15+ Things That People Just Had To Do Themselves

These plaques were mounted on benches by some weirdo and promptly removed by the city. Still, I appreciate the fake history that they allude to.

Practically every vehicle has cup holders these days. But if you need to make one in a pinch, all you need is a cinder block, along with the strength required to lift it.

This is a low-effort but very scary pumpkin. There are some phone calls that just chill me to the bone and anything to do with my car fits that description.

VR glasses can be a wondrous, confusing, mindblowing, terrifying experience. These googly eyes really help sell the experience of operating in a virtual world.

TV wall mounts cost money. These college students figured they could do the same thing with zip ties and a prayer. I'll bet this TV fell down long ago.

Trimming a pet's nails is pretty much always a nightmare. This seems to be a pretty good way to do it, assuming your doggo is small enough.

This barbecue is mounted in a window unit, proving once and for all that there's no shortage of ways that people will find to set fire to their homes.

I'll bet a lot of people look at this building and get freaked out because it doesn't look like a safe situation for those people. Then they realize it's all an illusion.
