side your gas tank is
on have you ever borrowed a friend's car
and it needed gas have you ever bought a
new car and you needed to gas it up for
the first time if you have chances are
you forgot to check which side of the
car that gas tank is on before you got
in it well most people who forgot to
check will lean out the window looking
for the gas tank or get out of the car
to find it you really don't need to do
that though on the gas gauge next to the
gas pump icon is an arrow whichever way
that arrow is pointing is the side of
the car that the gas tank is located on

bumps in your sweatshirt shirt s or
sweaters if you ever hung up a
sweatshirt or a sweater on a hanger
whether wet or dry well you know about
those bumps that suddenly appear in the
shoulders where the tips of the hanger
stick out if you want to keep that from
happening you can hang your shirt in a
different way start with the shirt
spread out on the bed and then fold it
in half next put the Hanger's hook in
the armpit of the shirt and fold the arm
over the hanger and then fold the body
of the sweater over the hanger you'll
never need to worry about shoulder bumps
again number six prevent orange fingers
when eating Cheetos most people love the
taste of Cheetos but they hate the fact
that they get orange fingers when they
eat them even if you lick your fingers
after each bite you can still expect a
mess the best way to keep this from
happening is to eat your Cheetos with
chopsticks it's a classy less messy way
to enjoy this delicious snack number
seven protect your checks if you have a
check that needs to be cashed it's
important to protect it from the rain
and from being ripped or creased to do
this put a small piece of cardboard in a
Ziploc bag the check will be safe from
the rain in the bag and the cardboard
will help to keep its shape it's a
genius idea number eight deboning a
chicken wing do you love chicken wings
but you hate munching around the bone
well no longer a problem if you listen
to me if you want to easily debone your
wing so that you can get a big piece of
Chicken in each bite the technique is
Simple Start by pulling the cartilage
off at the end next work out the small
bone and it's all meat after that now
you can really enjoy those
wings Number Nine stop hammering your
thumb oh yeah we've all done it trying
to hang a picture on the wall and then
boom smack our thumb with the hammer in
the process and of course we let out a
few Choice four-letter words and then we
swear we're never going to do it again
again and then we do it again well if if
you've not done this well you are
definitely in the minority many people
who don't have much experience with
hammers have done this yours truly
included want to save your thumb and
your pride all you need is a clothes pin
rather than holding the nail with your
hand hold it with the clothes pin if you
miss the nail who cares you only hit the
clothes pin not your thumb number 10
stack your clothes
vertically when you fold your clothes
and put them in your drawers in the
traditional fashion it can be difficult
to keep your drawers neat for very long
as soon as you go looking for a shirt
that is located at the bottom of the
drawer things can get messy and unfolded
if you fold your clothes and put them in
the drawer vertically you'll be able to
see everything right when you open up
the drawer there'll be no longer a need
to Rifle through the drawers looking for
that one single perfect shirt number 11
maximize the space under your sink
if you're like most people you keep lots
of items under the kitchen sink this
includes cleaning products gardening
products pest control products that copy
of the Declaration of Independence you
stole once the neighbor's dog that
wouldn't shut up when you were doing a
voiceover for facts first so you had to
dognap it and then tape its mouth shut
just to keep it quiet anyway I'm getting
off track here anyway a lot of the
products under the kitchen sink well
they have a trigger nozzle which is
great for saving space all you need need
is a spring mounted shower curtain rod
install the rod under the sink and hang
all the products with a trigger nozzle
from the bar it's a great way to free up
space for the products that don't have a
trigger nozzle yeah I wonder if I could
hang the dog from that
too number 12 how to cook corn without
making a
mess I love corn on the Cub how about
you but I hate chucking the corn and
then waiting for it to cook well
apparently I don't have to worry about
that anymore you can cook a fresh ear of
corn from start to finish in just a
little over 4 minutes you start by
putting the corn skin and all in the
microwave cook it for about 4 minutes
and then next cut the corn at the end
squeeze the corn out it's going to be
hot so you should be careful but what
you'll have is a cooked piece of corn
without the hairy stalk stuck to it it's
simple number 13 keep your bathroom
smelling great if you're like most
people you want your bathroom to always
smell good
keeping a candle lit 24 hours a day or
spraying air freshener constantly well
they're not the most convenient of ideas
not to mention kind of expensive well
instead put a few drops of your favorite
scented essential oil onto the cardboard
tube of the toilet paper this will keep
your bathroom smelling great until it's
time to replace the
roll number 14 peel a banana the right
way bananas can be difficult to peel you
could have a banana that opens easily
and another that won't to always peel a
banana as quickly and easily as possible
make sure that you peel it the right way
start by squeezing the banana until it
starts to crack next just peel it apart
you'll never need to worry about eating
a squished banana again this is actually
how the monkeys do it I mean come on how
many times have you ever seen a monkey
struggling with a banana my point
exactly subscribe for
more uh-oh I hear somebody at the door I
think my neighbor knows about the dog
