I bolted my jeans together at the button when it broke (defective riveting job from the factory). Just had to shimmy shimmy in and outta them like a girl.
Got tired of that loooong stretch to reach the lamp switch on the nightstand, disturbing the cat and my comfort. It has a rotary switch so I found a 8" length of light and flexy silicone rubber tubing and pressed that onto the switch for the neatest extension ever. It doesn't even look bachelor; it's totally concealed beneath the shade.
I like to run a fan about two feet away from my head in order to sleep; some of it is for the breeze but much of it is to mask the noise of the passing ****tards.
Regular table fans just don't come small enough or go slow enough so I wired up a circulation fan from a scrapyard refrigerator (about 4" dia. blades). It's gotta draw a lot less than a table fan and it has the right amount of breeze and white noise.
Those perforated scoops they sell for cleaning cat boxes... I wonder if the dumb S.O.B.s that designed them ever actually used one???
Because sure, you can sift out the #2 with it, but it won't help you get one granule of #1 soaked litter.
So I also have a plastic child's beach shovel from the Dollar Store without a handle and it works just perfect!
None of my cars have cupholders big enough to handle my favorite ginormous mugs. The result was constant vigilance and/or constant spilling. I found a thin plastic potted plant holder- like they use at the store- that fits my mugs perfectly!
It's an 8-holer; also good for tossing sunglasses, pens, water bottles, and you name it into. I place it in the car wherever necessary; usually on the passenger seat but if that's used it can go on the floor or on the back seat or even in the trunk. Man, I love that hack.
I put a digital wristwatch on the rear view mirror for a good clock.
I put a piece of very thin and light yet extremely tough plastic from a pallet slip sheet in my trunk. I cut it such that it covers the floor and extends up the sides a bit. It actually contains liquid spills to a high degree. I can put really filthy smelly things into the trunk and so easily clean it with a damp rag. No more hard to clean stinky sticky soaked carpets!
