A stuck zipper on my kid's costume ate up my whole Saturday and taught me to slow down
I spent nearly 3 hours with a pair of needle nose pliers and a bar of soap trying to free a zipper pull I'd yanked too hard on a Halloween cape, and by the end I caught myself thinking about how my mom would've had it loose in 10 minutes flat with just a bent paperclip - so what's your go-to fix when a zipper jams and the teeth are already wrecked?
