Who\u2019d have ever thought a brain-racking or simply boring task could be resolved in the most unpredictable way? Once we find the key to cracking problems like nuts, we can impart our wisdom to others with a proud face since we were the ones who managed to come up with such brilliant ideas.\n

1.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
If you get a splinter that is still partially sticking out of the skin, put a drop of Elmer\u2019s glue on it and let it dry. When you peel the dried glue off your finger, the splinter will be stuck on the glue and pop right off with it.\n
\n
\n

2.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
If you stand up too fast and your head starts to spin\/rush\/blackout tighten your abs as hard as you can and it\u2019ll help drastically reduce the head rush. You can also do it preemptively to help stop it before it even happens.\n
\n
\n

3.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
If you get food\/grease stains on your clothes, cover the stain with dishwashing liquid. The stain will come off when you wash your clothes.\n
\n
\n

4.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
If\u00a0your ring gets stuck on\u00a0your finger, Windex will slide it\u00a0right off. Worked at\u00a0a\u00a0jewelry store for five-plus years.\n
\n
\n

5.\n\n
\n
\n\"\"\n
Use shaving cream as anti-fog. I used it on the inside of my motorcycle visor. Smear it on, let it dry, then rinse off and dry. It also works for bathroom mirrors. You can use it on a small spot so you can still see when you get out of the shower.\n
\n
\n

6.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
Rubbing vegetable oil (or\u00a0any cooking oil) on\u00a0your hands after you cut up\u00a0jalape\u00f1os or\u00a0other hot peppers. It\u00a0gets rid of\u00a0the awfulness that would normally be\u00a0left on\u00a0your hands from the peppers. I\u00a0rub my\u00a0hands with oil and then wash it\u00a0off with dish soap. I\u00a0can totally remove my\u00a0contacts after doing this.\n
\n
\n

7.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
Put your onion in\u00a0the freezer for 10\u00a0minutes before chopping\u00a0it. It\u00a0freezes the juices just enough to\u00a0slow down the process of\u00a0it\u00a0turning into a\u00a0gas, giving you a\u00a0few minutes to\u00a0chop the onion without tears. I\u00a0learned this tip from a\u00a0kid\u2019s science show years ago and\u00a0I haven\u2019t had to\u00a0deal with onion tears since.\n
\n
\n

8.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
Clean jewelry with dish soap, since other cleaning supplies might scratch\u00a0it (like hand soap or\u00a0anything that exfoliates) or\u00a0chemically react with the metals (usually that\u2019s harsh cleaning supplies), and dish soap is\u00a0intended to\u00a0clean glass and ceramic without scratching it\u00a0and silverware without reacting with the metal, etc.\n
\n
\n

9.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
Run your wrists under cold water or\u00a0rub an\u00a0ice cube on\u00a0your pulse points to\u00a0cool down all over quickly when you get overheated. It\u00a0seems obvious but\u00a0I didn\u2019t realize it\u00a0until last summer while working in\u00a0a\u00a0warehouse with no\u00a0AC.\n
\n
\n

10.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
If\u00a0you\u2019re having trouble staying awake in\u00a0class\/at a\u00a0meeting, see how long you can keep one of\u00a0your feet lifted slightly off the ground.\n
