Sometimes, you just have to make it work, regardless of the circumstance. If failure isn’t an option, then you best believe that you’ll think of something before the clock ticks midnight.
You could say that I’m naïve, or that I’ve never known struggle, but honestly, that’s just not the case. I think that the people who’ve encountered the most garbage situations are usually the same people who know how to turn crap into bling.
If you don’t believe me, check these silver-lining warriors out.
1. It never hurts to ask.

If you’re going to order delivery, you may as well order everything you need. If they say no and think you’re a total creep, then who cares?
2. Irons aren’t really necessary, especially if you’re creative and a little innovative.

This guy probably has a job interview or something. I’m assuming he’ll buy an iron with his first paycheck.
3. Way to streamline the process, Grandma.

Now no one will waste the infinite amount of time you’ve allotted to play bridge and sip your tea by the window. Consider your porch undisturbed, until you guilt your grandchildren into visiting you.
4. This guy must be the most popular guy at the unidentified outdoor festival.

And honestly, I’m not even mad about it. Frankly, he deserves such a positive status. If you’re jealous, then step up and be the wine guy.
5. Well, this is…creative?

In all seriousness, I honestly love this. It also makes me hungry, and thus much more likely to buy food again before I leave. It’s a vicious cycle, people.
6. This cross cultural piece of artwork is why I am proud to live in such a diverse nation.

Not only is it hilarious, it’s also the perfect amount of ridiculousness.
7. If you are forced to commute through gridlocked traffic just to obtain a moderately sufficient paycheck, then this lifehack is for you.

Plus, bubble wrap isn’t hard to get your hands on, but a good dentist is.
8. Technically, he’s in the clear. Realistically, he’s absolutely insane.

I guess if you can lift two kegs, then there’s pretty much no one who can physically stop you from consuming that much alcohol.
9. I bet this alarm clock is a lot more maintenance than the one I got at Target.

Plus, you can’t choose the notification sounds on this one, and it’s definitely way less reliable.
10. Even though that’s clearly one too many spoons, at least he listened.

Give the kid a break. He’s definitely trying, and that’s what we reward today’s generation for anyway.
11. We all know that students can’t be trusted. But did you also know that teachers also can’t be trusted?

Weird, right? I bet you thought teachers were the exception to the rule, but it turns out some of them are garbage just like the rest of us.
12. Don’t listen to whatever this person tells you. Just because there’s a recipe online doesn’t make it edible.

The internet is a lawless place, which is why you can’t believe everything you read online.
13. Good selfie lighting is hard to come by, but great selfie lighting is ridiculous.

We all want to look pretty in pictures, but please try to be aware of what’s really going on behind the camera.
14. This is one way to hide your valuables.

Although I haven’t tested this theory out myself, I can say that it would probably work in a home full of environmentally unconscious individuals.
15. I’ve actually never even thought of doing this before, but next time I’m in a pinch, I’ll by pulling this trick right out of my back pocket.

Ponytails are a blessing that we should never take for granted.
16. From here on out, you’ll never stress about straining your pasta ever again.

A tennis racket, snowshoe, or mesh ball cap will do. If you don’t believe me, check this chef out.
