It is important to be good with your hands… is something that my parents always instilled in me. However, we live in an age where it is possible to call a person for pretty much any service you need!
Despite this fact, there are still people out there who like to take matters into their own hands… even if they’re not exactly equipped to deal with the situation. Whether it be fixing broken clocks in the strangest way possible, or coloring in broken furniture with a sharpie that doesn’t exactly match, here are 15+ times that people right what was wrong.
“The minute hand broke off of my clock the other day so I fixed it.”
I quite like the idea of doing this to all of the clocks in my house actually. It would certainly add an element of excitement to making plans. Will I be there at 1 on the dot? 1:15? 1:45? Who knows?!
