Life Hacks To Try Only If It’s The End Of The World
Life hacks are supposed to be tricks that help you with everyday things that come up. Don't let them put you in reverse or make others laugh at you.
Unfortunately, some folks found out how to "hack" life in terrible yet hilarious ways.
When There Are No More Spoons In The Office
When there are no more spoons in the office, tape a fork like this, and you'll be good to go.
![spoon a plastic fork with taped wrapped around the prongs and a pot of yogurt next to it](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/spoon-99675.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=38&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
No one will judge you. They'll applaud how creative and handy you are when you do it.
Never Pay Again
I don't advise anyone to try this hack, but if you're hungry and low on money, feel free to give it a whirl.
![eat for free receipt where someone has made the tip the negative amount of what they owe and the total as $0](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/eat-for-free-62884.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=30&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Okay, maybe not. I wonder if the person who did this got away with it.
Cut The Balls In Half
Wow, why haven't more people done this?! By cutting the balls in half, you're able to keep more in the tube.
![cut in half one canister of regular tennis balls next to one canister with tennis balls all cut in half](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cut-in-half-26148.jpg?width=605&height=763)
As long as you bring tape or stitching, this is perfect.
Out Of Hangers?
Never worry again when you're out of hangers. Find an old, wired keyboard and put it to work.
![old keyboard old keyboard as hanger, black coat hanging from it](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/old-keyboard-30223.jpg?width=605&height=807)
As you can see here, it's not such a bad idea if you're in a pickle.
Combine Lunch And Bathroom Breaks
Here's someone who doesn't want to waste any time at work. By combining their lunch and bathroom break, anything is possible.
![combine bathroom and lunch break public bathroom stall, a cup of fries and a burger are on the floor, shoes can be seen](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/combine-bathroom-and-lunch-break-74738.jpg?width=800&height=533)
My only hope is that they tried to clean the floor a bit.
"Marinate, Season, And Tenderize Your Steak All At The Same Time!"
That's right; you can tenderize, season, and marinate your steak at the same time with this hack.
![steak steak, sauce, a seasoning sitting on top of a washing machine](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/steak-64534.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=71&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Simply put the sauce in the washing machine and run the steak on a short, no-rinse cycle. Add the herbs to the fabric softener dispenser.
Need Money?
Here's a plan that can't go wrong. Robbing an IHOP for money is as smart as it gets.
![rob ihop Sign: Money tip: 1. Rob an IHOp 2. You're in international territory 3. The cops can't arrest you](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/rob-ihop-44705.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=220&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
Whoever posted this on the window knew what they were talking about.
"Stop Tears In The Kitchen With This Life Hack"
Aren't you tired of the teary eyes when you cut onions? Listen to this guy, and you'll be just fine.
![stop tears in the kitchen man holding a red onion, he has plastic wrap around his head with a nose hole](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/stop-tears-in-the-kitchen-95838.jpg?width=605&height=944)
It can't be that bad, can it? As long as you make sure to cut holes to breathe.
Use A Knife To Hang Things
A knife will always have your back when you don't have any of the conventional hanging materials.
![hang things with knives a knife stabbing the wall holding up a flag](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/hang-things-with-knives-21240.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=201&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
It might be a little annoying at first seeing it bulge out of the wall, but you'll warm up to it.
The Ultimate Dishes Hack
Alas, no one likes doing the dishes. However, here's how you can solve that.
![no more dishes printout of a clean sink covering dirty dishes piled in sink](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/no-more-dishes-77681.jpg?width=606&height=671)
This might be a temporary hack, but it'll come in handy when you need it most.
Make A Lot Of Noises
Honestly, making shrieking noises sounds a whole lot better than grunts and splashes from the toilet.
![going number 2 Sign: Bathroom tip: going #2? Discreetly cover up your poop sounds by continually shrieking at the top of your lungs](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/going-number-2-25104.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This hack isn't so bad, but people might think you're dying in the restroom if you do it.
A Dad Brings His Remote To Bars
This dad brings his remote to bars so he can change the channel if he doesn't like what's showing.
![sneak a remote a man holding out his breast pocket to reveal a remote control](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/sneak-a-remote-75260.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=86&left=0&zoom=1.14285714286)
Well, that isn't too bad of an idea, but I'm sure the owners might not like it.
Are You Ready For A Fun Night?
I know a handful of people that will see this and think that it's not a bad idea.
![feeling alone Life hack to feel less alone on valentine's day watch scary movies](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/feeling-alone-65634.jpg?width=700&height=933)
Have you ever heard of Naked and Afraid? That will be you if you try this.
Keep Your Snacks Warm
Using your laptop charger to keep your snacks heated sounds like a brilliant idea to me.
![keep food warm a panini between two laptop chargers](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/keep-food-warm-33250.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Look at how cozy that pastry is between those chargers. It's like it was meant to happen.
Ask Them Nicely
If you ask them nicely, it should help them stop crying and feel comforted by a stranger.
![ask if its the haircut Sign: if you see someone crying, ask if it is because of their haircut](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/ask-if-its-the-haircut-33779.jpg?width=605&height=680)
Hey, some haircuts are foul and need an explanation. Talking about it will help.
Use A Snake To Hold Pasta
If you happen to own a snake, let that little guy be the one to hold your pasta.
![snake to hold pasta a snake holding spaghetti noodles](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/snake-to-hold-pasta-63361.jpg?width=800&height=533)
As long as you train him not to crush them when binding, you're all good.
Buy More!
Take out your life savings, go to the local corner store, and buy as many lotto tickets as you can.
![as many as you can ad on tv to buy as many lotto tickets as possible](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/as-many-as-you-can-17144.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=110&zoom=1.57692307692)
That's the plan if you wish to win. You probably still won't, but it's worth a shot.
Adding Tread To The Tires
You need tread for your tires or you'll be in danger while on the road. Please, don't do this.
![for the tires man drawing treads on tires](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/for-the-tires-71202.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=55&left=0&zoom=1.32231404959)
I don't know if this man is a scammer or if he thinks this really works.
Be A Grinch
Here's one way to make sure you'll grow old all alone. Sure, you might not have to give anyone gifts, but is it worth it?
![fall out Tweet: Save a fortune in Xmas presents by falling out with friends & family. Lay the groundwork now so it doesn't look like it's about presents](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/fall-out-63131.jpg?width=605&height=271)
Presents do cost a lot, so on second thought...
Buy These To Make Your Car Stop Beeping
These come in handy when it's time to make your car stop beeping. You don't have to wear a seatbelt anymore!
![buckle in two seat buckles in a package](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/buckle-in-46686.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The only thing you're risking is your life. Weigh the options here.
