Questionable Life Hacks That Are Actually Kind of Genius

This article was originally published on techytwist.com

Let’s be honest, what are you doing with your life if not working towards figuring out every possible hidden life hack there is… Even though we don’t condone most of these hacks (we are all upstanding members of society with clean driving records and shiny white teeth), we can’t help but salute people’s creativity. So consider this recommended reading, but don’t take it as your life guide (though if you ignore this advice and do, please report back in the comments and let us know how it went).

No More Dog Poop

People that don’t pick their dog’s poop are another breed of selfish. They get an extra point if they let their dogs do their business on someone else’s lawn. It’s simply impolite and inconsiderate, not to mention a potential harm to others. So it makes sense an annoyed home-owner out there would come up with a hack to keep puppies’ poos out of their lawn, and thankfully they shared with the internet:

Even though this seems smart, I think you would probably need to get creative eventually, since you can’t always have a ”Recently Treat with Toxic Pesticides” sign on your lawn. So if you do decide to try this one out, send us the new method you found to keep the ball rolling, and we will add it here.

The Power of Orange Vests

Orange vests can come in handy in many situations. Nobody questions a person wearing an orange vest – it gives people an air of authority that makes it harder for others to think they’re up to no good. The orange vest hack can probably be applied in numerous situations, and this person found the perfect scenario to pull it off:

Sporting events can be pretty hectic, when you mix sports with passion – and often alcohol – the recipe for disaster is done. So any hack people call pull off to make going in and out easier, they usually go for it. I’m not surprised this person applied the ”orange vest” scheme here, but involving their kids seems rather unnecessary and sets a bad example.

Outsmart Them

No one ever suspects the quiet kid, the bad liar, the ugly one. As many movies showed us before, those people are exactly the ones we should pay attention to. We live in a society that glorifies confident people, those who stand out and have something to say. But while they’re in the spotlight, getting all the attention, the quiet and shy ones are perfectly free and unbothered to plan whatever they want.

Am I the only now stopping to think about all the people I thought were bad liars? Well, it’s time to get everyone I know on a lie detector because now I won’t sleep if I don’t know who’s the bad liar! Even though this seems like a genius hack, you need to make sure you won’t get caught pretending to be a bad liar, when you’re actually a great liar 😉

Goodbye Long Car Rides

Driving can be fun, but it can also be exhausting. We all love a cozy and fun road trip, but having to drive every day might become a waste of time and money. American drivers spend an average of more than 17,600 minutes behind the wheel each year, and it is estimated that U.S. households are now spending around $5000 a year on gasoline. So it is no surprise people would come up with ingenious ways to cut down on time and money invested in commuting.

Honestly, this can be seen as more of a lazy life hack rather than a questionable one. Yes, it is not the nicest thing you can do, but you’re prioritizing your time and money effectively. You just need to make sure that the person will never actually find out where you live, so make sure you don’t try this with friends and family because things can get pretty awkward.
