One of the most important traits that a person can have is resourcefulness. The ability to fix a toaster with a fish, or to mend a car with the soul of a rabbit is an important thing!
So, with that in mind, here are 15+ people who did the best with what they had! They certainly tried…if nothing else.
“Good sauce…”
If only there was a name for this sauce that has tomatoes all across the package!
“I Feel Safe.”
Googly eyes aren’t just for making inanimate objects suddenly seem hilarious, they can also double as a Richter scale!
“Goodwill is a gold mine.”
“We need to make this CD pop a little more.”
“Star Wars.”
“What…what about it.”
“Just Star Wars.”
“I wanna hear this theme song…”
“Who are you going to telephone?!”
“The men who bust the ghosts!”
“If only there were a name for this rolling piece of wood!”
I can only imagine that the person who is head of marketing for this company is the same person as the guy who came up with “red mustard.”
“South Korean football club uses sex dolls to fill empty stadium.”
So…did the club just have those dolls lying around? Or were they looking for an excuse to buy them and took this one?
“This is a grave situation handled with humor.”
This person clearly has an impressive sense of humor! Although all I can hear when I look at this is the theme song to One Foot In The Grave sung by Eric Idle.
“This is an ‘Attractions’ signboard on the highway that runs through my home town. It is, sadly, accurate.”
This could only be more depressing if it said, “Attractions coming soon…hopefully!”
“At least they’re honest.”
I’ve heard that, since they’re copycats, they’re a lot better for you than actual M&Ms. I don’t know where I heard that, but I choose to believe it.
“And it goes straaaight in the lake!”
They aren’t even trying to hide it so I don’t really get what the point of the urinal even is? Just have people urinate straight into the lake if you’re going to do this.

“Big oof.”
There is a lot going on with those shoes. Also, what’s with all of the weight measurements on them? Am I missing something here?
“Corner of my thumb got cut off by a grinder. So had to make the best of a bad situation. I give you Julius Thumb, leader of the hand empire!”
All hail, Julius Thumb. He came, he got sawn in half, he conquered.
“Classic Board Games.”
I used to love playing “Do not torment me.” However, I always ended up being very much tormented. Much as I am by every board game.
“If I’ve learned anything in my first 2 months at work, it’s this.”
I used to love staff meetings at Costa. There was a lot of, “What can we do to make the customer’s experience better?” And then very little actual change was done as a result of them.
“This cryptic cod.”
I don’t care how terrible this joke is, I absolutely love it. You know that the guy who came up with that is still pleased with himself to this day!
“Saw this at my local hardware store today.”
“SplongeMob, what are you doing?”
“Please… Kill me Schmatrick… Let the sweet release of death take me from this low-res hell.”
“The milk situation at work is starting to get a little serious.”
One person suggested that they keep their milk in a cleaned-out pickle jar as no one would want to steal it then. Although, the very idea of pickle milk makes me feel like I’m going to vomit.
“This hotel has clear instructions for an emergency situation.”
Now this is a fire escape plan that I can get on board with. None of this “leave the building calmly and patiently” nonsense!
“Making the best out of a bad situation.”
I’m sure that the local homeowners’ association was thrilled with this person’s ingenious answer to their tree falling over!
“A restaurant worker drew this on my to go box.”
When you work in the service industry, it can be hard to find ways to let your inner creativity show! However, this worker has clearly nailed it!
“Standing Arachnid Man: A Long Way From The Abode!”
I don’t think they’re going to get around Marvel’s lawyers just because they used a thesaurus!
“Wow, one whole star!”
I wonder what it was that they were awarded that much sought-after star for?
“Why would you clean well when you can just…”
I actually read it more like the little mascot is your annoying roommate saying, “Just clean, okay?!”
“Found this beauty at my local college.”
“The railing is in the way, what should I do?”
“Build through it.”
“But, can I not just…”
“I said… Build through it!”
“Shower pole fell while I was at work. Tobey tried to ‘fix’ it with a box of French Toast Crunch. It didn’t work.”
I think that Tobey may be on to something here! Have we tried sorting out the world’s current problems with French Toast Crunch? It might just work… It’s got to be worth a shot!
“My boyfriend’s sister tried to fix some broken decorations.”
I think that you mean she successfully fixed some broken decorations! That turkey looks cool as hell now. Just look at the state of those sunglasses!
“A sticky situation.”
Is there anything more annoying than when you buy something with one of these stickers on it and it has clearly been attached with super glue?
“Cheapest way to fix the dent on your car.”
This is also the nerdiest way to fix your car, you big nerd! (He says, fully aware that he has played far too much D&D in his time to be throwing the word “nerd” around like that!)
“My favorite soda!”
I get it’s an off-brand but there’s not even any enthusiasm about this. No flair, no excitement. I’m certainly not feeling wowed.
“This fire hydrant where I live is both buried in cement and in the middle of the side walk.”
When you can’t go around, go through, I guess? Does this count as around or through?
“Just try to avoid getting fired.”
In a time where so many job postings are filled with unnecessary fluff to hide the fact that the work actually sucks, I can appreciate this honesty.
“The pipette from this bottle of beard oil melts in contact with beard oil.”
Aww, he just gets a little nervous under pressure. Give him a second and he’ll bounce right back. Also, today I learned about the word “pipette” and I’ve never felt so giddy.
Not quite the summer I had planned.
When you need a cheery reminder that your summer is up in flames! There’s something to be said for being positive!
“I found this in the store. There’s only 3 cities.”
Hey, they had to spell “city life” somehow. Did you expect them to do actual research instead of just naming what they could off the top of their head?
“In the event of a fire, find the camouflaged door.”
I understand at a bar/club, where I’m assuming this is, aesthetics are important! But I don’t know if they’re important enough to potentially cost lives. Maybe that’s a controversial opinion.
“Tesla is breaking into the alcohol market.”
I’d like to try this actually. If Elon Musk personally put his company on this, which I’m sure he did with his explicit and direct permission, it’s gotta be good.
“Trying to even out my tan on my lunch break.”
This looks like two entirely different people who got stitched together. This also looks like a surefire way to not even out your tan. Put a shirt on!
“What does that even mean?”
I don’t know what a “yum” is, but I don’t think I want my food to come off of one.
“My 7 year old tried pulling a fast one at school today.”
The homework struggle is real, who can blame them? Not to mention they’re technically right, not giving them full marks is unfair!
“How I found my kitten trying to steal her big sister’s food from the top of the fridge.”
You must be feeding her sister some top-notch stuff if she’s trying to get to it that bad. Can’t you spare her just a little? For her effort?
“Who thought that silver text on yellow packaging was a good idea?”
This looks like the most generic of generic brands. It’s serum! What kind? Oh…you know…just serum.
“Oh dear, dad tried to print a video…”
This just reeks of “undercover wizard who forgot you can’t put videos on paper in the normal human world.” I’d start asking some questions.
“Tried to take a picture of the beautiful landscape, got this instead.”
I’d take some ridiculously goofy picture of my dog over a landscape I’ll forget about in two hours any day.
Risking it all.
Sure, when you buy a knockoff you’re taking a chance at it being bad or whatever else. But this one has an actual danger factor to it.
“Finally found out what the little pouch is for if you wear a kilt.”
Uh, obviously. What were you keeping in your kilt pouch that I’m certain you all own and wear all the time?
“I don’t think our fertilizer ‘spreader’ did a very good of spreading’.”
I mean, it did spread more than it would’ve if you had just poured it right on the grass. Plus, now you know it works, so you can just go over all the spots you missed! It’s like a coloring book.
Can’t decide between Sprite or 7UP? How about…
I can’t overstate how much just seeing “Cup” caused me to crack up. My sense of humor is decaying. Cup.
It could be the safest workplace on earth, but no one can completely fight off these monsters.
Thank you, Pete, your death will not be in vain. We will strengthen our velociraptor security and ensure no one has to suffer this fate again.
“Found this browsing my local Craigslist.”
If you only like caramel corn, that’s fine, I’m more curious as to why he has 20 tins of these at the ready. Why would he buy them if he only wanted one third? And surely he didn’t get 20 as gifts, right?
“My dad and I found an invisible bench!”
No way. I’ve heard those things are so comfy! A few got installed at the park near my place but I haven’t checked ’em out yet.
“Looking through old photos and found this from 2012. Taken in either Switzerland or Italy.”
I’m confused about what’s being sold here at all. Someone in the comments said Bachmann is a bakery but, even, then I can’t figure out what this is.
“Just a normal clothing store.”
A store owner thought this was a good look? Please, just keep the mannequins on their feet. I’m sure they and everyone else on planet earth would prefer that.
“Local police park unmanned cars in attempt to slow drivers down. Someone has taken advantage of the situation…”
How many overly-excited idiots do you think went rushing to the police station to enquire about the cop car for sale?
“I finally found good use for my meal prep containers.”
Oh, is this all that meal prep is? That’s way easier than it’s made out to be. Maybe I will give it a shot after all.
“Hot Dognald’s.”
I am most certainly not lovin’ it. Dear lord, I doubt that anyone on earth is lovin’ it.
