Shit tips or genius life hacks that are fucking useless

[Stoppissingonmyheather]

I have just read the genius tips are the tops page of crap magazine and it really made me laugh.. Making useless tat out of pringle tubes and wrapping paper to clutter up the place aibu to ask you for your useless shit tips?

You need the Take A Shite FB page in your life. The "use a pitta bread as am emergency clutch bag" was one of my favourites.

I have seen a ridiculous one 😂
Cut an orange in half and hot glue the top of a bottle onto it so you can drink the juice...just fucking peel it and eat it!!
Anyway surely a hot glue gun costs more than a carton of orange juice or a bag of oranges anyway so what's the point

Saw a reader tip to use old dentures to crimp the edges of pies.

Can't get a picture frame the exact size of that lovely photo of your grandson? Saw your fucking headboard in half and then hack bits off to fit.

No picture? Just cut one off the cover of TV Quick.

Wow licketySplat that is actually quite good idea if only I had some dentures 😂

Absolutely everything on 5 minure crafts fall into shit category. It feels like they are now actually taking a piss

When I was a student, I used to buy Take a Break magazine, just for the hilarity of the 'tips' page.
Then try to work out which ones were actually people genuinely thinking they'd got a great tip to share and which ones were people sending them in as a wind up

My favourite was the woman who couldn't find a hair fascinator on the shops for a wedding she was going to.

She hunted everywhere! Nothing in budget, nothing stood out, nothing in the right shade of purple. What on earth could she do?

That's right! She used one of those nylon shower puff things. It was perfect!

Hahaha

Or the couple on holiday! He was struck with uncontrollable diarrhoea. What could they do?

That's right. He fashioned a nappy out of a carrier bag. That did the trick

I still buy it every so often to read in the bath. I do have a soft spot for the 'me now' pics. I want to make a collage from them

I hate you. I will be on there all night now😂

Adding to my watch list intge hope this thread will transform my life

Cannot stop laughing at that FB page.

The quick way to pop a duvet cover onto the duvet inner is to... squish it into a rectangle and insert it doubled over then shake out.... saves no time whatsoever nor is it easier.

The emergency pitta bread bag thing 😂😂😂 other personal favourites from Take a Shite on Instagram include: gluing ping pong balls to the wall as shoe hooks, sticking tutus over chair handles as decoration and sticking an old bed frame with the bottom cut off in the garden to make an “arch” 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m sure I once read this as a tip in TAB:

Need an emergency hat for Ascot? - use a shower scrunchie/puff thing as a fascinator.
It always makes me laugh when I think of it.

Apols - great minds remember alike 😀

^^ this. Plus most of them would take waaaaaaay longer than 5 minutes!

This ‘tip’ used to appear every summer holiday time in magazines - pack the heaviest things in the bottom of your suitcase to avoid creasing your clothes.
Eh? As if any baggage handler is going to take any interest in which way round they throw your suitcase 😄😄😄

Omg the take a shite Facebook page has just made my day, it's bloody brilliant! Thanks for that!

You should watch Brandon Farris on YouTube. He tests loads of 5mincraft life hacks. I'm never entirely sure what the point of most of them is in the first place. But he's so funny!

One of my faves - yummy!

And this 🧐
