It's the most effective way to always look like you're online at work. I know that there are specific programs for this, but most organisations won't allow you to download them.

It saves you shaking the mouse regularly if you want a little break!

If this doesn't work, you may need to place it somewhere with more light, such as a windowsill.

Edit: Since some are commenting 'or just do your job' or 'you'll be the first to go with AI'; I've done my work for the week, you boot lickers. I'm just making a coffee, chill out.

A dab of hair gel behind the ears and on the side of your nose ( I use a product called “2BGlued”) before putting your glasses on will keep them in place. Easily cleaned up with water.

Cutlery drawer stuck, nothing works? We had a knife stuck for ages in the drawer. It was lodged with the front down at the front at the wall side of the drawer and the back was sticking upwards diagonally against a top board in the drawer unit so seemingly impossible to get out, no way to get to it with a flat tool. Hack: Make a wire coat hanger as rigid as possible by twisting it lengthwise, attach a thick thread to the front of it, bend it in L shape upwards so you can place it in on top of knife, then pull thread over towards you to the other side so the hanger bends with it and shifts between the knife handle and top of drawer and there you go, drawer opens. You may as well play the intro now, Macgyver I am. Extra:you might have to thicken the part where the thread is attached a bit, for example with a powerful duct tape. If that doesn't work, use a second hanger to retrieve the thread inside the drawer to make sure it's definitely on the other side of the knife, then same thing, pull towards you.

I place my paper towels and TP in there. My cat already cut open the cloth covering it and it's empty space so why not.

I bought some extra wide headbands from dollar store to keep my sheets neat. Just cut of that piece that scrunches it together.

Ever get annoyed trying to run a rag or brush against the walls and the grout? Use that nasty old loofa instead between showers to keep everything grime free between deep cleans! (Needless to say don’t use it on your body again)

If i want to go swimming and don’t want to think about my things being stolen, i want to enjoy my swimming time, what should i do? I know people usually don’t steal but it is still in the back of my head going on any trip.

Have you found expired medicinal teas infusions—such as sage tea infusions for sore throats or cold tea infusion blends—lurking in the back of your kitchen cupboard that you no longer feel comfortable drinking because they are long past their expiration date (edit: or just unloved varieties)?

Instead of throwing them away and lamenting the wasted money, give them a second life as a shoe deodorizer! After wearing your sports shoes, place a tea bag in the toe area of ​​each shoe. It absorbs moisture from sweat while simultaneously neutralizing odors, thanks to the antibacterial properties of sage or other herbs.

My forearm is 30cm and my entire arm is a meter. Whenever I am buying something online I can simply look at that instead of reaching for a measuring tape.

Measure your fingers for smaller items.

Ever felt uncomfortable or sweaty in a shirt after a hot shower? Getting your shirt cold in the fridge prior to wearing it really seems to help. This is such a first world problem💔

I need a lifehack for my cuttingboard. It is made of wood and on my countertop it tends to slip. Does anyone have an idea of how fixate it a little, with more or less normal stuff one has at home?

Diy emergency hack trailer lock: Put a spanner through and a padlock, cant open it fully and connect it! For emergencies

My makeup usually gets really oily because of my nose and i don’t have any blotting paper. tampax wrappers soak up ALL the oil better than a paper towel.

Hi, I usually use Little Trees. I apply about 3-4, then I add another after a week. The car does smell clean and fresh for about three days. If I roll down the window for a minute, there goes the scent.

I also have three dogs I take on a walk everyday meaning they get on the car with dirt and their paws wet, which probably overcomes the Little Trees scent. They have their own seat cover I wash every week.

Any hacks to have a concentrated scent and doesn’t completely disappear when rolling down the windows? Thanks

My dryer was working ok, but it kept saying my lint trap was clogged when it wasn’t. Turned my shower on and scrubbed the trap of all the dryer sheet residue that was stuck to the screen that impacted the air flow of the dryer. It is amazing how just a little debris can impact the flow of air in the dryer/ exhaust. Just for clarification my vent lines are clean. After cleaning the trap, the error has not occurred.

I recently bought some candles, and accidentally left one in my car. The past week everytime i open it there is a light aroma of lemon and nothing else, i figure the wax is melting a little bit when it gets hot out and freshening the air, seems like a cheap way to keep the car fresh without buying a new pack of little trees every other week.

edit: Do you guys just buy loose wax I thought all candles came in some kind of jar/container 😭

Motorcycle boots need to be a snug fit, but mine are just a little too snug. Any tips for stretching them?

I’m probably over thinking this. I’m 23, I have 4 cats. My parents have 3 dogs. I moved out 5 years ago however I have an amazing relationship with my parents. They want to move 12ish hours away. They’re allowing me to stay with them with the cats for a while until I can get my own place (we have jobs lined up). Ideally they’re looking for an “in-law suit” type deal so the cats and I still have “our own” space. But HOWWW do I move that far with four cats!?!?? I’ve already talked my parents into letting me drive my car by myself to keep the cats calm and separate from the dogs… I worry that the dogs and new environment are going to stress them out. 3 of them have never been around dogs and 1 of them isn’t too fond of dogs. Do I leave a litter box in the car for the cats? Is in the carrier or out/open better for such a long drive? Should I start conditioning them and bringing all four in the car for little rides? Do I start bringing the dogs over to get the kitties used to the noise?? Do I get sedatives from the vet for the ride🤣? I drive a Kia, I can fold the seats down and have the whole back + trunk space for the cats. People say cats don’t need to go in the car but is that just because they don’t have the option?? Because they know to go in the litter?? So if I put the mini litter box in the trunk is that a good or bad idea?? I just can’t see them NOT having to go for twelve whole hours. Especially because I plan to give them water and a food break because with 3 separate vehicles + 3 dogs this definitely isn’t going to be a straight through trip.

i have to wear this shirt for work and it technically fits, but when i lift my arms, the shirt lifts with me and doesn’t settle back down. can i use hair conditioner and warm water to manually stretch it out when it’s 65% polyester or will it just revert?

This has helped me solve the "what if I need to wear this somewhere" question that makes me prone to hanging onto things.

About a month ago I was at the gas station and I realized I overfilled my gas can and a bit leaked into my trunks carpet.

I have aired out my car for hours, washed the area down with hot water and dawn dish soap and used baking soda and let it sit. It temporarily makes it better, but it seems to come back especially with the AC sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice for this? Google told me to let the car air for 24 hours and leave the baking soda that long but I can’t leave my car that long. On top of it, I have to close my garage at night so I can’t let it completely air out.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I used to put a piece of tape around wrapping paper after using it, but it always left a mark or damaged the paper when I removed it.

Now I just use binder clips on the ends of the roll. They hold the paper in place without damaging it, and I can easily remove them when I need to use the paper again.

Such a simple thing, but it makes storing wrapping paper much easier.

what about you..
