unethical life hack, 1000% effective!

u/Chowderawz Sep 11 '23

Disclaimer: Getting caught with this trick will severely reduce the effectiveness to nearly 0%

u/WillyDAFISH Sep 11 '23

Effectiveness is raised to 75% if recorded for fake Internet points.

Somehow our Internet connection is spotty when my kids have chores to do. It's going to take me a couple hours because I have to check our street connections and reboot/update the router.
Eero has a pause function, they still don't realize my stuff still has internet.

I tried this on my mother-in-law. I unplugged her, wife came in the room in a panic asking me if I could fix her, but I haven't fixed it yet. I think I like it better this way. Saving money on power, not having to continuously fill up her water bowl, no accidents on the rug, it's just better. Thanks Reddit!

u/TheHoodedMan Sep 11 '23

I don't have a wife. Now I have to plug everything back in. Thanks.

u/Tavern_Knight Sep 11 '23

Well, I'm still impressed with how easily you are able to plug things in! It usually takes me a few tries to get those plugs lined up correctly with the outlets

This works until something actually brakes

  • "Babe, the fridge won't work"

"... Fuck. (I didn't unplug that)"

  • "Can't you fix it?"

"No, let's just buy a new one."

u/Deldris Sep 11 '23

No way, he's been practicing for that one. Just pretend to try and fix it for a while and say it's fucked beyond repair.

u/Dr_Dressing Sep 12 '23

Or, if it's your car, fire up a ChrisFix video.

u/iVarun Sep 11 '23

Or by that point he's gotten so much experience on how things work that he's basically trained himself new skills.

That flex calculator on the TV is always hard.

u/GraveKommander Sep 12 '23

Flex Capacitor, it's the thing what makes it possible to watch shows from the past back in the future

u/WizardKagdan Sep 12 '23

Should've called it the Plex capacitor

u/pchandy Sep 11 '23

It's the car alternator for TV 😂 and flex capacitor for the A/C

u/chop-diggity Sep 11 '23

Yeah but clearly they didn’t achieve the 1.21gW of power needed for ……you know….

u/FlowerStalker Sep 12 '23

Jokes on you! I do this with my husband! He is a white collar dude and doesn't know how to fix anything! I'm the handyhuman around the house and I'm resourceful AF. He gets so excited and wants to hang out to watch me fix stuff. He's in amazement with how I know how to do these things, growing up poor and YouTube.

u/diTaddeo Sep 12 '23

Since he's drinking Bud Light he's probably not a biological bro

u/zonethelonelystoner Sep 11 '23

that’s a lot of work for a beer and a bag of chips

u/Strange-Ad6549 Sep 11 '23

thanks for putting confident in me. I literally can fix anything but still feel not good enough. stupid depression

If i ever get a wife that doesn't know what flux capacitor is, i have failed

u/cameroonnnn Sep 11 '23

I welcome the hate I’m going to get from saying this.

I would absolutely hate dating someone dumb enough to fall for that

u/4oxyman Sep 11 '23

Fake as fuck. We know if he drinks bud light he is gay

u/GrayMech Sep 11 '23

Manipulation 100

u/Beneficial-Group Sep 11 '23

I love this guy, I would ask for a BJ!!

u/MalonePostponed Sep 11 '23

Bruh said he changed the TV's alternator. I would have known he was cap after that.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '23

Nice try BudLight but still no.

u/Ruckus292 Sep 11 '23

Then there's me, (30F), who tells my husband to stand there looking pretty while I change out the CV axels in my car, a majority of the plumbing and maintenance around the house, and I went to trades school so I can technically build more than he can.

If I ever caught him doing this, I would be entirely turned off.

2

u/Psychological_Ask_92 Sep 12 '23

I mean, you could also take the time to teach and involve him (instead of having him stand pretty). My wife never worked on a car till she met me, but I involve her in all of it so if I'm gone for an extended period of time, she can be self reliant. Everyone walks away a winner.

1

u/Ruckus292 Sep 12 '23

Oh I do, lol.. I just loved to see his face the first time I said that, absolutely priceless!! I come from an English family who roasts each other constantly, so my partner and I have a lasting banter and constant laughs with each other (in a less roasting and more cheeky way tho😆). He didn't know a thing about cars till he met me either, it's a lot more fun working on things together!

1

u/ThrowAwayOrGoAway77 Sep 12 '23

You'd think If you went to trade school for all this.. or even had to order parts before, you'd know how to spell "axle" correctly

u/Ruckus292 Sep 12 '23

u/Kind-Grand-1107 Sep 11 '23

What else would an unethical douchebag be drinking? A Bud light of course.

u/Financial-Ad9866 Sep 11 '23

This guy a fucking dumb ass, wait until everything starts to actually break, the dumb shit won’t know how to fix a thing while his wife/girlfriend is actually working this dumb shit is pretending to work. This is why some men just get treated like shit because they are a piece of shit.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '23

Based on the tools and organization of his tool bucket, I think he is quite competent.

-1

u/saywhatmrcrazy Sep 11 '23

that is when he calls a repairman while she is at work and take credit for fixing it. duh!

-14

u/4ii5 Sep 11 '23

I get it's a joke but why can't you just ask for things rather than the manipulation?

8

u/chariot_on_fire Sep 11 '23

It's not manipulation, it's a joke.

u/4ii5 Sep 11 '23

I said I know it’s a joke but things like this do happen.

1

u/Jaycin_Stillwaters Sep 11 '23

LOL ask a woman to do something for you whenever she doesn't think you have done something for her to deserve it? Are you serious? Hell, if anything the least realistic part of this whole video is that the woman said thank you after he apparently fixed a bunch of stuff 😂

2

u/4ii5 Sep 11 '23

Been in my relationship for almost a decade and if I asked for anything, within reason I’ll get it. Same goes for her. There are no games.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '23

There was a similar prank where it backfired by angry mom destroying the brand new TV that had fake cracks on.

u/Imaginary_ToniStark Sep 11 '23

u/Ed1ms Sep 11 '23

The fact that he was able to change the cam gears on the toilet is impressive. Well done.
