Sometimes the world feels like it’s against us. Like, when you accidentally rip off the precious pull tab while opening a can of beans or when you are trying to figure out where is the end, the top, and the side of the sheet when making a bed. To some aliens from outer space, it would likely sound like not that big of a deal, but trust us, tiny humans, it is.

But thanks to some clever minds who were blessed with powers of creativity and problem-solving skills, life could be made easier, hundreds of times easier. But wait, let’s not hype it up too much, and let’s see what smart solutions to everyday problems Bored Panda has rounded up this time.

From tactile paintings for the blind to reversible public benches, and something as simple as a discount for well-behaved kids, these little things give us hope that no matter what, we are all going to be fine. Psst! More clever ideas to ease the stress of handling daily things can be found in our previous posts here, here, and here.

If it was common practice, then the abusers would know - and the victims would be too afraid to use the red marker in front of them...

    Over here many bins also say "Pfand gehört daneben" which translates as "Bottles and cans with deposit should be placed next to the bin" in a very short form. The idea is to have those who do not want to return the bottles do rather do a good deed than wasting the resources. It saves those collecting bottles and cans for deposit from grabbing into filthy bins, too.

    Humans have been coming up with ideas since the dawn of time. Some have been stupid (well, let’s be honest, most of them), some have been life-changing. But generating a truly good idea is a job on its own that requires breaking one’s conventional thinking and making that holy light bulb appear. But how you do this?

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Well, first, good ideas don’t come naturally. You have to engage in observation, do research, watch people, and reflect on what you’ve seen. Gather all the information you can and look for patterns. In this way, you may spot the problem that needs to be solved and this is the point where your brain gets stimulated.

    Then, writing down the ideas, even the most absurd ones, is key. Think of how many bursts of thought we forget on a daily basis. Also, don’t worry about how the idea sounds initially. Picking the best ones is the second part of the job, but you only do this after you've got a solid list of ideas to work on.

    Thirdly, remember that whatever it is that came to your mind, nothing’s impossible. Whether you dream of a business idea or a gadget that will change the world, accept the challenge you created for yourself and don’t be afraid it won’t work out.

    Because even if it likely won’t save the planet, and you won’t become a second Steve Jobs, that doesn’t mean it won’t make our lives a tiny bit easier. And this is what we call an excellent idea turned reality.

    That depends on where you live. You probably live somewhere in South America (Mexico? Argentina?). In my city people even leave their bag on the chair when they go to the toilet, and it's still there when they return. I lived in Argentina for many years and it drives me mad. Same thing in the car. I block all the doors as soon as I get in, especially if I'm driving alone, but nobody else does here. They think I'm paranoid!

    When I was a waitress if I had a table of wild kids but the parents were trying and apologizing and on their knees trying to clean up their wild kids messes, I would knock off their drinks. At almost $2 a drink it adds up. They always notice and left a bigger tip because of not paying for drinks and the mess they made.

    True, but not always. Sometimes kids will seem well behaved because they're too scared to act naturally. And sometimes they will seem spoilt because their parents let them express their feelings. It's not as simple as good parents -> good kids.

    Doctors didn''t paint this, that's a strange way of putting it. The department (consisting of nursing and administrative staff and doctors too) and the hospital chose to have a decorated MRI, actually painted by a company that specializes in these projects. It's probably a children's hospital. Great design of course, I hope they also have some other nifty things that make it a little less awful to go through the lengthy and loud process of getting an mri.

    They also have trains where you can 'flip' the back of the seats, so you're always sitting facing the direction the train is moving. When the train arrives at a terminus, an employee just walks up the length of the train reversing the backs of the seats.

If you are having short trip (under 10minutes), you will feel motion sickness and after a while, when you get used to it... guess what - train stops and you need to be able to straights somehow but your body and mind are used to moving to one side for balance. Sounds fun tho - I would do that as a challenge.

    Great idea that could serve not only to let you know if you took your pill, but also if someone else is taking your pills. note: if you need it for the reminder, it could fudge things up if there is someone dipping into your bottle.

    What's even more sad is the fact hat the victims of domestic partners could, and should leave the very first time any abuse is experienced... instead they tell themselves that it was a "one off" or, it was their own fault and they deserved it... but in reality once abuse starts, it never stops... it's a damned shame that they don't teach this in schools... they teach about all types of sexualities, but they never cover things like how to recognize domestic abuse, what to do about it, and that it is never the fault of the victim.

    Weird that you have coat closets at work, most people I know either have a spot to hang them in their office/cubicle or just drape them over the back of their chair. Excellent idea to segregate the coats though, I'd hate to have to wear a coat that's been absorbing the awful cigarette smells that linger in smokers' clothes.

    Not weird. Offices in banks, for example, have places you stow personal items so things can't be stashed in pockets or bags. It is usually a security thing.

    I didn't know that coats could smoke. Do people ask their coat "Smoking or non-smoking?" --- And what about "smoking jackets"? j/k

    I've seen this before. Apparently smoke particles on a smoker's coat/jacker transferring to a non-smoker's coat/jacket is third-hand smoke.

    If you smoke at home, outside or just smoke, poeple can smell you. Sorry, smokers smell bad. So it's essential not to share a closet with a smoker.

    Originally, the US electrical outlet was only 2 pins, and simply used folded bars of metal on the inside as contacts (prior to flanged plugs, you could buy 3 or 4 outlet devices which were the same size). Side-by-side plugs would require much more complicated internal configuration.

    The point is that someone has a split-second to make a decision about stealing. If they can see from a distance that it is something they don’t want, they’ll pass it by. If it looks like it could be something they might want, they might just grab it, open it, and then discard it if they didn’t want it. In this case, the company is trying to make the package appear from a distance as something someone wouldn’t want to bother stealing.

    I looked at these for a relative and decided against, as the kettle can be dismounted from the stand and it looked really fiddly to get back on. Bought an one-cup kettle instead - this heats one cup of water at a time and dispenses it like a coffee machine - it has a stand like a cordless kettle, so you can pick it up and fill it under the tap, but it can also be filled in place with a lightweight jug. Relative is very happy with it.

    I love the one cup water heaters! These kettles are fine but expensive and you can actually buy kettle frames that are a fraction of the price that do the same job. I have painful hands and lifting problems so I know this from doing my own research. Still prefer the one cup systems. Good on you for getting such a useful item for your relative.

    A friend of mine years ago went to Jerusalem on a type of pilgrimage and was staying at a hotel that was run by a lovely Jewish family. She was surprised to see a crucifix on the wall over the bed. When she asked the owner about having a crucifix in the room even though she was Jewish she smiled and said "Oh I don't mind at all. Such success from one of our boys".

    It being above you doesn't always make the coldest zone, these things vary. In one office I worked in I ended up between two vents that seemed to create some icey vortex that froze me. People didn't believe me and I had to make them sit in my spot to feel the freeze. Then they did! Always have an extra warm layer is my recommendation.

    And in the UK, the speed limit will be ignored anyway by the special people who don't have to obey such things. Which sadly seems to be most people. I'm sure it happens in the rest of the world too. It's why Covid is spreading as well as it is. If you won't even keep to a speed limit then what chance of you keeping to other rules there to keep you safe.

    Where I live, they will put a bright-colored flag above a sign that has changed, or when they install a new stop sign. I like the "new" sign better.

Oh, and a pickle fork works for olives, cocktail onions, etc. AND, this 'cutesy' little gizmo most definitely caused an increase in the price of the product, smh

    I simply do not understand the necessity for such a tool. When my children where little I had to spread butter for them and with a little bit of practice it's easy the cut thin slices of butter and place them on the bread. If they are thin enough they will warm up within 30 to 60 seconds and make them easy to spread.

    Eswatini has these but they actually have a big countdown clock and I saw a problem with this... everytime I was driving closer and it was at 3-5 seconds red, I didn't slow down because I already knew it was turning green, forgetting to check if the people from the other light have actually stopped. When I was running out of time on green, I sped up right in town

    We used to have countdown clocks for the pedestrian crosswalk, which is a good thing, except where there is no left-turn arrow... reaching 0 the moment the light turned green was too appealing for street-racers.

    The more common way in Argentina is how they fold or crimp the edge. Some empanada shops can have 25 types and they'll provide you with a little cheatsheet with what is what. This type might have three hash-marks and that type might be with X's. Jamon y queso (ham and cheese), one of the yummiest types will have the ends tied together and will kind of be ball-like.

Some banks have token generators the size of calculators they give their customers to log in to their online account. It's the same thing.

    The first Norwegian dairy brand to use these has now removed them, in turn saving a whopping 18 tons of plastic a year! Norway is a pretty small market, and this brand is not even the market leader. On the flipside, these windows have definitely helped fight food waste, and although the dairy brand says they don't have numbers for how much, food waste has a lot larger climate footprint than plastics.

    This is a really bad idea. It doesn't prevent people from injecting, all it does is make it harder for them to inject safely, so the risk of abcesses or hitting an artery are higher. It would be more helpful to put up posters advertising local substance misuse support services and provide sharps boxes. Drug users aren't bad people, they're people with a problem who need help to stop.

    It also seems kind of discriminatory, like the spikes some places put in front of their buildings so the homeless won't sleep there. The addicts will realize they can't see veins under the blue light & will find other places to use. Sad.

    I really want one of those tools. Cleaning a boar bristle brush is a pain in the butt, especially if you can't get all your hair out beforehand.

    If you have a hairbrush it's likely that you have a comb. Use that and save on unnecessary plastic/metal.

    There's little holes on the back. Presumably the liquid and the tilt indicator come separately, and you fill in the droplets right before putting the indicator on the package.

    No. 2 scales are in opposite directions so you'd move the ball higher in 1 of them. And the 180 degree scale would have a loose ball indicating at least a 90 degree tilt. There's no way to get all the balls back to a lower number [presuming you can't crush the tubes].

    This is called a barber's clock. It has been around for a long time. Barber chairs are usually positioned facing a mirror covering the entire wall, leaving no place on that wall for a clock. So these types of clocks were placed on the opposite wall, so the person getting a haircut could read it in the mirror.

    Or just place the clock directly above/ next to the mirror. Then you can just glance at it when you're facing the mirror or turn around and glance at it if your back is to the mirror, and instantly know the time either way.

    USB cables should simply be coloured differently on one side, or have a sticker, basically something more visually more prominent. This is a design fault, they should originally have been made so that they could fit either way.

    I have an eye level drawer that holds saran wrap aluminum foil and stuff like that. There is a cubby underneath and long holes in the drawer where I can reach in the cubby and pull the foil or whatever down from inside the drawer. You always leave a little edge hanging down. Kind of like an upside down Kleenex box. You jyst open the drawer, and put box upside down on top of the hole and push first one a part if the way out. Then shut the drawer.

    Well, in the case of US cubicles they're so badly designed with wide gaps everywhere, so there's really no need for this...

    We don't actively go around spying through the gaps. And since many toilet stall doors are closed by default it can be difficult to tell which cubicles are occupied without crouching down to see if you can spy someone's feet. Having lights like this are a relief.

    In most city with subways/internal train lines, each line has a color (and a number and/or a name). Some stations have multiple lines passing through. So if you know you have to take the 'yellow' line to go to a certain place, you just have to take the escalator with the matching color.

    The Walmart app has a look up what you want and it tells you how many are in stock, if they have any, and what aisle to look for.

    Why would anyone want to leave a phone sitting unsecured in a shopping cart? Never leave your hand bag in the trolley - and by extension, your very expensive mobile phone.

    I live in a college town. A lot of work has been done to get students to cross at walks - barricades in the centers of streets to prevent jaywalking &c. They still walk out into traffic. Someone gets hit every couple years.

    I wonder if this has something to do with the story of the book itself. Like a literary 4th wall break :-) Because, like other pointed out, it's not really useful as such. You can easily see where you are in a book.
