Things 99% of Us Keep Using Wrong

Are you always looking for

things

that can make your life a little easier? So hey, you are in the right place. Remove splinters with the help of glue? No problem! Light candles with spaghetti? Made! How about

using

dental floss to slice cheese? Check! (Wow, I feel a little like a cross between MacGyver and Tim the Tool Man Taylor!) Now you may find it hard to accept that such simple, low-budget tricks can work! Well, if you don't believe me, then “hide in the bushes” and check this out… 1. When you go on a trip, take a pair of clothespins with you.

You can use them to prevent your toothbrush from touching the dirty bathroom counter. 2. Elastic bands wrapped around the ends of the hangers will prevent clothes from slipping. 3. Place a muffin tin in a laundry basket and you have a great tray to hold numerous drinks for a big party. They won't leak, even if you're driving. 4. To make iced coffee at home, pour some coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze it. Then add these cubes to your cold brew coffee and instead of diluting your drink, the coffee cubes will enhance its flavor. 5. To make sour cream and cottage cheese last twice as long, turn the containers upside down when storing them in the refrigerator.

In this way a vacuum is formed inside that prevents bacteria from spreading. 6. If you lost the plastic protective cap of your shaver, you can replace it with a large clip. It would usually fit perfectly and save you from potential injuries. 7. If you run the bacon under cold water before cooking, you will reduce the chances of it shrinking in half. 8. If you don't have a steamer or iron on hand, hang your wrinkled clothes in the bathroom and take a hot shower. The windows and door must be closed and steam must not be able to escape through the space under the door.

The shower will work in the same way as a steamer and you will also save time when multitasking. 9. To cool your drink quickly, wrap it in a damp kitchen towel and place it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. 10. To separate the whites from the yolks during cooking, you can buy a special egg separator. Or you can use a regular plastic bottle! Crack an egg onto a plate, squeeze the bottle and place its opening over the yolk. After releasing it, the yolk will be absorbed into the bottle. 11. You can relieve the unbearable itch of a mosquito bite by applying a small amount of clear nail polish. 12.

You won't cry as much while chopping onions if you put a piece of gum in your mouth. This way, you will have to breathe through your mouth and this will stop most of the tears. 13. Cornstarch will help you untangle even the most difficult knots. Sprinkle the tangled cords with a pinch of cornstarch and separate the knot. 14. If a candle has burned too low and you can no longer reach the wick, light some raw spaghetti and use it to light hard-to-reach candles. It also works if you need to light many candles at once. Happy Birthday! 15. A knife is often ineffective if you need to cut some soft food, for example, cheese or cake.

You can use unscented dental floss instead. Just make sure you take out a piece that is long enough to sink into the piece you are cutting. You will get soft and uniform slices. 16. If you tend to fall asleep right after your phone's alarm goes off in the morning, place your device in a cup before getting ready for bed. The alarm will reverberate inside the mug and sound louder. Additionally, you will have to open your eyes to turn off the annoying noise. 17. Beeswax is a great way to make your shoes waterproof. Simply coat the outside of your shoes with wax and use a hair dryer to set it.

Instead of beeswax, you can use a crayon or a candle the same color as your shoes. 18. Go get a nut as soon as you see a scratch on your wooden furniture. Remove the nut from its shell, break it in half, and rub it diagonally over the scratch. The oils contained in the nuts will fill the damaged place. Brazil nuts and pecans will work equally well. 19. If you suddenly see a new pimple appear on your skin and you have no other products on hand, use toothpaste! Rub a little on the pimple and it will most likely disappear (or become much smaller) by morning. 20.

Deter spiders and mice by spraying door frames and the garage with peppermint oil mixed with water. 21. Statistically, hair ties are lost more often than anything else in this world. Actually, I just made that up, but you can't argue that there is never a headband when you need one. The solution is simple:

keep

your stock on a keychain! 22. Lip balm can not only protect your lips, but also heal small, but incredibly uncomfortable, paper cuts. Apply some lip balm to the damaged area and it will relieve pain and discomfort by preventing air from hitting the nerves. 23. Are you getting a new kitten and are you worried about your older cat's feelings?

Before introducing them, bathe the kitten and groom it with the other cat's brush. The older cat will sniff its own scent on the kitten and approach the little one. 24. Rub the teeth of a stuck zipper with a graphite pencil and it will work again. 25. If you don't want your pencil to fall apart while you sharpen it, leave it in the freezer for several minutes before you begin. 26. Before making a photocopy of an important signed document, attach a paper clip to it. This way you will always be able to distinguish the copy from the original. 27. If you glue a magnet to the end of your hammer, you can use it as a nail holder.

This way, you won't end up stepping on stray, sharp metal objects. 28. To make a perfect toasted sandwich, place two slices of bread in a slot of the toaster. The slices will toast and brown on the outside and remain soft and tender on the inside. 29. Removing sticky notes from the bottom causes them to curl up in strategically important places where the sticky is. Try starting on the left and pulling the note to the right. This way, you'll get a flat note that will easily stick to your monitor, refrigerator, wall, and more. 30. Cut up a tennis ball and fill it with dog treats.

It will

keep

your dog entertained for hours. 31. Place a magnet behind the light switch next to the front door and you'll store your keys there. This way you won't have to look for them every morning. 32. When your favorite perfume is almost gone, add the last few drops to your body lotion. 33. Ordinary school glue will help you remove a splinter. Simply pour a drop of glue on the damaged area and let it dry. Then, when you remove the glue, the splinter will most likely come out too. 34. To get someone to agree when you ask them for something, nod their head slightly while you speak.

Psychologists call it mirroring and you are more likely to get a positive response if you use this technique. 35. While you reheat the rice, wrap it in a damp paper towel. This will soften even the toughest rice. 36. Hang a tennis ball from a rope tied to the ceiling of your garage, positioning it so that it contacts the windshield in front of your face. It will prevent you from accidentally hitting the front wall with the bumper. 37. All you need to make a fort at home is a large sheet and a fan to blow it up. Even if you don't have kids, it's fun to have a fort like this. 38.

If there is a blackout and you don't have a flashlight or candle, you can use a can of Crisco grease. Place a candle wick (or just a piece of string) in the middle of the filled can and light it. It is rumored that a handmade candle can last up to 45 days! 39. To save some space in your drawers, store your clothes vertically. It will also be easier to see what you have there. 40. Divide your leftover soup into individual portions and freeze them. This way, you will always have a good lunch if you don't have time to cook.

And finally, if you need to go out in the rain, but don't have a raincoat, follow this tip from Terminator. Simply lower yourself into a big tub of rubber cement and not only will you have a nice new coating, but it will stay very dry. No, actually I just made that up. Do not do that.
