When I was a kid I’d wash my grandfather’s car every weekend for $5. I remember the first day he showed me how to put my thumb over the hose to make it spray and I thought that was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. Not exactly a life hack, but you get the idea.

These folks in this Reddit post are sharing life hacks they swear by, and I gotta say, I’ve tried a lot of them and they work. There’s probably a problem you have that you’ve just accepted and didn’t know there was a clever, inexpensive solution. I hope you find it here.
