Every issue on the planet shares at least one thing in common.

They have a solution.

It might not be the ideal solution, but one assuredly exists, and some of us are more creative when it comes to finding them than others.

Here are 7 unconventional solutions to everyday problems.

1. Just slap some tape on it

A cement column is starting to crack, which should worry everyone in this structure. Instead someone decided that taping it up will fix the problem. It is unclear how much the tape is actually helping but it was the only remedy they have during the time period. It is just going to have to work.

2. Red Means Stop

It is a universal sign that red means stop. Therefore, this worker did not mind having to use a table tennis racket to control traffic. He knew that the sign did not have to read stop, for cars to stop at his sign. It seems to be working, so smart thinking!

3. The portable office

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 conditions, 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.

4. 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”

5. Toot Your Own Horn

When your car horn breaks, just bring your own. That is what this driver did and he had no shame in “honking” his own horn at any other driver.

He might have major road rage and needed the outlet, but by the look of his smirk, he might just be having too much fun.

6. Backpack Hack

Students all know the struggle of pulling the correct book or notebook out of their backpacks on the first try.

Instead of playing the continual guessing game, all you have to do is write the subject on the top of the notebook.

This is a quick way to grab the correct subject notebook. This student probably has straight a’s.

7. One Trip

We all hope to bring the groceries into the house in only one trip.

We will overcarry 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!

8. Long Enough?

This bus passenger needed to charge his phone during the ride but there was one small problem, his cord was too short.

His solution? Let his phone charge and just let it sit in his hat. If the cord could not reach his hands or lap, it would still get charged.

When a phone needs charged, people will find unique ways to get their phone charged ASAP.

9. Need a Crutch?

Their leg might have been healed but their air conditioning needed a crutch. It was perfect time to transfer the crutches from the human to the AC. As one person joked,

“That AC is on its last legs.”

10. Keep It Moppin’

After a long day, chores can be the last thing you want to do. This soldier found a quick way to get the mopping done.

There is no need to walk when you can chill on a hoverboard. This will also make one go faster with the mop down the hallways, smart thinking.

No matter what anyone thinks about the look of these “solutions”, one thing no one can claim is that they didn’t get the job done!
