... but me? No.

What would i do in this instance? I find the sharpest knife i can find and i stab it hard at the top of the tin. 'Hmmm, wont open. What else can I try?'
I take the knife again and poke it round the edges of the tin... my brain says to do this, then i start to wonder why im doing it, like i can open the tin with a knife in the fashion of a can opener.... not happening.
By now any normal person would have called it a day and given up. Not me.

I get really angry... I want my mac and cheese deluxe dammit! I grab a more solid knife, one that i shouldnt be poking at a tin with, and begin to stab hard at the top of the tin, over and over and over, just dents, i stab more, yay the knifes entered the tin.... now what? i stab a few more times till i make another sliver in the tin, then i run the knife until the tin, in the sliver and push the tin up, some of it moves up and away... HORRAY! i did it, i concored the tin with no ring.... now how do i get the cheese out in that small hole... ohhhh another deliema for another day. *sigh*
