Why does nobody talk about paint can lids that won't budge?

I was touching up some trim and the lid was stuck solid, like it was welded shut. A quick wipe around the rim with a rag before you close it keeps it from sticking so bad.

Actually, that wipe trick fails me half the time. Oil based paints seem to glue themselves shut no matter what. I had one can where the lid was so stuck, my putty knife snapped trying to lever it open. What do you do when rust locks it up tight from humidity? A dry rag wont fix that. Sometimes you just need to break out the big tools.

My buddy had to use a hammer and screwdriver to open his.
