How to Remove A Filter That's Stuck on Your Lens

For the longest time, I had a filter on my kit lens which I couldn't remove. I didn't know if I had put it on incorrectly, or if it was too tight, but whatever the case, it wasn't coming off. So, I Googled it. And guess what? As usual, Google had an answer for me :P.
To remove a stuck filter, you put a thick rubber band around the filter and gently twist, using your fingertips. If you grasp the filter too hard, then when you release it to get a better grip it will make it tighten even more. Also, you might crack it.
(Here are some pictures for a visual.) 


So, big rubber band...

Over the filter...

Gently screw off with fingertips. It really works. =)
