So, this guy didn’t want to get wet on his way walking in the rain to his car. His solution was to throw on a dry-cleaning bag over himself. We aren’t arguing that it won’t work. We aren’t even arguing that it isn’t smart. What we are arguing is that it probably would have worked out better if he had just worn a jacket.
He looks pretty goofy, but at least he’s dry. Just as well he had this bag stuffed in his pocket. Still, he stayed dry, and that’s what matters.
Keep Wine Cold and Grapes Flavorful
On those hot summer days, there are few things that hit the spot quite like a nice, cold, glass of wine. But if it's too hot, soon you'll be drinking warmer liquid. Ew. One husband had the bright idea of freezing bunches of grapes and using them as ice cubes.
They don't melt, so the wine won't dilute, you can snack on them once you get to the bottom of your glass, and there are red and white (all right, green, but that's a technicality) colors to go with your wines. Bust this trick out at your next party for drinks that are always the perfect temp.
Fixing up a Mixer
If you've ever grabbed your grandmother's heirloom hand mixer, only to find it's smoking and putting off a smell reminiscent of fried arm hair, it can put a damper on your day of cooking. If you have a husband around, however, he might take the chance to whip up a new attachment for his cordless drill.
No doubt the amount of power the drill uses is far more than the mixer, so just make sure you're being careful. Otherwise, you might get pancake batter on the ceiling. It might make for a good story, but you aren't going to enjoy it while you're fetching a ladder and scraping it off.
“I Said I Only Need One Trip”
Guys like to be efficient. If you're a guy, no doubt you've done your darndest to only take one trip into your home from the car after an afternoon of shopping. You're left with strained fingers, tired hands, and mocking neighbors because you spilled a can of lima beans on the stairs.
This guy wasn't about to go through all that, so he grabbed a broomstick and started attaching bags to the handle. There is way more space than even the biggest hands have, and you only have to keep a clutch on the end bag. It won't help with putting everything away, but it still makes it faster.
Save Time on Decorations
While it's usually pretty fun, decorating the Christmas tree takes a good bit of time. It can be a hassle if you don't have the time to spend, so you might want to do what this husband did. When it's time to take the tree down, wrap the entire thing in plastic wrap.
It keeps the tree, ornaments, and lights in place, and as long as you have a big place to store it, it's sure to make decorating easier during the next holiday season. Just as long as you remember that there's other stuff to do as well, like piling presents underneath it.
