They say that every problem has a solution. We should keep this in mind so we don’t get consumed even by those little problems. We have to take action just like these guys who have proven that there is a solution to everything.

Broken walls? They can fix them – hilariously.

Check these 50 slides to see what we’re talking about.

1. Relaxing

If you’re hungry and you want to grab a bite at the same time but you don’t have a table in the bathroom, you can try this hack from this guy. I don’t think this is applicable if it’s a bubble bath, though.

2. Making Shade

This beach lounge did not provide shade for his entire body, so he made his own shade. All he had to do was tie a blanket to the top of the chair and tie the bottom on his feet and voilĂ , instant body shade. He even has his own personal space within his new shade to read, sleep or relax comfortably.

5. Hat Full

Train rides can be very long, so technology is a life saver in passing the time. The only problem is that it can be annoying to have to hold your phone throughout the entire train ride. This gentleman had the perfect solution, carry your phone in your hat. All you have to do is hang your hat from the seat in front of you. This will give you the perfect view of your phone.

6. Work Days

When you work from home, your office can be any place of your choosing. That is unless where you want is not realistic because of weather condition, such as heat. Heat has never been friendly to technology. Well, here is one person’s solution that could be a life hack for many. She puts her laptop in a sideways cooler that has ice packs to keep her laptop from heating. It also provides the necessary shade to fight against the glare on its screen, ingenious.

7. Smart Cars

If it fits, is it okay? Finding a parking spot just got a lot easier for Smart Car and/or Fiat drivers, that is if they are willing to take the risk of its legality. Smart Cars are parked like this throughout the entire city and people do say “when in Rome”

8. Speaking of Keyboards…

One life hack in creating larger Ziplocs is by combining two into one large Ziploc. How you might ask?

“You can connect two ziplock bags by flipping one inside out to make a larger one,” a Reddit user explains with a keyboard as an example.

9. Hidden Boxes

The theft of packages has grown exponentially within the past few years. Many have purchased porch cameras to try and keep their packages safe. This house did not have any extra theft protection but their local FedEx driver was not going to take any changes. He tried his hardest to hide their package instead of leaving it on the ground of their porch. Amazing!

10. Tie It Up

If it was not snowing, when was the last time you used the strings in your hoodie to actually pull your hoodie in closer? I personally cannot remember. This man found a new use for the strings, a personal cell phone holder. He gets to watch his phone on the subway hands free.

11. One Trip

We all hope to bring the groceries into the house in only one trip. We will over carry a massive amount of grocery bags that weigh what feels like a million pounds just to complete it once. One solution to help in the struggle of over carrying is to slip the handle of large items, such as laundry detergent, through the handles of the grocery bags. This will give your hands more space to hold other bags. Good luck!

12. It’s Not Broken

This clock broke in appearance but it did not break in its functionality. This must have been the reasoning behind in keeping it and just recreating the broken numbers. If it works, no reason to spend money on a new one. At least they tried to make it look presentable.

13. Iron Man

This is the best example of trying to find the best in a bad situation. When his phone screen cracked, instead of complaining he tried to see the best. So, he put Iron Man as the screensaver and made the cracks look like Iron Man’s strength. If you have to use a cracked phone screen, mind as well make it humorous.

14. Homemade Spoon

When life gave him pudding and no spoon, he made his own spoon. There was no way he was going to miss out on the deliciousness of that pudding. It might not be the most conventional spoon but it scooped up that pudding just the same.

The dog did what every dog would do, he followed his human through the entire skate and this provided great footage.

This man refuses to believe that there isn’t anything he can do and that includes walking on water. It might take him a very long time to cross the pond but no one can ever tell him he cannot walk on water, he just needed a bit of help. My biggest question is not about his water walking contraption, but rather who is the person in all latex on the other side of the pond?

Dad’s will do about anything to help their children’s problems. This child’s headphones broke and the dad could not figure out an easy way to put them back together.

30. Wine in Bed

Who needs a night stand anymore? This couple sure does not. All they needed was a few books to prop between their mattress and it is an instant wine glass counter. A great piece of advice is a thin book for empty wine glasses but heavier books should be used for full wine glasses.

39. Baby Bumper Cars

Baby walkers can be literal walking nightmares. If you have ever had your feet rolled over by one you already agree with me. They also are terror for the walls in a house as they can bump super hard into walls. In order to save all feet and walls in a baby’s line of sight, add cut up pool noodles to the bottom of the walker and all those problems will go away.
