43 Strange Everyday Hacks People Swear By That Actually Make Life Easier

Making burgers, hot dogs, subs and other sandwiches (breakfast sandwiches, too) at home, then wrapping them in food wrapping paper, as the deli or takeout joint would do, then setting them down for 10 minutes before eating them. EDIT TO ADD THE WHY: Wrapping sandwiches is often the last important step to get everything to come together, to marinate in a way, to have ingredients come to a cohesive temperature, soften, etc. When we struggle at home to duplicate a sandwich from a favorite joint, it's often missing this important step. Cheesesteaks, subs, burgers, dogs. Try it!

Making your own salad dressing, if you’re not stuck on super sweet mass produced dressings, or if so now’s a good time to switch, it’s waaay cheaper and you can keep it for a while in a closed mason jar in the fridge.

Pineapple on Pizza.

Folding laundry while watching trash TV. I swear it goes from “ugh” to “mindless background task.”.

Ham radio. It a fun hobbies. But people today knock it as they think it pointless because of cell phones. Without realizing the power ham radio has because it does not rely on infrastructure having to exist.

Give the max amount to your 401k day one.

Trust me on this. Your retired self will thank you later.

Sing! It feels good, increases your oxygen levels, can improve your lung and respiratory function, and all sorts of other wonderful things.

Pedicures. Not necessarily thought of as a thing guys do, but having a daughter, it is great bonding time and feels amazing afterwards.

If you're doing a frustrating task and you feel your temper rise with your body temp, put a small fan nearby blowing on you to cool you off while you work. Increased body temperature is strongly linked to irritation and aggression. Literally cooling off will help keep you cool off.

I am constantly doing annoying jobs in tight spaces like plumbing and electrical work and automotive jobs that are frustrating and stressful. If you're like me, you get real hot and sweaty and you feel that "F*****g FORD ENGINEERS!" mood kicking up, a breeze on the back of my neck literally solves it.

Bidet bidet bidet bidet bidet.

Potato chips in your tuna fish sandwich. Have some crunchy with the mushy.

Putting chapstick on fresh TP just before your final wipe. Literally saved my a*s in the winter so many times.

Idk if other people already do this , my family says its weird . Putting mayo on a bacon egg and cheese bagel 🤤.

Cheezits in soup instead of crackers.

EDIT: It works for soup, chili, or pretty much any liquid based meal. Chili cheese Fritos are a solid choice if Cheezits aren’t available. I’ve never tried goldfish, but I expect similar results. Chunky soup and “fat b*****d” chili are my go to work meals. I was not expecting this much of a response. You guys are great for validating my soup-cracker choices 😂.

Sit to pee.

Coleslaw on top of a BBQ sandwich.

Grilled pineapple on a chicken burger can be kinda nice.

Sitting/standing in the sun after waking up.

Teach yourself to laugh when in pain. Your body just needs to make noise to alert others to danger. If you laugh that still happens, but if you're ever attacked and start laughing when they expect you to scream, it scares them. Since fighting isn't working, they go into flight mode.

Sea salt on watermelon. Thank me later.
