And being curious about it, I read it from top to bottom. I actually loved most of the ideas I came upon - and even if they don't work I found them quite amusing.
This is why I though I would share some of these hacks with you guys. Maybe some of you will try them out and share your stories with us?
I was told yesterday that people need to play a lot more... so here are some stuff you could consider a little bit of harmless games you could amuse yourself with on your boring days.
1. Reverse your hangers
Put your clothes in your closet with the hangers reversed once a year. As you pull your clothes out, reverse the hanger. One a year give away the clothes that you newer took out.
2. Ice cold drink in 3 minutes
If you want to cool a warm beer or soda in 3 minutes, here is how to do it. Put the cans in a pot, cover them with ice, add two cups of salt, and fill it with water.
3. Buy some time
Need more time writing a thesis? Grab any media file, and rename it "My awesome paper.DOC". Send it to your professor, who of course will be unable to open it, because it's "corrupt". This will buy you some time, while he writes back to you...
4. Get paid to poop!
You will use less of your own time and more of your company's time. If you poop for an average of 10 minutes per day your company will have paid you for more than 40 hours of pooping by the end of the year. That's half as long as most of the paid vacations!
5. Keep motivated
If you have to do something big, tell all your friends about it. The fear of looking like a lazy ass will be enough motivation to actually do it.
6. Free phone charger
Next time you lose your phone charger, don't buy another one. Go to a hotel and tell them, that you think you lost it there. It's the number 1 left behind item in hotels, so most places have a big bin filled with every charger that possibly exists.
7. Free hotel porn
Next time you stay at a hotel that uses Nokia TV system, enter the following code using the remote: 2,2,1,down arrow, then push and hold down the OK button.
8. Free air
At shell stations press the button on the side of the pump three times. The pump will start without you having to pay any coins.
9. See in the dark
When you wake up in the middle of the night to do something, cover one of your eyes and don't open them until you return to darkness. This eye will retain the ability to see in the dark. This is why pirates used eye-patches, so they could see in the deck, after being in the bright sunlight.
10. Avoid sinus congestion
If you have sinus congestion and steam isn't doing the trick, thrust your tongue against the roof of your mouth and press between your eyebrows. This will allow your vomer bone to move around and it will free up your sinuses.
11. Go straight to your floor
To go directly to your floor on an elevator, even if other floor numbers were pressed, simply press the floor and the door close button at the same time.
12. Make people like you
If someone doesn't like you, ask to borrow a pencil. It's a cool psychological trick that will make them like you more.
13. YouTube
If you want to show someone an exact time in a YouTube video, right click on the video and select copy video URL at the current time.
14. Solving mazes
To exit a maze, in real life or in computer games, touch your hand to the right wall and follow it. You'll reach the end eventually.
15. Ant problem
Ants hate cucumber. Keep the skin of cucumber near their nest or where they are getting into the house.
+1. Removing chewing gum.
If you sat in chewing gum or it somehow got stuck in your clothes, try putting it in the freezer first.
