Life tips that just don’t work for you

[MrsGrindah]

Putting wrists under cold tap to cool down...nope
Putting a large piece if the eggshell into the egg to catch the little bits that fell in...nope
Peeling an onion with a teaspoon in your mouth to stop the tears...nope
Vinegar and bicarbonate as a super cleaner...nope
Twisting your upper lip to relieve cramp... nope
Wearing nice matching underwear to make you feel good about yourself....nope

Anything else I shouldn’t bother doing?

I don’t do all of these things at the same time I might add!

Well, 'sleep while baby sleeps' is a classic piece of advice that does not work for me!

I once saw Jamie Oliver insist that you can peel garlic by shaking it around in a bowl - maybe he can, but I certainly can't...

Now you’ve got me itching to try that one....

Putting half a peeled onion in a room to absorb bad smells. Nope!

Clean as you go. Even worse, wash up every tiny thing (teacup, cereal bowl) when you’ve finished eating. I’d rather do all my washing up at once - slightly less tedious and a lot less wasteful.

The one that does work though is ‘just put everything in the dishwasher’.
