There are many moments throughout a person’s life when the only option can be to handle a situation yourself! However, the outcomes vary massively in terms of both quality and efficiency.
So, without further ado, please enjoy these 15+ times that people took certain matters into their own hands!
“It can only be a whale…”
Look, I’m fairly certain that it wouldn’t be anything daft like a pipe or a door! It’s got to be the ghost of a wronged whale, surely?
“How to do laundry while living in a vehicle. Available programs; off-road, highway, and city.”
The drying options include tying your wet laundry to the top of your vehicle and razzing along the motorway on a sunny day.
“A local music store in my town has had this sign up for a few days. The shoe store across the street finally replied.”
Bridge Kaldro must have been incredibly worried that they were going to be left hanging at first. I mean, it would have been unbearably embarrassing if Super Shoes hadn’t responded!
“I didn’t have black shoes, and I needed black shoes…”
I hope that they didn’t need the black shoes for a job interview, as I wouldn’t fancy their chances if they rocked up in these. Although, it does demonstrate a shred of ingenuity.
The Proof Is In The Pudding…
And the pudding in this instance was a big old slab of wood! Horses sure do eat like kings!
“Upper management came to supervise the vehicle repair.”
“For the last time Fluffles, I don’t need to be micro-managed!”
“Meow…”
“Oh, that’s what you always say!”
That Seems Safe Enough!
I am not sure what looks more dangerous, the way they are transporting this thing or the act of actually driving that death trap go cart!
“Saw someone famous. I don’t know who he is, but he’s got a lot of fans.”
“Look, Dave, when I said that a lot of people are making money from OnlyFans at the moment, this isn’t what I meant!”
“Well, you could have told me before I bought the sodding fans!”
Finally, A Warning People Might Heed…
“Here, Steve, hold this sandpaper a second, time to put this to the test.”
“Why are you taking your pants off Dave? Christ, have you been wearing those pork chop panties all day?”
“Of course, you never know when an opportunity like this might arise.”
Moving 101!
If only they had a truck which they could put the washing machine into instead of doing this! If only!!!
“Lost property notice in my friend’s university this morning.”
It is about time that Sauron started doing some work with his own hands. Although, being just a giant floating fiery eye might make that a bit hard.
“How long do you suppose this replacement door handle will last?”
Something tells me that this will last a lot longer than it was meant to, and therefore be there until the next tenants move in.
“A truck I saw while in traffic.”
It’s not trucks that I have a problem with, it’s people in BMWs who think they can cut people off whenever they damn well feel like.
“A man bolted his grill onto an old lawnmower so it’s easier to move around.”
But, don’t BBQs normally have wheels on anyway? This also seems like it would be awfully low down for standing at all day!
Custom Paint Job!
I wonder how much it cost to get such a unique look? Duct Tape is just so in right now!
“Last ditch attempt to dry my jeans ASAP.”
Looks like you’ll be needing to dry those with the hairdryer! Everyone has been there at least once!
“‘Upcycled’ knife block…”
I know that there are some people out there who really hate reading, but stabbing books is taking your aggression a little too far!
“He’s preparing his trip to Mars without NASA’s help.
Ah yes, but at least he is squinting and looking away so he doesn’t hurt his eyes! That’s the important thing!
“Mom has had enough of my little brother.”
I feel like I would just buy a new toothbrush anyway as a secret spare if I were this guy’s little brother!
“This sign at my local car wash has aged poorly.”
Wow, I would take that down if I were them, that has aged as well as spilt milk down the back of a radiator!
“I mean the kid isn’t wrong.”
I like that the teacher has written “Really?” but hasn’t actually marked the answer wrong!
“They fixed the bridge… So no more worries…”
Zip ties and cling film, what else do you really need when fixing a structure like a bridge?!
“Moving day. Looks like drunk me left a note for future self. I’ve been sober 4.5 years. Man that guy was a jerk.”
Looks like he had two opportunities to paint this and couldn’t be arsed either time. I wonder if he painted it before he left?
“Need new insoles? Have extra carpet? Voila!”
Are slippers really that expensive that you can’t just buy a new pair of slippers instead of going to these lengths?!
“Now hiring guitar players…sort of.”
Cooking and serving a meal with only a guitar at your disposal is much more difficult than you may think!
“After waiting at the airport in London for 8 hours, this guy decides to take matters into his own hands.”
One person did post an ingenious life hack in the comments though, writing, “All he has to do is go to Settings -> Airplane Mode and set it to on. Throw the [iPad] in the air and voila!”
“Way to go mom!”
I love how the little kid in the helmet just has absolutely no idea what is going on right above their head!
“A $2k Bra Holder.”
It’s good to see that they are getting their money’s worth out of this expensive piece of equipment!

Don’t Be An Asshat!
I can imagine this sign being the very thing which causes a lot of nightmare customers to get angry. It’s like a self-sustaining economy.
“Local ice-cream shop sharing the TRUTH!”
One person pointed out that “They work pro bone-o,” and I wish to God that I had thought of that first.
