To show that this is a more common occurrence than you may think, please enjoy these 14+ not-so-ingenious fixer-uppers.

Now That’s What I Call A Bidet!
I’m sure that using this toilet would not be an experience that you would forget in a hurry. It looks…powerful, to say the least.

This strikes me as one of those things that goes up as a “temporary measure” but ends up being up for years.

It is a little rustic, but I can’t help but like this aesthetic. I wonder if they had to attach it with adhesive, or if it was iron on?
“I’m sure it does something interesting.”
It more than likely does absolutely nothing. But…I feel like I need to be completely sure, better buy it just in case!
“They ran out [of] tiles when renovating and created this monstrosity.”
The fact that it is just a smackerel lower than the rest of the floor will also surely lead to someone tripping over it! Well, I know that I would, but that’s because I’m terrifyingly accident-prone.
I Just Don’t Understand Why?
“This apartment comes with a parking space just outside!”
“Can I do what I want with that space?”
“I mean, so long as there is a car in there, then, I guess so?”
“Sweet…”
“Lost your basketball hoop backboard? Just use the back of your TV!”
What an ingeniously expensive alternative! Also, I wonder if that TV is still working? If so, just turn it around and play a video of a conventional backboard to complete the illusion.
The Stuff Of Nightmares Can Be Yours For Just Under $70!
That seems like a pretty high price to instill fear in all of the children in your neighborhood.

This is a simple modification, sure, but you know that every kid who saw this would kill for a go on this thing.
“That’s one way to make a camper!”
This is for the individual who wants the camper van experience to be even more rustic than it needs to be! If I’m honest, I don’t totally hate this, and I think that says more about me than I care to admit.
“Can you pass the salt before it falls into the trough again please.”
“Oh, rats! I dropped my knife, could you be a doll and fish it out of the trough for me, please, dear?”
“Of course! Would you like any soggy garlic bread while I’m in there?”
“The Redneck Rain Spout!”
Having spent a lot of time at festivals over the years, I have seen a lot of people do much worse things with Wellies in the past.
“I collected enough baby bell wax to make candles!”
What a delightful, and potentially poisonous, life hack! I knew a kid in primary school who used to eat the wax, I hope he’s okay.
“Frisbee remote: No more lost remotes, and easy to pass to someone across the room!”
Sure, this seems genius at first, but you know that, before long, people would start trying to throw trick shots and end up smashing the TV.
