Life's full of inconveniences, both major and minor, so it helps to think outside the box! I mean, we only know that we have a thousand uses for duct tape because some people dreamed big.
Today we're looking at some people who've found solutions that walk the line between genius and ridiculous. However their projects turned out, at least they made us laugh!
And as long as the food isn't getting anywhere near that boot and nothing catches on fire, I don't see a problem with this.
Shout out to that balance, though.
And anybody who wants to try their luck will probably be at a loss because all of the handcuff tricks are about getting them off yourself, not a bike.
After all, they're a lot more likely to notice a big, gaping hole in the wall than they are a little crack.
I'd love to know how that hole happened, though.
Aw man, you'd almost have to force yourself to get this fixed after looking at such an adorable monster every day.
That tune would change if you saw a mouse crawl out of it, though.
I really hope that dog isn't the type to tug the leash on a walk, because that isn't going to hold.
Well, this won't really save you from the airline misplacing your bag. But it does mean no one will accidentally take yours at baggage claim.
Personally, I've always just used my height as an excuse to not talk to my neighbors face-to-face. If you need something, that's what email and messaging is for.
Some may argue that watching your bread through FaceTime would be a drag or a waste of time. Those people probably don't understand the true love you have for garlic bread.
I don't know how effective these Lego shoes would actually be at picking up the stray pieces, but they're definitely funny.
Okay, this is freaking genius and now I really wish I could train my dogs to get me the toilet paper rolls on request, because I live alone.
I regret that pun more and more each passing moment.
I suppose this would work for that one-off time when you realize too late to swap for a nicer pair, but really... just buy new socks.
Pretty clever, but I'm not sure what the blue scribbles mean. Partially cloudy? Storms? Or did they just accidentally draw suns on every day and this was a frantic correction?
I wish I was still this flexible. I'd totally put my coffee in a sippy cup so that I could drink it while holding a book in one hand and petting my dog with the other.
I'm sorry to tell you that that isn't your cat. It's actually the monster that's been living in your closet this whole time.
10/10 would use this hack in the office. I just hope they took the hoodie home and washed it right away.
As long as your mom isn't expected to have any accountability for possible injuries, then this hack works.
I try not to be a stickler about grammar in text messaging. People are in a hurry and autocorrect is often drunk.
But sometimes, proper punctuation really matters.
I cackled out loud at this. Kudos to the student for having the courage to try this.
I'd call these office drones nerds, but I also called the new, shiny black printer in our office Darth Printer for weeks, so I'm one to talk.
Sometimes, you just need to work with what you have on hand or what the store happens to have in stock.
Just make sure you're not seen doing it! Passive-aggression only works if you're stealthy.
For me, they'd probably just turn into wafer mush by the time I get them in the bag.
While I don't condone this as an ongoing tactic, for that quick moment when you need to turn your back for two seconds, it works.
Nothing says "sucker" like someone who has one rotating in their mouth at 10 mph. That's gotta be uncomfortable.
Whether or not you want to flaunt those results is your own problem. I mean, it seems to work for him!
It's not a terrible idea. I just really hope they're both for the kitchen, not the bathroom.
Always remember, the time you don't spend doing dishes can be used for so many other things.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't even notice something was wrong with this if I walked by. Thanks for the idea!
In this case, it's at very little cost. If I'm not mistaken, this is a legitimate form of recycling as well. She better go get this patented ASAP.
Why not use an old cabinet from the abandoned school down the road? Everyone knows that a good smoker goes for hundreds of dollars... Restaurant-quality right there! I would eat this without hesitation.
If you want something done right, sometimes you've got to do it yourself! It's almost like an Ikea meets Chipotle situation here, but definitely less frustrating and more chill.
Heaven forbid it stains your stock photo bed sheets!
I can't imagine this worked. If it did, I should recreate it and make some extra money this winter.
He managed to create a machine that accommodates clearing snow and every other morning routine he has. He could just set his alarm to an earlier time...
I guess, in the future, a lot of our foods will just be combined into one. That seems efficient.
Okay, yes, an exterior outlet cover only costs a couple of bucks, but if you happen to have a single rubber boot and some elastic bands, this definitely works too.
Yes, this guy attached some PVC piping to his leaf blower and saved himself a ton of work. This isn't low-key genius. This is amazing.
"My late grandfather replaced his stolen hubcaps with some homemade ones- spray painted cereal bowls," explained PomfreyMD.
I mean, the ugly part is undeniable, but if it works, that's fine. But my worry is that it'll fall off in traffic.
Points for creativity, but if you don't have a spare then you're just going to have to get a tow truck.
If you ever date a person and discover this in their home, I would reconsider everything.
That wall looks awfully black-moldy.
If you give me a choice between using a cardboard box as a knife block and risking damage to the blades — or my hands — by keeping them in a drawer, I'll take the box.
I mean, it's a big stick with wheels on it and is probably destined to cause injuries, but the ingenuity is worth praising.
OK, the rest of these have had some element of genius, but there's no way that coffee cup isn't spilling when we hit even a tiny bump...
Is it just me or does the quality of his food not match with the redneck-style of the hack itself?
