00:00Every older American should know these life hacks.
00:02Got a nail in your tire and losing air?
00:04Grab a screw, slip a condom from your wallet over it,
00:07the one that's been sitting there until it expired,
00:09and drive it straight into the puncture with a drill.
00:12Hit it with some soapy water to check for leaks.
00:15Sealed tight, tires looking filthy,
00:16outdoor padlock frozen solid every winter?
00:19Slip the lock through a plastic lid,
00:21then screw an empty glass jar onto it.
00:23It helps keep rain, snow, and ice off the lock.
00:25Pull, grab an old cardboard box
00:27and cut two matching holes in the sides.
00:29Shove a broom handle through them
00:31to make a makeshift clothes rod.
00:32Hang your clothes inside,
00:33then quietly steal your wife's expensive hair dryer.
00:36Stick it through a small hole near the bottom,
00:38blast it on high, and close the box.
00:40A zero-cost drying system that gets the job done fast.
00:43Got dents in the carpet?
00:45Drop a few ice cubes over the sunken spots and let them melt.
00:48The moisture helps the carpet fibers swell back up
00:50and stand tall again,
00:51making the dents look like they never happened.
00:53Don't waste money on overpriced tire shine at the auto shop.
00:56Grab some WD-40,
00:57spray it onto a rag and wipe the tires down,
01:00deep black and shiny.
01:01Charging cables always ending up all over the floor.
01:03Sneak a few Lego minifigures from your kid's toy box
01:06and hot glue them to the edge of your desk.
01:08Their little hands are the perfect size
01:10to grip your charging cable
01:11and keep it right where you need it.
01:13Did your wife drop a piece of jewelry
01:15somewhere in the carpet?
01:16Don't crawl around on the floor like an idiot.
01:18Cover the end of the vacuum hose with a tissue
01:21and secure it with her hair tie.
01:22Turn it on and the earring gets caught on the tissue
01:25instead of disappearing into the vacuum.
