OMG! 14 Things You Are Doing Wrong Every Day Number #7 Will Surprise You
Humans are perhaps the only beings who are smart enough to improvise on things. Take everyday things for example. We might not be able to do them properly the first time, but over time and practice, we teach ourselves to make it work. But are you doing it the way it should really be done?
Here are 14 things that we have been doing completely wrong all along. Because life doesn't come with an instruction manual.
1. This is the right way to cut a mango
This is probably the most hassle-free way to eat a mango. No wonder we have been making a mess every time we get mangoes in the house.
2. This is the right way to slice a watermelon.
As you can see in the image above, watermelons should be cut face-down instead of the other way round. This way, it not only becomes easier to slice the fruit, but also easier to pick out and eat, without making a complete mess of it.
3. The correct way to put on nail paint.
That's right, ladies. Never leave the house without the perfect shade.
4. The right way to eat a cupcake looks delish!
One question though, how does this remain a cupcake after this? More like a cupwich, no?
5. The right way of wearing your earphones.
Yep, even I didn't know this. Taking it around the ear, before stuffing it in the ear. Not only will it be more comfortable to wear, it will also make sure it doesn't slip out.
6 Crossing Out Words
You probably just cross out words with lines, but if you cross them out with letters, they won’t be legible.
7 Eating Popcorn From a Bag
Speaking of messy hands when snacking, let’s eliminate getting butter stuck all the way up on your arm from reaching into the popcorn bag by strategically ripping the bag for easy access.
8 Listening to Music on Your Phone
Want to enhance the sound? Put your phone in a cup when playing music. It should go without saying, an empty cup.
9 Drinking Sodas
Want to keep the straw from rising out of your can? Turn the tab and place the straw through the tab. There you go.
10 Peeling a Banana
Do not peel it from this end unless you like all those strings that come with it, and if you like those, more power to you. But if you don’t, peel from the bottom for zero stringy things.
Okay, so I am twenty-something years old (I'm not confessing to my age) and I have been opening bananas wrong my whole life. I had no idea! THIS is how to properly open a banana. I grabbed one to try it out, and it actually works so well! Seriously...TRY IT! :)
11 Joining wires together
To make sure electrical wires don't get pulled apart when stretched, tie a small knot at the point where you connect them together.
12 Disposable razors
It's not how you're using it that's wrong, it's what you're doing with it once it's dull. Instead of throwing out your disposable razor right away, try this:
Have pilly clothes? Use your razor to shave off those pills. They'll be like new again, plus your razor will have a new life.
13 Perfume
If you've ever watched classic cartoons, you've probably had the wrong idea about wearing perfume your whole life. Instead of spritzing the air and walking through the cloud of perfume, you should be applying it to your pulse points. Perfume should never be overwhelming!
14 The elevator
That's right. There's a wrong way to use the elevator and we've all been doing it. If you need to get to your floor in a hurry and don't want to make any stops along the way, hold the "door close" button down until the doors close. Keep holding the "door close" button and now press and hold the floor number you want to go to. You'll zoom up there in a flash.
