AIBU to ask what object you use for a different purpose?

[sudo]

I've currently got a large tub of Sudocrem propping open my sliding sash window because it won't stay up on its own!

Must look delightful to passers by.

Has anyone got any other suggestions on how to multi purpose things?

Genius

I use a honey drizzler to hold my phone in the right position on the wireless charger.

It's only poo, it's not like she's fucking licking it off...

Absinth spoon (for melting sugar over the glass) makes a very handy mini slotted spoon for jars of olives, sundried tomatoes and the like.

So what persuaded you to give up your previous lifestyle?

Seriously, that is brilliant. I want one now!

I’m loving this thread 🧵

Pegs get used to close open bags / packets of almost anything, crisps, cobs, bread, packet mixes, cereal packets, nuts etc. Fold or twist the top and peg it to keep it from unfolding or untwisting.

Lol it's a relic from DH's previous life, mine wasn't nearly as exciting unfortunately!

I did go to an absinthe bar in NY once and tbh after that experience I much prefer its current use.

Me too! I've gotten quite good at it and can get quite tricky/heavy things down with them now. 😂

I have to store things up high, I have a tiny tiny kitchen

Potato ricer for mashing hard boiled eggs for egg mayo

Jumpers for goalposts

Also use a chopstick to get stuck toast out of the toaster.
Parted dds hair with a pencil this morning!

I use a corkscrew to get wall plugs out

I use a mop or broom handle to knock the odd, dry item of clothing that I want, off the pulley, if I can't reach it, and can't be arsed letting the whole caboodle down.

Fruit bowls are used to accumulate Man Crap in my house. (Fruit is kept in the fridge). I should really just remove the bowls to remove the problem

A mop to clean the pool.

Not me, but “D”H, who, despite having a garage, workshop and toolshed, full to the brim with tools, finds that a dinner knife (the ones from the “nice” set) works just as well as a screwdriver: on the screw, that is. Some of the knife tips have been mangled because of this habit - Grrrrr😡

An old broom handle through the sleeves of judo jackets to help them dry faster and in the right shape. Also useful to hang excess washing/ironing in the utility room.
2kg of dry spaghetti in a vase as a knife holder.
2 old pillowcases sewn together and two old pillows to make a washable square dog bed.
I keep Quaker Oats canisters and Lidl yoghurt buckets but have run out of uses for them!

I use silicone tipped tongs to reach jars from high shelves in cupboards so I don't need to get a chair to stand on.
I then use the handle end loop, which also has silicone round it, to loop over the kitchen window to close it, as it's sometimes opened too far to reach.

Or remove the man. But seems a bit drastic 🤣.

I am a midwife and I use the plastic caps off glass bottles of antibiotics as trolley/locker coins

One of them is my son ... but you make a good point 😉

I'm 5ft2, I use salad tongs for reaching things on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets 😂

GU dessert ramekins as tea light candle holders

Sugar tongs to hull strawberries. Life changing!
