Actually the banana thing is unture. I tried it a few times with the last bunch....

Kevin said...

I use the banana one every single time. It's flawless. Just pinch the very very tip

J_Money said...

the banana part is the truest

Anonymous said...

I always eat my bananas as described in the text and works great for me

I would strongly suggest removing the advice on cheap "propecia" for hair loss.
The company is currently in a class action muluti-country law suit because a side effect to something like 2-3% of men lose their sex drive, making them basically a unic (many for life).
I know someone who is in that situation, and he would give anything in the world to have his life back. I think advising people to use it (such as in this web page) is morally very irresponsible.

They took out a few of the silly ones, such as one that says "To get a job as a beer taster and video game player: On birth enter the Konami code"

Daft Gadgets said...

The banana thing works, are you sure you are doing it right? Maybe check out a you tube video to make sure.

after all 6 billion monkeys can't all be wrong can they?

Good Hack..useful when I get stuck in the elevate full of people. .

Donne Bologna said...

Great article...My favorite is the "Get out of the house in time" hack.

A few useful ones but the elevator one just makes you a dickhead, and why the hell would you want to spend more time with an annoying customer?

Anonymous said...

you're not pressing hard enough, works every time for me lol

Well, Erin, you're a woman, thus, cannot do anything right.

Domestic hacks #3 will not work if you live alone or if the whole family decides to leave the house. How do you set up the chain lock and place the rubber band from the outside of the door?

Trevor said...

Actually banana trick works just fine - there's a small air bubble at the bottom that allows you to open easier from the bottom without squishing the banana.

Unlock a chain lock from the outside? Who wants to do this, doesn't it defeat the purpose of the...ya know, lock?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, works like a charm. You are apparently retarded Erin.

Anonymous said...

Maybe it's meant to be done in case you're a burglar or stalker and want to open the door from the outside, but then in that case if you can go through the trouble of doing all that you'd probably be able to just move the chain itself

Number 10 of the health ones is what we doctors technically call complete and utter bollocks. Anatomically impossible. In order to rock your vomer you would need at least 2 major skull fractures - and it stll wouldn't affect your sinus drainage.

Mooshki said...

Haven't you ever pressed the wrong elevator button? Or gotten on an elevator after a little kid pressed every button? And the credit machine trick is aimed towards a customer *behind* you in line, so you're long gone while they sit there. Of course, it is cruel to the cashier or to anyone behind them in line.

Anonymous of February 1, you must be hanging around the wrong women.
Anonymous of February 8, you are mean.

Some of these things are just cheating, though. I don't think I would like someone who lies to get a free charger!

The hair loss advice is no good. My dermatologist wouldn't allow me to go near Propecia because the active ingredient Finasteride can make you impotent, possibly for life! Instead he recommended using a topical DHT blocker because it goes directly to the source (the hair) and doesn't effect what's going on with your testes. I personally use AndroShield which I found on Amazon.com, but other topical formulas also work from what I've researched...

The "Extra Batteries" info is completely untrue.

the 'extend a remote'' works, i used it for my car remote starter, it would get about 600-700 feet distance to start my car, I tested it at work, i was parked about 1,000 feet, pointed directly - would'nt work, put it under my chin - car started. it also works with your hand, open your fingers like a parabolic dish, point the palm at the car (that is beyond the tested range ,ex.1,000 feet) and point your remote between the hand and the wrist (touching the skin) and the car starts. these two methods were given to me by a friend mid-1990's, and i was scheptical, didn't try it in front of him, but tested it with the huge parking lot at work multiple times, and sure enough, was glad to see the head lights come on, on those cold winter nights, get into my car nice and warm,.... test it youl'be surprised!

You have to PINCH the bottom end, not try and open it like you would at the stem.
*smacks forehead* dumbass

From woman to woman. If you really thing we do everything right. you are sadly mistaken. You must be that spoiled brat that no one like.

Anonymous said...

I like to start from the middle...

THE BANANA IS TRUTH!

So do I.........

Erin intelligence is less than a monkey... I can't decide if that's sad, or down right hilarious.

poliocer said...

If your actual door is locked but the chain lock is in use, you can open the door and easily access the inside chain lock.

Anonymous said...

this comment suggests that you are single and have a tiny dick. Am I right? yep. already knew I was (:

Anonymous said...

Wait, you're supposed to peel bananas?

Anonymous said...

The instructions are poor in that section. It says to pinch the stem when it means the end opposite the stem. If you follow the directions as written on here Erin is right it doesn't work.

Anonymous said...

Woo Hoo!! I must be learning something in A&P, because I actually know what a vomer is :)

Anonymous said...

Have to agree with you on that one. It's not a good idea to advise people to misuse prescription drugs.

Good for you, getting away with that comment anonymously on a Lifehacks post-- you must be an Internet veteran.
