Ok, absolutely freaking riddle me this. We got some of these SMT resistors for a project a few months ago.

Now I went back to the reel of them and started trying to use some, and they all appear to be open circuit! At first I thought it was just maybe that my test leads weren't making good contact but I just soldered a couple across stripboard and they're still open.
WTF happened??!!
update: it was not the resistors. the resistors are fine.
the issue was that everything is cursed. CURSED. POWERFULLY CURSED. TWO DIFFERENT METERS I WAS USING HAD JACKED UP OHMS RANGES
Both of them would read 0 ohms just fine on any range but when I actually put 10K ohms on there on the 10K, 100K, 1M, or 10M ranges, they read open. The fault came to light when I pulled out my Owon scope meter and checked on there.
that's it I'm quitting electronics and becoming a paranormal investigator
