Also just generally always cover your hand when typing in your pin even if no one around

Obviously not an Irish person. Any Irish person in their right mind runs away from wooden spoons!

This works if you are competent and know the risks. But you risk short circuits, especially if you put in big balls of it like the photo above.

Not sure if the ones in the photo above are further apart than normal. If the device is moved they obviously risk shifting out of place.

You know those plastic bags you get in Lidl and other supermarkets for putting your fruit and veg in? Specifically, those with handles like these:

They're so full of static it usually takes ages to open them, and they're very annoying. Well, I discovered that the easiest, fastest way to open them is to work on the handles and not on the centre of the bag. Two seconds at most and you're good to go, as opposed to be spending ages doing this.

(45 seconds in, approx.)

I still haven't found a solution for the other kind, unfortunately.

Blow on the end with the gap.
Done.

Except that sometimes neither will work first time, but the handle thing seems to.

I'm kind of disappointed you don't have a cushion lifehack to share.

Ever bought a pair of shoes but they turned out to be slightly too big and you were unable to return them for whatever reason. Take an insole out of an old pair of shoes an put over the insole of your new pair to make them a smaller fit.

I know I'm responding to an older post, but there is a product out for this.

Shoesizers.com

can reduce shoe size by 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of a size.

I think this could be considered a lifehack ad honorem.

If you're in a lift and don't want to stop to let people on, hold the door close button and the floor you wan't to go to button at the same time.
