When you are faced with a difficult task, it can be easy to give up before succeeding. However, with a little creativity and effort, most tasks are completely possible to accomplish. For some, this drive towards success is something that they are born with. And it’s these people who end up accomplishing certain tasks that most of us would consider impossible. Whether their solution was ingenious, creative, or just downright silly, these guys found a way to make things work. Check out this list of 50 men who refused to give up no matter how impossible the task and be sure to share it with a friend!
1. Truck Tetris
Most people try to take as few trips as possible when they are moving from one house to another. This guy’s idea of how much stuff can go in a single trip is certainly more than most. It looks like all those hours of playing Tetris as a kid finally paid off for him.
2. Hold The Ladder
When you have to do work on something that’s high up in the air, you go and get a ladder. But sometimes, there isn’t anything to lean that ladder against. Luckily, if you’ve got friends, then you can lean on them.
3. Safety First
I’m all about spreading a message of safety. However, this guy’s message would probably be better received if he wasn’t trying to spread it in such a dangerous way. Oh well, at least he tried.
4. Not Tall Enough
When a piece of furniture in your house doesn’t do you what you want it to do, you usually just replace it. However, not everyone thinks that way. This guy had a nightstand that just wasn’t tall enough… so he bolted it to the wall.
5. Forgot Hard Hat
When you’ve got a job to do, it feels good to just get it done. However, sometimes you forget to bring all of the necessary items to complete that job. When this construction worker forgot his hard hat at home, he just grabbed himself a bucket and got right back to work.
6. No Trailer Hitch
Moving can be expensive. There are moving trucks to rent, movers to pay, fuel to buy, the list goes on. So, to save a bit of cash and time, these guys decided to just throw their pick-up right into the moving truck and hit the road.
7. Incredible
Not every job site is accessible. Take this wall above the stairwell for example. Although his solution looks a bit precarious, he seems to be getting the job done. Nice one, man.
8. Quick Fix
The hardest part of working on heavy machines is trying to get underneath them. Luckily for this guy, his buddy had a little skid-steer handy. They were able to hitch it up to the bucket and complete the job.
9. Who Needs Eye Protection?
Some guys just aren’t concerned with their own safety. This guy is cutting through a thick slab of concrete, sending sparks everywhere, and isn’t even wearing eye protection. Let’s hope those sparks stay clear of his face.
10. No Ladder Needed
Some guys are all about efficiency. When they see a way to finish the job without having to stop, they jump on it… literally. Rather than grab a ladder, this guy just hopped on top of the railing and got the job done.
11. Composite Toe Sandals
There’s nothing I love better than a good loophole. When this guy’s employers told him that he had to wear composite toe shoes to the job site, he found a way to adhere to their regulations without sacrificing his comfort. Way to go, dude.
12. Floor Patch
Repairing the floor can be an expensive job. Rather than replace all of the linoleum, this guy just made a quick patch out of some cardboard. Then used some tape to laminate it. Genious.
13. Serious Trust
Some guys have been working together so long that they’ve built some serious trust in each other. This is a perfect example of one of those bonds. Rather than build an entire scaffold, they just found a plank and stood on it together.
14. A Dentist’s Car
Okay, I’ve seen people replace their side-view mirrors before, but never with a dentist’s tool. Is that mirror even big enough to use? Let’s just hope that he made it to the autobody shop and never drove it like that again.
15. Sheep Mover
Some people like to use dogs to move their sheep from one location to another, but not this guy. He’s made his very own sheep cage on wheels. Who’s got time to train a sheep-herding dog anyway?
16. Nail Clipping
This little pup used to hate getting his nails clipped. However, that was before his dad cut holes in an old purse and made him his very own hanging nail station. Now he looks forward to his routine manicures.
17. Big Time Gaming
Some people like to play video games–and then there are these guys. These guys like playing video games so much that they wanted to make them larger than life. I think the size of a house should do.
18. Selfie Tape
Taking a good selfie is important to some people. This guy wanted to take a great selfie, but he didn’t have a selfie stick on hand. So he came up with his own invention. I’m not sure it works quite as well.
19. Bandages Fix Everything
Small bandages are great for little cuts and knicks. However, I’m not sure that this bandage is going to be quite enough to fix this car. Oh well, it seems to be doing fine for now.
20. Tomato Toothpaste
This is an ultimate guy move. Rather than go and buy a new tube of toothpaste, this guy decided to just use ketchup instead. At least he doesn’t have to spit it out when he’s done.
21. Waterproof Sock
Condoms are pretty durable. Besides their intended use of preventing disease and unwanted pregnancy, these little rubber products can be used for all sort of things–like a waterproof sock.
22. Plane Pull-ups
If you’re motivated enough, you can get in a good workout anywhere. Now, the edge of an airplane wing isn’t the safest location to do your pull-ups, but hey, at least he’s getting his reps in. Keep chasing the dream, buddy.
23. Christmas Tree Laundry Pile
The holidays can be a busy time. Because of this, mundane tasks can sometimes get overlooked. However, this guy found a spirited way to do his laundry.
24. Toilet Paper… Tape
There’s nothing worse than running out of toilet paper when you’re already on the toilet. Sometimes you’ve got to get creative about what to use. However, I’m not sure that this guy’s idea is the best one out there.
25. Leg Tan
For a lot of men, their thighs tend to be the palest part of their body. Rather than submit his entire body to the potentially harmful effects of the sun, this guy found a way to target his specific area of need.
26. Short Chord
Sometimes your chords just aren’t long enough. This guy found a clever way to keep his phone charging while in transit. Now that’s what I call using your head.
27. Just Tape It
Tape can be used to fix a lot of things. However, I’m not sure I’d trust it to hold up an entire building. Let’s just hope it holds.
28. Percision Pool
Some people like to play games lesierly, and other people take it very seriously. This guys is in the latter group. He calculated a way to sink the ball every time.
29. Walk On Water
Who says humans can’t walk on water? Oh yeah, everybody. Well, today we’ve all been proved wrong. This guy has figured it out.
30. Only One Closet
This is what it looks like when you only have one closet to put all of your tools into. Although it’s a bit crowded, at least this guy managed to get everything in there. Now, at least, everything is in the same place.
31. Table Tennis Road Work
Sometimes, you just have to find a way to make things work. And when it comes to directing traffic during road work, this is even more true. Luckily, this guy was able to think on his feet when he realized that they didn’t bring the stop sign with them.
32. Makeshift Mirror
You know, at least this mirror is bigger than the last one. I bet it actually works just fine. If I were short on cash and couldn’t afford to buy a new one, I’d just ride around like this for a while.
33. Charged
This idea works well for two reasons. For one, it charges his phone. And two, it does a great job shading the sun.
34. Clever Capo
As a guitar player, I’ve run into this issue before. When you don’t have a capo, it seems like nothing can be used to take its place. However, this guy seems to have found the solution.
35. Homemade Stereo
If you are creative enough, you can make almost anything out of almost everything. I think this homemade stereo speaks to this fact. Although it doesn’t look pretty, I bet it works great.
36. Relaxing Dinner
This is a man’s idea of a romantic bath. We don’t need all the rose petals and essential oils. Just give us some warm water and a hot dog and we’re good.
37. Efficient
Some people like to be efficient when they work–this is one of them. Not only will he finish the job quicker, but he also won’t have to worry about getting the floor dirty with his boots.
38. It Works
Sometimes, all that matters is that it works. In this case, the guy just wanted to listen to some tunes while he cooked. I think he accomplished what he set out to do.
39. Hat Trick
A long bus ride without any form of entertainment can be tough to sit through. This kid had the entertainment, but no convenient way to watch it. That is, until, he took off his hat.
40. Package-Thief Prevention
This delivery driver deserves an award. In order to keep this package safe from thieves, he stashes the package up in the rafters. I wish he would deliver my boxes.
41. Lightpost Goal
Being creative and being resourceful is one and the same. When this guy wanted to play soccer but had no goals to shoot at, he decided to make his own using the light pole that already stood in the park. Well done, sir.
42. Hangover Cure
The worst part about being hungover is waking up with a dry mouth. And when water is too far away, it can hard to find the motivation or energy to get out of bed to drink some. However, this guy just found the greatest solution to this problem ever.
43. Camp Hack
Camping trips are great, but gnats and mosquitos aren’t. Luckily, this person found a great solution to keeping them off of you. Just roll them up in a strip of duct tape.
44. Even Distribution
Sometimes it can feel impossible to get a good distribution of your favorite sauce onto your meal. However, this will never be a problem for this guy again. He found a way to ensure the perfect amount of sauce in every bite.
45. Mistake Turned Into A Masterpiece
When this guy got a bleach stain on his favorite shirt, he didn’t just throw it out. Instead, he turned a mistake into a masterpiece. By painting bleach onto his shirt in the form of flowers, it now looks awesome.
46. Messy Drinker
This dog is a messy drinker. Rather than force him to do his drinking outside, this guy found a creative way to solve the problem. Now this beautiful box of plants gets watered every time the dog takes a messy drink.
47. Puppy Holder
Bringing your new puppy around is fun, but it can be tiring to hold him for so long. This guy found a great solution to this problem. All you have to do is wear your sweatshirt backward and you have yourself the perfect puppy holder.
48. Condensation
When your air conditioning unit gets condensation everywhere, it can cause mold and rot on wood. However, this guy found a way to prevent that from ever happening again. Just run a string down to a bottle and all the water will collect in one place.
49. Workout Motivation
When you watch a show while you work out, you have something to keep your attention–this usually causes you to workout for longer, which is good. However, stationary bikes that come with a screen can be expensive. Instead, just do what this guy did and attach your laptop to your bike.
50. LEGO Organizer
It can be easy to lose things if you don’t keep them organized. This guy found a creative and fun way to keep his keys and chords all accounted for. Way to go, man.
