Other uses for a hair dryer

    My friend was telling me the other day that shes often too lazy regarding clothes washiñg and she sometimes uses the hairdryer to dry her underwear. With socks she will put the sock around the nozzle and blast a bit of hot air inside the sock.

    As well as that her friends once painted on a house wall. She had to paint over it before her landlady inspected it and she used the hairdryer to dry the wall paint.

    I often use a hairdryer to defrost the freezer when it gets too frozen over.

    Any other uses (besides the obvious) for a hair drier?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    fixing phone screens, it melts the glue.

    Pissing your dog off, typically hilarious.

    Prank on the missus, fill hair dryer with powder, set up camera, wait.

    I'm always drying stuff with the hair dryer. Sometimes when I get out of the shower, I hop into bed and put the hair dryer under the duvet.

    Its like being in a mini sauna :D

    Up, under the towel after a shower will dry the twig and giggleberries in about 15 seconds.

    Too lazy? Surely that's more effort?

    If you have a small dent in a car, after heating it with a hair dryer you can push it back out.

    Didn't the A-team use them to break out of a jail? Hair dryers inflating plastic bags and a very long lead!

    Defrosting the freezer.


    I used to live in a cold house, proper cold like. In the mornings during winter, we'd set up the hairdryer and then get dressed in front of it :D

    Removing the condensation out of a headlight.

    - Remove the headlight bulb and slide a piece of garden hose in.

    - Onto the other end of the hose, attach the hairdryer using tin foil or whatever.

    - 2 or 3 minutes on full heat and you're done :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    I use a hair dryer to start the tractor on a really cold day.
    It does a right job.

    Won't last unfortunately. Might do if you need it for a quick NCT. But the moisture will return :o

    I regularly get out of the shower in the morning and find my missus sitting in a towel half asleep with the hairdryer blasting away in her general direction. Think it's the same instinct that makes cats sit on warm bonnets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,344 ✭✭✭Thoie


    Unfreezing the stop cock out on the main road that wasn't put in deep enough in the first place by the council. 4 extension leads linked together, down the garden, and sit there for half a bloody hour on Christmas morning trying to get some water running in the house.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭foxy farmer


    For the cold nights. Get a shoe or slipper stand it under your bed clothes at the head of the bed and put hair dryer going next to shoe. A few minutes and bed is warm. Faster than any electric blanket.

    I do the 'sock over the hairdryer' thing but not with wet socks, I just do it on cold mornings so my socks are nice and toasty before I put them on.

    Never realised my hairdresser worked for Mossad. When she asked if I had any holiday plans, I thought she was just making conversation.

    This is so wrong.. and dangerous...... you aren't meant to put air up there, something to do with blood vessels and that air thing you can get that kills you


    "When air is blown or forced directly into a vagina — without allowing any air to escape — an air embolism (the abnormal presence of air in the cardiovascular system) could form, which can be fatal. Women who are more at risk for this unlikely possibility are those whose pelvic vessels are enlarged (meaning, increased blood supply to the vagina) due to a condition such as trauma and possibly pregnancy. So, if a very large amount of air were to be blown or forced into their vaginal canals, it's possible that the air could enter their bloodstream, causing a blockage in a blood vessel. As a result, some of these women, perhaps including the pregnant women's fetus, may experience complications. In extraordinary cases, some of these women (and the fetus) may die if the embolism travels to the heart or lungs."
