    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:

    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
