Life hacks are awesome. Handy short cuts that let you get the boring stuff done quicker and easier, giving you more time to get on with the more important stuff, like playing with your dog or saving the world.

These life hacks however, are not that. These are parody life hacks, life hacks so creatively useless that the only thing they are good for is making you giggle uncontrollably. Which I guess is an end unto itself right? This is the sequel to our previous pro-tip shit list, which proved wildly popular!

Scroll down the list below and marvel at the absurdity of it all, but whatever you do don’t take any of this terrible advice on board, as some of them are actually pretty dangerous. Do vote for your favourite though!

If I'd do that, I'd have to sleep until 6pm, as I could only afford to pay for one meal, after getting fired because of my sleeping schedule :D

I had a couple of boyfriends who did that with birthdays. That way they could get a present for their birthday while saving money on my birthday. It gets a bit obvious when they want to make up shortly after your birthday, then next year it happens again. (Obviously, doing it before Christmas means they also miss out on getting presents.)

Back in the 1980s I knew someone who did this. I think his reasoning was that if you had dirty fingers you could take that one without getting the dirt on the filter, and you could pinch off the end to remove the dirt.
