Ever "MacGyver'ed" something? i.e., used an everyday item in a way it was not intended to fix something

almost daily. I used to work at a machine shop

I could see that, sweet! I love finding random junk to fix stuff with.

I once used a hair brush with a rubber handle to plug an air mattress as the original plug was lost... darned thing worked like a charm and kept the mattress inflated all night without losing any air at all. Best part was getting to flop on the mattress in the morning and launch said brush across the room like a champagne cork, lol :)

The power lead from my main battery broke on my boat about 11 miles from the dock. I rigged the battery cable from my trolling motor to make the connection and was able to get back under power.

awesome!

That's awesome!

Better yet was the pair of Loons floating a few feet away while I was working. I think they were laughing in duck.

A 4' long piece of speaker wire as a jumper cable by touching the metal bumpers (back when they were metal) together to charge a dead car battery.

That's pretty dang smart thinking there slim! Sweet.

While my wife and I were dating, we went camping a lot. One night, we got drunk and later in the tent my wife sits up and says "I'm going to puke".

I woke in a drunken stupor, ripped open the dry foods bag, emptied out a box of crackers, inserted a plastic bag, and put it in front of my wife just as she began to hurl.

It was maybe 10 seconds.

I really didn't want her puking in my tent.

Amazing how a little inspiration like vomit will cause the human mind to race quickly to achieve results like that...awesome.

I sort of fixed an umbrella I broke with nail clippers and (I think it was) a pen

Yeah and you have some big tanks to fill too so I dont blame you!

I remember fixing my Nintendo 64 with some plum brandy and Q-tips. Nothing too special, just cleaned the connectors.

Alcohol is a great solvent, especially if it was true brandy and not a cordial with bunches of sugar in it, something like that I would think would gum up connectors instead of clean them.

True brandy only. Slavs are on the level of Celts (Irishmen and Scottishmen), when it comes to alcocholism, if not worse than them. Everytime my uncle comes with the huge-ass machine that makes booze, we invest almost all of our plums, pears and apples and the whole neighborhood gets drunk.

As for sugar, this is what we do with it: https://youtu.be/iH_K-VbGvVI

Don't call it "plum brandy", it's "rakija" ;-)

I once had a fish tank that needed its water replaced ASAP, but I didn't have any de-chlorinating tablets in hand, so I used a packet of Emergen-C.

It was a camping trip, but I used a pencil to try and free a ladybug from a web (It sadly did not work.)

Yeah.

lol :)

yeah. I used toothpicks to make a door lock. and a key.
don't ask I don't remember it was four days and a long.... instruction manual. I don't use it though it hurts to grab. and I don't know how to install it. I skipped that manual cause I didn't sleep well

I used flash light to set ant on fire

Lol, that's some serious mcgyverin'!

Ha

Well i tried to take a security tag off with a rubber band but it didn't work, so i guess no i haven't

Thparky, I need some help with something.

Best thing you can do for BP is ignore that crap. The more banter that goes back and forth, the more opportunities there are for them to leave nasty comments. You cant stop people from being nasty, but you can show her she has good, mature friends that genuinely care about her. Great that you are protective of her, but it's not worth the stress to give this other person any more of your time. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad imgflip has people like you on it.

Thanks, I just call it like I see it

He knows

Oh Hey GrilledCheez, Should I delete the Meme? It's genuinely pissing me off.

Nah, let's wait for her to come back first

But i don't want her to see all the rude comment's on there. Especially Eh_Who_cares_Anymore comments.

There is seriously something wrong with that person to disregard human life.

Don't judge a book by its cover

Who_cares isn't as bad as you think
