We are not defined by our situation nor what others do to us. We are defined by how we react to these things. These people are making the most out of their situations and making lemonade with lifeโs lemons.
1) When You Canโt Be There
This homeless man is actually making money by doing nothing but being creative. He set out his stuff and watches from afar so no one steals his earnings. Thatโs a genius way to make a few bucks for lunch.

2) No More Smashing Mailboxes
This person got so tired of teenagers and drunks destroying his mailbox that he actually filled it with concrete, leaving a pvc pipe for his mail. Now thatโs smart! That will teach them to mess with people.

3) A New Kind Of Lazy
Iโm pretty sure itโs more work to start the car and drive to the trash bin than to walk your trash out. But this person doesnโt care about the time they take, but rather the energy they expend physically.

Reddit
4) Must Be A Long Wait
It only takes a few people to start a trend. When a couple of people in line sat down and left their shoes, everyone else followed. If I were here, Iโd get confused because everyone has the same kind of shoes! What a coincidence!

5) Real Reason To Get A Spoiler
If you get get a high rise spoiler, then youโve got it made. You shouldnโt get one just to look cool, but so youโll have a built-in table when you need it. She knows how to use what sheโs got.

6) When You Donโt Have A Car
People who donโt have cars are natural improvisers. If you donโt have a car, thereโs a good chance that you canโt afford delivery fees either. Thatโs why this couple found a way around it. They strap their new purchases to their backs.

7) When Dementia Sets In
This is so sweet! When their mom started getting confused about the remote, they set it up for her. Now she has the buttons she needs without all of the other distractions. They should make senior remotes like this.

8) Now Itโs A Cool Scar
This kid was upset about his cut, so his mom made him look like Harry Potter and now heโs the talk of the town. Heโs way cuter than Harry Potter could ever dream of being though. Sorry, Daniel Radcliffe.

9) Or Can You?
If this teacher didnโt know any better, the kid could have gotten by with it. But the meddling teacher figured it out. Judging by the handwriting, this kid shouldnโt be old enough to come up with this idea, so Iโd say sheโs a genius.

10) When You Dress Like A Toddler
This guyโs brother made fun of him for dressing like a toddler. No one believed it was true until he saw this outfit in the store. At least he has a good sense of humor about it but I doubt heโll change a thing.

11) If You Canโt Afford A Tree
It looks like this hospital wasnโt given a budget for a tree so they improvised. This is something people do all of the time. Sometimes, they draw one, other times, they use wire. But these nurses made their tree out of gloves.

12) What A Nice Young Lady
Most dogs wonโt tolerate being dressed up this well, but this little lady is dominating Walmart with her style. I guess if you cnaโt beat them, join them, and flaunt your stuff. She looks perfect to me.

13) No Food On The Bus
This bus doesnโt allow food but apparently, drinks are okay. So this girl broke into her yogurt all at once. Sheโs drinking all six bottles with six straws. I guess it saves time if you donโt drink them one at a time.

14) Make Yourself Comfortable
Everyone hates long bus rides but this guy is making the most of his by taking a rocking chair with him. It does look pretty crowded in there and heโll be the first to leave. A little self-centered but it works.

15) The Most Realistic Lara Croft
It may be weird but this is actually the most accurate Lara Croft cosplay Iโve seen. Sheโs got the right amount of bits and everything. I donโt know how she even pulled that face off but somehow it looks good.

Reddit
16) Affordable Therapy
Most therapists get paid a ridiculous amount of money just to listen to you. Because thatโs all anyone really wants. Someone to listen. Advice is great but the listening comes first. Add empathy and youโre the perfect companion.

Reddit
17) Tell Me The Story
Iโm not sure whatโs going on here but at least heโs still working hard. When people tell you that youโre in over your head, remember this guy that never stopped studying even when he went under.

Reddit
18) Stuck In Traffic
This is a little extra but at least heโs learned to live a little. He made the most of out being stuck in traffic and now everyone around him is jealous. Next thing you know, theyโll be lining the highways with hammocks.

Reddit
19) He Deserves To Retire
This will fool most people. The security guard may be a bit younger in the picture but it is convincing. Now he can get his much needed rest and still get paid. If you think about it, heโs still getting the job done too.

Reddit
20) A Little Too Old
Who is trying their best here? This mom is holding her kids back and the kids are using her. But, when Black Friday comes around, they will be the first to grab whatever it is they they want.

Reddit
21) The Only One He Needs
Itโs the thought that counts at Christmas. This dad didnโt want to get a tree and definitely didnโt want to decorate. So he did his best regardless and hung an airfreshener that had been in his glovebox for months.

Reddit
22) When Youโre Low On The Whip
They realized halfway through deocating their pie that they were low on cool whip. So they put a toy pickup on it and now it looks like it was on purpose. Thatโs how you think outside the box.

23) Too Lazy To Mow
If youโre too lazy to mow, then maybe you should try this on for size. They made their mower automatic by tying it to a pole. It may only mow in circles but after a few adjustments you can mow 90% of your yard this way.

24) Sure You Do
This car claims that they share the road but upon closer inspection you will see that they do not. Itโs a good thought but if youโre going to park in a compact parking spot, youโd think that they would park compactly.

Reddit
25) Wait, Thatโs Illegal
Thereโs no way that this is legal, but there is a good chance that itโs funny. Meaning, itโs funny. The dude needed to make some extra cash so heโs pretending to sell this cop car thatโs parked outside.

Reddit
26) Let The Fight Commence!
This truck looks like a transformer and transformers are amazing fighters. But will this transformer defeat the karate kid? Itโs time to find out this time on Human VS. Robot. Sorry, is robot a derogatory term for transformer?

Reddit
27) An Awesome Movement
The Text Them Home movement began in 2012 and involved texting a homeless shelter to donate $10. The money went to helping homeless people get back on their feet, find jobs, and homes. The chalk was just a marketing technique.

28) No One Will Steal That
If you want to keep your packages safe, just create a scarecrow for people. A scarethief? Sounds good! Then, ask the delivery drivers to leave your package with your scarethief. Not many people will pry his arms open.

Reddit
29) Is This Forgery?
Heโs starting young! He actually forged his momโs signature in the best way that he could. It might not work out this time but heโs got quite a future ahead of him. But first, he has to find out he real name.

30) An Afternoon Drive
This family is out for a drive like nothing out of the ordinary is going on. I have no idea what the story is behind this but either they are drunk or they have an amazing sense of humor depspite their situation.


Source:
Reddit
31) Heโll Do It, Trust Me
This sign would be offputting if anyone else was holding it. But since he doesnโt have feet, itโs just funny and a little heartwarming. And in case youโre wondering, yes, that does look like some sort of โdealโ in the background.

32) When You Need A Belly Rest
All a pregnant woman wants is tacos and to lay on her belly. As long as she has someone to take care of the tacos, all she needs is to cut a hole in a lawn chair and she can finally live in peace.

33) Heโs Happy To Be Here
This kid isnโt one that likes to sleep in class but one day, he just couldnโt stay awake. So, he improvised. I wonder how long it took for his teacher to notice. After all, most people only see glasses.


Source:
Reddit
34) Make It A Competition
This is genius! Not only is it a social experiment, but itโs a great way to get people to be enthused about donating. Some people will call it a con, but most religions, as you can see, want to show that they are generous.

Reddit
35) Not Just For Kids
This guy doesnโt have a โniceโ car that he purchased for a lot of money. He took an average car and made it amazing. Why he chose Trix isnโt something anyone will understand but it is the coolest car in town.


Source:
Reddit
36) He Broke It On Purpose
This dude claims that he broke his phone on purpose. Itโs art, you know, look it up. Then, he put a Street Fighter background on his phone to go with it. This just goes to show you how important it is to make the best of what you have.

37) Go For The A
When this kid started pulling Ds in math, her mom decided to hold her phone hostage until she went back to Bs. To be fair, a lot of parents would insist on As but she got off easy with Bs. Iโd be thankful.

Reddit
38) But Heโs Cooler
We donโt know the story behind this. He could have been abusive, for all we know. But we donโt know the whole story. All we know is that he has a good sense of humor and is as stylish as he can be.

Reddit
39) When Laziness Works
Have you ever wanted to lay down and use your computer? This guy has it all figured out because thatโs exactly what heโs doing. He can even tape a mouse pad to that cabinet for extra traction.

40) From Dent To Dental
This guy knows how to fix a dent the right way. Whatโs cooler? A smooth bumper or a bumper with a ninja turtle on it? Leonardo is ready for action now! The only think that would make it cooler is coloring it in.

41) The House Didnโt Stand A Chance
This gingerbread house went down and this family didnโt know what to do. But all it took was a single dinosaur and itโs now the coolest gingerbread house in the neighborhood. Way to go, dino.

Reddit
42) At Least Heโs Not Lying
Itโs disheartening when you give money to a homeless person and they spend it on their addiction instead of something they need. But itโs especially hard when they lie to get that money. This guy isnโt trying to fool anyone.


Source:
Twitter
43) He Just Needs Help
Thatโs a great sign for anyone. This guy is a genius for coming up with it. Iโm sure heโll do well for himself with it too. Maybe that sense of humor will land him a good job that will keep him off the streets.

Reddit
44) For The Birds
This looks like a scary movie but itโs just life on the beach. This mom has had bad experiences with birds and these kids are oblivious. Itโs cool to see both the innocent and experienced in one image.


Source:
Reddit
45) Good Luck
This mom locked her daughterโs TV like this and hid the key somewhere in her room. All she has to do is clean her room to find the key. Itโs not a bad deal and to be honest, her room is a wreck.


Source:
Reddit
46) No Stupid Questions
This is the Box of Shame. People at this office have to wear it if they make a bad joke or ask a stupid question. Itโs a good idea and will discourage people from being lame. Donโt even ask about her lack of trousers.


Source:
Imgur
47) Thatโs An Empty Promise
Sometimes all it takes to get support is a sense of humor. This guy surrounded himself with empty bags of Cheese Doodles and promised he wouldnโt buy anymore. At least itโs not something more addictive.

Reddit
48) Donโt Cry Over Your Costume
Itโs hard to find something interesting to be when youโre pregnant on Halloween. But this woman came up with the perfect costume and made it herself. Feel free to replicate it because it should be shared with the world.

49) Sheโs A Legend
How do you wear a pizza onesie out in public? With confidence, of course. She does not care what anyone thinks and thatโs exactly the attitude she needs. I hope she thought that way in high school too.

50) Out Of Work Dancers
Being a dancer is beneficial. Not only is it good exercise and teaches discipline, but itโs also a great way to make money if you happen to have hit upon hard times. Most people will pay street performers.
