Clever tricks to make life easier...

[Bubbs]

Anyone have any to make life's little tasks easier?

If you smash a glass on the floor wipe it up with a piece of bread. The doughy bread picks up the tiny shards.

..... I will post more if I can think of any.

If you have a shit flush the bog afterwards then wipe your arse followed by flushing again, that way no more blockages.

No cork screw? bang a screw in the cork and whip it out with a hammer or plyers.

Best one I know is flip your toaster on it's side and bang cheese on the bread... cheese on toast mother fucker!

I invented that method about 12 years ago, copyright infringement!

Everything I do is already easy.

when changing spark plugs, once they're unscrewed, plug the lead back on to it to pull it out. sounds simple but i remember spending a fucking age trying to get them out with a reaching tool.

Wet rubber gloves lift (most) animal hair off furniture/fabrics/car insides. Put the gloves on, dip your hands into a bucket of water, drag them across the afflicted item, dip them back in the water. Repeat till it's cleared.

Glow in the dark condoms are good for keepie-uppies in the dark. Wrap one round the ball and use car headlights to charge it up every whip and flip. Good for camping

An apple in a bag of spuds stops them sprouting for loads longer (i've no idea why)

Eye-liner pencil sharpens better if you put it in the fridge for a while first (Don't moan, you all want that tip and you know it!)



That cheese on toast thing is genius!



EDIT: So's the shoe-lace thing! Himself's getting to non-velcro-shoe age now, that one will save a lot of grey hairs, thank you Mr B!

the crisp bag idea = pure genius!

[yen_powell]

If you see a car ahead waiting to pull out of a side road and it has a dent in one of the doors, slow down and let him out.

If you're in a queue of people and need to fart, do it just before the queue starts to move, so the bloke behind gets the blame.

If you get chewing gum on something, stick the item in the freezer for an hour before trying to get it off.

I’ve never had much issue with talking to call centres, of any nationality. I find if you ask questions like a machine they have to respond with the one and only response. If they don’t appear to get the message, repeat again in the same tone. Not exactly a life trick but the amount of people who complain about service, usually fail by waffling too much.
Remember, they are not people, talk like a machine, you can even put on an Austrian accent.

A spoon/scoop dipped in warm water is better for extracting ice cream. No mess, no loss of shape.

Stand toast together in a triangle preventing the slices from sweating.

Crushed crisp sandwiches taste better than sandwiches that are not crushed.

Put expensive items like steaks through self service tills as apples and save yourself a shit ton of money.

It’s so obvious but I still see people queuing for it. TAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING FOOD TO THE CINEMA!

To get served at a busy bar.
Look over the length of the bar first, pick a good spot, stand behind someone getting served and get ready to get in the space, if someone dawdles on exit it’s ok to ask to squeeze in there. One trick I like is being over courteous here, make a wall with your back as you graciously let them out, blocking other punters and taking the space that’s rightfully yours.
Don’t stand at the bar and lean over it, don’t hold money out in your hand and don’t look like you’re annoyed by waiting or make comments.
Make eye contact and make sure it’s friendly. If someone next to you was there before and should be next, let the bartender know with eye contact or actually pointing them out. As soon as you are in the ‘remembered for being courteous’ slot, you will be next. Use cash, don’t be a twat.

If you use car parks locally to you quite often, save all of your tickets. I put mine in my ashtray (I don’t smoke in the car) The biggest, easiest thing to spot on a ticket is the time, you can re-use the tickets you buy if using the right time frame.
If you really want to be cheeky, save a parking ticket packet and park on double yellows anywhere you like. Slap the ticket on the windscreen and a warden will see you already have one (This is not highly recommended)

Save money on batteries by taking other peoples batteries.

Buy job lot samples of expensive fragrances on Ebay. Never run out of expensive smells for months for a fraction of the price.

Any bad odours, like the smell of cigarettes, just keep an open bowl of white vinegar in the room. Works wonders in permenantly getting rid of the smell

To make a zip do up smoothly rub a bar of soap over the teeth

Make your sandwiches with frozen slices of bread. This way when it comes to dinner you have nice, cold, fresh sandwiches. Plus freezing the bread loaf means it lasts a lot longer
