#1 Sharpening Razor Blades
This is one of the most common things you have been doing wrong your entire life. When most people have a razor blade that is dull, they often go out to buy a new one. Over time, this can start to get very expensive. What you may not know is that you can sharpen the blades of your razor very easily. All you need is an old pair of jeans. Run the razor back and forth over the jeans and it will quickly sharpen the blade.
#2 Putting Your Clothes in Your Drawer
Most people open their drawer and they pile their clothes inside. This is a big mistake. When you are looking for something to wear you would need to lift everything up to easily get to the clothes. If you put your clothes in the drawer sideways, you will have a view of everything, making it easy to find what you are looking for. Also, you should keep like colors together. If you keep all of your black shirts together, all of your white shirts together, and so on, it will be much easier to find exactly what you want.
#3 Let Your Shoes Stand in Line
If you are going to be standing in line for a while, you don’t have to stand there yourself. If you take your shoes off in your place, you can sit down while you wait. Just be sure to move your shoes up with the line so nobody cuts in front of you. If you are going to be standing in line for a very long time, such as overnight for tickets or for the new release of your favorite video game, you have other options. There are companies who have people that you can hire to stand in line for you. For a reasonable price, these people will get in line for you and let you know when it is almost your turn. If you cannot get down there, they might even purchase the item for you. Thanks to companies like these, you may never need to stand in the freezing cold just to get what you want ever again.
#4 Breaking a Piece of Toblerone Chocolate
Many people struggle when they are trying to break a piece of Toblerone chocolate. The reason that this chocolate has indentations is so that you can break off a piece to eat yourself or to share with a friend. Often times, it is very hard to break. If you are able to break it, you likely won’t get just one piece. It will break off very unevenly. If you push backward rather than forwards, you will have an easy, clean break. You will no longer need to struggle to get a bite of your favorite chocolate.
#5 Peeling a Mango
Peeling a mango isn’t very easy. The reason that it is so difficult is that you are probably doing it wrong. To properly peel a mango, you should scrape the mango against the wall of the glass. When you do this, the mango will end up inside the glass and the peel will be on the outside. This is the easiest and the least messy way to enjoy this delicious fruit.
#6 Eating Tic-Tacs
Most people use the large opening to get their Tic-Tacs out of the container. This will make several Tic-Tacs come out at once. If you want just one Tic-Tac at a time, you should use the smaller opening. This will make it possible to dispense just one piece of candy at a time.
#7 Taking Off a Shirt
There is a very easy way to remove a shirt quickly and with one hand. All you need to do is grab the sleeve on the underside with the opposite hand. With one quick motion, pull it up over your head. The shirt will come off very quickly and very easily. It might even impress your significant other.
#8 Cutting a Cake
Most people don’t know how to cut a cake, which makes it difficult to get even sized pieces. It can also be very messy if you don’t know how to properly cut the cake. You should start by cutting two slices down the middle of the cake. Next, you can cut smaller pieces from the larger ones. This will ensure that each piece is evenly cut so that there will be enough for everyone. Also, there won’t be as much of a mess. You should never try to cut a round cake in triangle pieces.
#9 Playing Monopoly
If you have been playing Monopoly for years but you continue to lose, it could be due to the fact that you are playing the wrong way. There are a few tips that you should know about winning Monopoly all the time. First, buy everything that you land on. Even if you think it is worthless, it’s not. Next, never have more than $100 in cash. If you have more, it means that you aren’t buying anything. Also, cash on hand doesn’t earn interest so it’s pointless. Finally, mortgage your properties if it is necessary. You may need the cash to buy more houses or hotels. Once you start earning money from your houses and hotels, you can pay the mortgage to the bank and then get your properties back. Since other players cannot buy your property when it is mortgaged, you don’t have to worry about them going anywhere. When you are financially ready, you can pay them off.
#10 Eating Boneless Chicken Wings
Most people have been eating chicken wings the wrong way for their entire lives. Rather than eating the chicken from around the bone, you can pull the meat right off the bone. It is actually very simple. All you need to do is grab the two bones and twist. The chicken should fall right off. It is a quicker way to eat chicken wings and you can be sure that you are getting all of the meat off the bone.
