We do a lot of things every day and we learn a lot of new things every day. It’s now time for kind of a combination of both: here are some things you do on a daily basis wrong and how to do them correctly. 1. Quickly cooling a beverage in the freezer: Instead of just throwing a bottle of soda in the freezer to cool down, try soaking a paper towel with water and wrapping it around the bottle. Just watch as it gets icy cold in mere minutes! 2. Connecting cords in your home: You may have noticed that the last time you plugged something into an extension cord, it ripped right out. Try tying a small knot with the cords next time. That way, they’ll never disconnect again. 3. Wearing your earphones: You’ve probably seen at least one person who wraps their earbuds above their ear and down into the ear itself. That’s because it helps hold them in place so they won’t slip around when you’re listening to your favorite music! 4. Drinking soda from a can: At some point or other, everyone has had the annoyance of trying to get a straw to sit still in a can of soda. Those pesky bubbles just make it float out of the can! Thankfully, each can has a built-in straw holder. Simply turn the tab and slide the straw through! 5. Removing old fabric from your clothes and couches: If you’re still using a lint roller to pick off all of those little dangling threads from your clothes and couch cushions, try again. Next time, use a razor, and watch as it instantly becomes cleaner! 6. Waiting in line: No one likes standing in long lines at the DMV, a restaurant, or at an amusement park. It turns out that the “Caribbean style” of waiting in line is a lot easier. Simply put your shoes where you would stand and grab a seat while you wait. 7. Eating Oreos: Most of us prefer to eat milk’s favorite cookie by—you guessed it!—dunking the Oreo into a glass of fresh milk. Unfortunately, many glasses aren’t built to accommodate our hands, and our fingers get wet. To fix that, try sticking a fork into the white cream center and dipping it that way. Voila! 8. Slicing bread: Chances are, if you’ve ever attempted to slice your own bread, you’ve either completely obliterated the loaf or your slices weren’t very uniform. Next time, just flip it over to the flat side, and you’ll instantly see how much easier it is to slice. 9. Placing cheese on a sandwich: Anyone who’s ever eaten a sandwich knows how annoying it is to eat those corner pieces that are all bread. Well, save yourself those bad bites by slicing the meat in half and stacking them so the straight edges align with the edges of the bread. 10. Peeling bananas: Instead of cracking the stem and peeling down like you normally would, you should be pinching the opposite end. Not only is it easier, but it’s also the way gorillas and monkeys peel them in the wild! 11. Storing groceries in the cart: If you’ve ever noticed the raised ring hooks in a grocery cart, they’re there for a reason. They’re placed like that so you can hook the plastic bags around them to save space when you’re packing up to head home. 12. Using a plunger: You might not realize it, but there are actually two types of plungers. The one on the left is a flange plunger and should be used to unclog toilets. The one on the right is a cup plunger, and it’s only supposed to be used on clogged sinks and bathtub drains. The more you know! 13. Using tinfoil: No one likes having to wrap their leftovers, so they tend to do it super quickly and inefficiently. Often, the roll slides out, and you have to keep fitting it back inside the box. Next time, try using the “press here to lock roll” function on the side of the box and watch how much easier it is to preserve your famous meatloaf! 14. Using toothpaste: If you’re one of those people who think rolling up the tube of toothpaste to get every last minty drop is the most efficient method, you’re wrong! Next time, try using a bobby pin to gently guide it through the tube. 15. Heating up leftovers: There’s nothing worse than having to wait for one bowl of food to heat up in the microwave, only to have to put another in moments later. Now you can heat two bowls simultaneously if you perch one atop a mug! 16. Holding large slices of floppy pizza: If you’re like most people, you probably just shovel the pizza directly into your face. Well, it turns out, if you give it a slight fold in the center near the crust, it will be much easier to eat. 17. Buying chip clips: You’ve undoubtedly had to fold a bag of chips to keep them fresh at some point all because you didn’t have a handy chip clip. Next time, try removing the clothing clips from an extra hanger, which work great as chip clips! 18. Reheating leftover meals: There are few things more frustrating than the way a microwave unevenly reheats your cold food. Try making a circle in the middle of the food and you’ll instantly realize how much more efficiently it reheats. 19. Removing bags from a trash can: As if taking out the garbage wasn’t annoying enough, getting the bag itself out of the trash can is always harder than it should be. Try drilling two holes near the bottom, which will remove all of the suction that usually makes it more difficult to remove. 20. The airplane seat back: You know that little hook that usually keeps the food tray in place on airplanes? Well, take a closer look the next time you’re flying. That little hook is also where you can stow your jackets and coats. 21. Wearing bobby pins: This might come as a surprise to you, but there’s actually a right and wrong way to use a bobby pin. If you have the bumpy edge facing up, that’s wrong! Instead, face the bumpy edge down toward your scalp, as this will help it to move around far less.
