People love to find creative uses for things in this day and age, truly we are living in the age of the weirdly-specific life hack !
So, from people who found weirdly impressive uses for IKEA bags to individuals who really didn’t know how to use a stethoscope, here are 16+ moments that made us go, “That’s not how you use that!”

“A sushi restaurant didn’t leave a pen, so we used chopsticks and soy sauce.”
They really managed to adapt to the situation they were presented with. Also, it is worrying that they can write neater with soy sauce and chopsticks than I can with a pen.
Rainbow!
In fairness, rainbows do solve a lot of life’s problems so I can see why this kid would resort to this methodology!

You need to get a bigger one and just completely block access to the couch I reckon, cut it off at the source!
“So, Subway is now selling pizzas in Brazil…”
No, they’re not. I know that Subway may be calling those “pizzas,” but they are not pizzas.
“The right way to use peta’s stickers.”
Look at how smug he looks at wearing his fur coat as well, what a jerk! No remorse whatsoever!
The Second One Is Too Dear!
“How many tubs of ice cream do you think it will hold?”
“None! These freezers are for deer and nothing else!”
“But…”
“DEER OR NOTHING!”
“I figured out how to get my cat to sleep in her expensive bed!”
Someone suggested that they slowly cut a bit of the box away each day until the cat is eventually sat in the proper bed.
“A local pizza place has strict distance rules!”
It is almost as though pineapple isn’t meant to go on pizza. Sacrilegious behavior putting pineapple anywhere near a pizza.
“Mom’s Spaghetti…”
Eminem’s mother must make a nice little wedge selling her world-famous spaghetti nowadays!
Mathematical!
I wonder if they worked out this equation using the rainbow method of problem solving which we saw in action earlier?
“We ordered toothbrushes on eBay from China but received eye masks instead. I’m not mad about this error, and will use them wisely.”
This is the perfect use for this mask, and I will not hear any arguments to the contrary. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
“I have been using a CVS receipt as a replacement blind for over 9 months.”
One person who has clearly done this before added, “Tape a toothpick at the bottom so it doesn’t roll!”
Seriously?
I like that they decided to spend money on this metal warning sign instead of trying to figure out a security solution to the thievery problem.
Is That How You Use A Stethoscope?
I don’t know what kind of medical school this doctor went to, but it needs looking into immediately!
“My girlfriend’s grandma thought the iPad was a cutting board.”
I mean, it will work as a cutting board, it’s just a very expensive cutting board. I am also amazed that Apple didn’t find a way to charge them extra for this function.
“A $2k Bra Holder!”
What else are you meant to do with it? Exercise? What kind of nerd actually uses these things for exercise?!
“Need new insoles? Have extra carpet? Voila!”
How expensive are your slippers that you need to be making repairs to them? Just buy a new pair like a good cog in the capitalist machine!
“How to keep your expensive dress clean before an outdoor wedding.”
I am sure that this isn’t what IKEA expect people to use their bags for, but it is pretty ingenious!
“She spent $7 on an ice cream cone for an Instagram picture then threw it away. Sherbet and sprinkles don’t mix.”
Ice cream is for eating and enjoying, not for a quick photo op! Who could be so cruel to an innocent ice cream? Devour it like a normal person!
“Neighbor’s kid decided to decorate my car with a rock to make it look ‘cute.'”
This person did go on to add that, “So, we are going to DIY this situation. I’ve already enlisted all three kids to help with the detailing. They are doing a great job on washing and vacuum detail so far. I had a talk with the offending five year old, gave her a big hug, and we’re good. I also tasked her with spraying down the side of my house with the hose while we were at it.”
