Life is challenging as it is, and itโs much more difficult because it doesnโt come with a handbook like cars do. If you mess something up, there are about four hundred ways to โfixโ it. And in those four hundred ways, more than a third of those would take the โproโ out of โlife pro-tipsโ.
Some of them are so bad theyโre good, but most of them are so bad itโs downright hilarious. Here are 60 awful life pro tips that are so ridiculous you might as well laugh.
1) Payment in kind
A lot of companies would take advantage of fresh grads and pay their hard work with โexperienceโ. Well, experience doesnโt pay the bills so you might as well take the copier, the coffee maker, the water cooler, and your team leaderโs potted aloe vera.


2) And you can forget about the โthank youโ note
Prepare your bridal registry and sneak it into a busy secretaryโs to-do list. Thereโs a chance youโll be shrugged off, but also an equal chance to score a state-of-the-art espresso machine.


3) โAlso, pretend youโre busyโ
If youโre looking for a job, chances are, they wouldnโt even meet your reference. Imagine scoring your dream job with a pizza boxโs worth of an Oscar-winning performance.


4) You canโt even enjoy the velvet lining!
Coffins cost a lot and you canโt even enjoy the comfort! Let your family get the funeral money and just ask for the complimentary body bag. They wouldnโt even know the difference when youโre six feet under.


5) Itโs worth every moment of shame!
If you feel like a hot smoking one is coming, get a pot lid and toss it on the floor. Just make sure you finish farting once the lid settles down. You can always blame the smell on someone else.


6) Vaccination express lane
Good news, North Carolinians! Doing the math, it will be around $40 for the fast track. You have health insurance for lung disease, right?


7) Nothing like an fresh orange squeeze
And make sure to tilt it down so everything drips out. Everything is covered by insurance but oil is oil, buddy. We canโt let it go to waste.


8) Energy saving solutions
Late for work? Business meeting imminent? No means to iron your shirt? Just down a liter more of cola and let that shirt stretch over the extra inches. Remember thereโs a stapler just in case a button gives up the fight.


9) WOWEE!
Ever had that moment when youโre driving over 30 minutes already before realizing you donโt have your wallet with you? Not to mention getting caught in an embarrassing situation where youโre the only one without a backup egg.


10) Outta sight, outta mind
You just have to get in touch with your inner child. Cover your eyes and the world magically disappears. If all else fails, you can always run away! Okay, donโt take this really bad advice.


11) You got to keep it fresh!
Donโt let anyone take your heavenly chocolate cake experience from you! Down the slice in one go for that lasting sinful freshness! Moist til the last second.


12) Safety first!
Your car insurance is a scam, apparently, because every car is equipped with a โundo accidentโ button. Weโre just not sure if youโre included in the undo.


13) The solution to traffic is so obvious!
This guy just singlehandedly ended the worldwide problem of rush hour gridlocks. Two words: JUST DRIVE. What the hell are you stopping for? Your car wheels arenโt there for show.


14) Make everything Sesame Street
The longest-running childrenโs TV show worked around the premise โHow can we use TV to educate kids?โ Now you have your answer, and you can do that to any show at any time. Want your Spongebob? Then read.


15) Donโt let capitalism win.
To make things even better, take a dump while clocked in. What are they gonna do about it? Let you work with your crap on?


16) Nothing like a coffee canโt fix
Score some extra brownie points on the morning after! Itโs a great idea until you realize that spelling isnโt really one of the baristaโs strongest skill set.


17) Eternally forgetful
Not that weโve tried it but if youโre walking three blocks down, youโd be doing ah โDโoh!โ with a head slap around thirty three times. Donโt forget your hat next time.


18) Infinite shelf life
Generic plastic jugs, mason jars, upcycled wine bottles, or the pot in the oven thatโs been unused for five years! Youโll never have to experience the sour taste of spoiled milk on your lips.


19) Why stop on Friday?
The best part about this trick is it only uses things in your household! Tap water, a glass, and the indomitable will to turn your 8-hour shift into 4! Not convinced? Thereโs also a good chance youโll be skipping work for the next two weeks.


20) The only egg substitute youโll ever need
Out of eggs? No problem. According to the post, a Nordic food lab, blood can be a substitute for egg due to similar protein composition. This is just to satisfy our curiosities, okay? We are not recommending it. Purely for science. But 65 grams of blood for an egg, and 43 grams for a serving of egg white.


21) A cheap alternative
The idea is simple: If your house is starting to smell like the cinema, maybe itโs time to get out. Now you can have a snack while watching the fire department guys take care of the rest of your house.


22) The Principality of Nigeria
The early age of e-mail saw the rampant messaging of a Nigerian prince. And while the rest of the world dismissed it as a scam, a Nigerian apartment is drowning in cash. When you get an e-mail from a Nigerian prince, you answer that Nigerian prince.


23) Oooh sayโฆ
A national anthem can last between two to three minutes, depending on the country youโre in. Weโre telling you this because thatโs the only window you have to not get shot. Theyโre trained to respect the flag and to kill.


24) Wash your clothes for free
This scam is so good we canโt even hate it. Step 1, look for a washer dryer for sale. Step 2, ask them if you can try it just so you can make sure itโs worth your money. Step 3, walk away and enjoy your freshly washed shirt.


25) Coincidence? I think not!
Somewhere out there, a person is keeping this map handy. And when you see that person, I think itโs a good idea to call the cops on them.


26) Crispy winglets
See, this is the kind of idea thatโs born from too much alcohol. Bait the moths with light, drink a mouthful of liquor, light up a stick, then flambรฉ the hell out of those critters.


27) Fastest way to lose friends
You can even try and smell to see if itโs โspicyโ then bless the food with your fluids. Thereโs a really high chance that youโll lose a friend but who needs them when you can get a free bag of chips?


28) Procrastination hacks
You want to put off doing project A, then do project B while procrastinating on project A. Youโll end up making progress on both, which begs the question โBut did you really procrastinate?โ


29) Dining hacks

30) Condolences on your performance
Thereโs always a card for every occasion. Birthdays, weddings, funerals, graduations, and team evaluations. If you want to be passive-aggressive but less on the aggro, you can run to your nearest stationery store so you can say exactly what you donโt want to say!


31) Whoopsie!
The awkward moment when youโre making a public service information sharing until you realized youโre making future criminals. Nevermind the fact that theyโre using readily available household chemicals.


32) Itโs hammer time!
Sometimes, the solution is so obvious that itโs staring right at us. If itโs folded on one side, hammer it from the other! You can do that to your dented car too, for chrissakes.


33) Itโs all in the fashion
This is not scientifically proven but the efficacy of this idea significantly improves if you choose a colorful rocket ship patterned sock. Slowly lick the coffee from your mug too.


34) Brownie turds
No oneโs gonna steal that brownie goodness at work if you cook your brownies on corn cob pans. Up the effect by putting on a generous serving of chocolate icing, then dump it in a plastic bag. Take a good whiff off it too when you open the bag.


35) Sheโs not a psycho! Heโs just addicted!
This is clearly a ridiculous life tip, and weโre pretty sure itโs kinda illegal too. But at the end of the day, you can always say โHeโs just addicted to me!โ when people start to call you โpsychoโ.


36) Interior design hacks
You donโt need renovations or mirrored walls! Reclaim that space and make your apartment feel bigger just by doing your laundry! And yes, that laundry mound is actually your coffee table.
