18 Casual Things We Learned Embarrassingly Late

- Some things you use every day without even thinking, have their secrets. Remember those mysterious stripes on bathroom towels? It's not just a decoration - it's a stabilizer strip to help the towel last longer. The circle on the plastic milk jug can tell you if the milk is good or bad. There's a big chance that your oven door is removable: it means you can clean it between the glass, as well.

Another tip for those plain stripes on the towel: if they shrink during laundering, you can stretch them back to shape while the towel is still damp.
So we're just going to ignore the fact that they are acting like knowing how to refill a stapler is revolutionary?? 😂😭
Right! I has to rewind that part twice🤣🤣so basically refill the stapler 🤔 got it 🙄
@@darklovely2431 I need to know if this guy was just buying a new stapler everytime he ran out 🤣🤣
@@darklovely2431 I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was missing some "secret" compartment underneath since he said "turn your stapler OVER." I actually pulled my stapler out to check. 🤦♀
@@little.pixiedoll sounds like something they would do 🤣🤣🤣
@@87Ahoff87 Most staplers have compartments on the bottom for extra staple storage.
Some of them don't have that though.
Learn something every day, who knew I could have re-filled all the staplers I threw away
😂😂😂
I love how he literally explained how to use a stapler! I’m sooo glad I learned that. Now I don’t have to buy a new one every time I run out of staples. Lol 😂
Lol. I was wondering about that myself. I mean, isn't that just how you'd normally refill it? 😄
Wasn't that insane lol
Right!!!! 😂
LOL - but believe it or not, there are a lot of young people who have no clue how to refill one!
I thought the same, but than i realized the were talking about the underside of the stapler. Some of them have a container under them. So you can always have refill with you.
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the darks thoughts, the overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life...,
So if you connect your seatbelt to the door to keep out the bad guy, won't the bad guy try another door? And if you do all the doors, how do you get back into your car?
I wondered the same thing. How do you get back in?
Won't he break a window?
This is a trick that truck drivers use when sleeping for the night, you obviously can't do it when you get out of the car, so it's only for if you're sleeping in the car.
@@nandee1fuery Well, that makes way more sense. I was thinking that when you go back to get in your car, you will have to open the passenger door to undo the driver seatbelt & then go around to get in. Then I thought that the car theif could do that as well. Lol
It is a great tip for truck drivers or anyone that sleeps in car while traveling or whatever. 👍✌
Seriously??? This is a technique taught to women for self defense. And obviously it does not work if you exit the vehicle. This is only for people waiting inside their vehicles. The video showed that. Targeting the driver directly is the most effective path for a criminal. If any unknown opens any door but the drivers door you put the car in gear and drive!
Please explain how the towel stripes help your family distinguish between towels. In my family, they can't even stick to colour coding.
Better to roll them anyway. So much easier removing one without disturbing the rest.
@@kerensabirch5214 9iììl
Yeah I don't get it. Like whose going to memorize multiple stipe patterns. Just use your own towel lol
😂
Some families can't distinguish between towels and toilet paper, so I suppose the stripes really do help...
Interesting. With my towels, the first part to shrink is the stripe.
I have towels without stripes. Have not noticed any shrinking. They're also not very fluffy though
Or the rest of the towel stretches out 🤔
Yes that stripe definitely shrinks and pulls the towels out of shape. I've never noticed they were any different either, just wider on the big towels than the hand towels. Much easier to just have different coloured towels each.
The whole towel thing in this video is ridiculous, none of it makes sense lol you can fold the towel anywhere on it and clean behind your ears and between your toes , and you can tell the difference between towels in general , made no sense
I just use the corner to dry my ears lol.
Am I the only person stressed about how the towels are folded at 2:40
Yes, my dear person
You are rhe ONlY one......
Well I wouldn't say stressed, but I did cringe. That was horrendous, and such a waste of space! >^..^
I was stressed when at 2:20 she first clean between her toes then used the same to clean behind ears 🤣
Agreed. There are a lot of "how to fold towels" videos on UA-cam, but hey, at least she is folding and putting them away, instead of leaving them on a pile on the bed to be moved to the top of the dresser!
Yep. Marie Kondo has the right idea - ROLL THEM!
The pineapple and sweater fold were brilliant. My mom taught me if you take hardboiled eggs out of the pan. Then you plunge them in a bowl of ice water. The shells come off so easily
Unfortunately not if they are fresh eggs. The shells come off in little pieces and some of the eggs stick to them. 🤬
My only issue with the pineapple is in the example that pineapple is nowhere near ripe. All green? Ugh!
And getting sick from someone else's spit, just makes me feel sick. Besides your spouse or significant other. I will stick to a tsp of baking soda in the boiling water.
When I clean the tub, I just gather the bottom of the curtain and liner and flip it over the curtain rod. No tying.
Same here. Much easier than knotting.
I keep a ribbon (which matches the outside shower curtain color-wise) on one of the ‘shower curtain hanger-up-er’ hooks. When taking a bath or cleaning the tub, it’s there to tie the shower curtain and liner into a scrunched up-but totally longitudinal-bunch.
There are certain bathrooms where the curtain rod is one inch away from the ceiling. Not everyone lives in the Hamptons. 😉
Super appreciative of the cursor tip at the beginning!! That thing drives me nuts, it's nice to have a way around it now!! Thank You!!
I think that was the ONLY useful tip in the entire video. Can I get the rest of my 5+ min back? 😂
When hanging sweaters, yes this is partially right. You also need to push the sleeves and body through the bottom of the bottom of the hanger. Otherwise it will slide off the top of the hanger.
There were some of the tips that were cool, but many were abt as old news as they come.
6:36 imagine you order a boiled egg & the waiter does this on your table 🤮
I always use a teaspoon - put it inside and let it follow the shell inside all around. It is very easy and fast. (The teaspoon must be thin at the tip - some teaspoons are better than others).
Love from Denmark.
Mandar Bamane -you made my laugh of the day!🤣
If you can’t get the towel behind your ear, I feel for you.
🤣
I messed up my oven door by doing this. It was never the same afterwards, and lots of different parts never came back together the same.
I think the general principle in life is never take anything apart that you don't absolutely have to! It might not go back the same. Or it might not even go back at all, when you're aiming for it to go back better, it probably won't.
😬
You might’ve done it wrong then
Okay so you put the seatbelt through the handle of your door so criminals can't break into your car. Even if they get it open. So how do I get back into my car?😂😂😂
That cling wrap thing - if freezing it makes it less sticky surely that defeats the object. It's SUPPOSED to be sticky - the clue is in the name.
it will warm back up immediately.just makes it not stick to itself quite as much
I think you are misunderstanding lol they mean that whenever you are pulling the clingwrap off the roll silly🤪
I had no idea about the spacebar thing on the cell phone. You have changed my life!
I was yelling at the computer for about half of these before I realized that these videos literally serve as someone's dad in life.
I hadn’t thought of that😊
lighting a match that way is dangerous; you could set the entire book on fire and potentially start a fire
That is how it has been done for a long time and there does not seem to be an issue. I have done it myself countless times with no issue because the match does not ignite until it is past the cardboard.
"Close book before striking." That used to be printed on every matchbook, isn't it still? I quit smoking a few years ago so I kinda lost touch with smoking etiquette.
I have burnt my thumb doing it that way
Not all milk cartons have circles.
I loved this one; drop the milk, the bubble pops out. Expired!
I guess they still have these in England. There are times when it seems like all of these videos are aimed at British people. Why is that?
@@thediplomasta5891 Not true, we have never ever had circles in milk bottles. All of the other tips could be aimed at any country.
@@crimejunkie1 I don't know where YOU live, but we absolutely do have them here in the US.
@@xaenon I was replying to someone saying they must be still in England, we have never had them ever, so that reply must indicate where I am?
Wait, how would I be able to get back in my car?
IKR...PASSENGER SIDE
Even more perplexing.... how'd you get out?
Exactly.
I had to rewind to watch that again thinking I missed something....Cruz I was wondering the same thing.
are we missing something 😆
I bought two dozen of the same color and brand towels for my master bathroom. I washed and dried those towels. Half of those towels shrank where those striped lines were that are shown in your video. Now the area below those stripes ruffle. I can pull on it to make it smooth again but it rips the stitching & those striped lines causing the towels to fall apart as they are washed. I can sort of fix it but it will look repaired, old or second-hand towels. Returning them per company policy was not an option for different reasons that are too long to list here. They are name brand towels that should not have done this. I had bought another set of them for my other bathrooms the year before buying these towels, same store, same on sale price. Of course that place went out of business soon after my encounter with them. I have found that those stripes that you talk about in this video did not do what they were suppose to do which in the end made me sad and disappointed.
The match book thing folding it over is something that has been known for as long I can remember
And I’ve known of people who started the whole book of matches by doing this. Unsafe.
I always thought that was for people afraid to do it the regular way.
No need t lite matches now
@@rickbowman21 I know someone who had serious burns on his hands from doing this.
Who even uses matches anyway
Cling Wrap is suppose to cling over what you are wrapping, if its not able to cling it wont stay wrapped.
The stapler one is strange: "turn your stapler OVER". I would have said open the stapler and place staples in it. Also, they make it seem like there's a separate area to hold staples and that's where you place the extra staples, ready to fill--never have seen nor heard of this before.
I had exactly the same dilemma. Solved now.
@@AncientWisdom222 How did you solve? Buy more staples?
@@aprildegele1510 I went and bought six new staplers from market. Ha !
There actually is a separate area in many staplers to hold backup staples. But it's not in all staplers which makes it not a great tip.
Because that actually was the tip. If you watch it again, you'll notice that they actually said that staplers have a compartment underneath for extra row of staples (that you can then take out and refill from the top like normal.) Not every stapler have this extra compartment but some do. This video was just made so badly that at first it really seemed like it was just showing a normal refill. They should have left that part off and it would have been easier to see what they tried to tell us.
I love how she sprays the washing liquid on one tile and the next frame we see clean tiles on next row.
I'm loving how many people didn't pay attention to the stapler one!
I don’t understand the car door one. How do you get into your own car. My assumption is that you do that to all 4 doors or else it’s pointless.
Maybe they meant when we've to sleep inside lol
@@mandarbamane4268 LOL! No. No. NO.
Exact same question here, no one can go inside even you. And you can't do this with all the doors so it pointless
I think it only works if you have a remote key. Then you can open one of the back doors to get at the front door. Since unless they break the windows, the best way to get in is to pick the lock and back doors don’t have visible locks.
I don't know about y'all but there is no door handle in my car that the seat belt could go through. My doors open when I put my hand under the handle, and then pull up. If you can only do this in your car, the burglar is undoubtedly smart enough to look for the loose seatbelt and get in through that door. I don't understand this one at all.
lol that stapler though like did everyone think they were one time use only and if they run out it's over?
😂😂😂
🤣 I am stitching to work out WTH he meant in that clip🤣
Indeed…. I was at lost why it was in the vid.
Like. I knew that already from my time in school.
But then scrolled down to see these comments.
That people actually threw those away.
Stunned and surprised over such stupidity….
I mean…. Doesn’t it states how to use and so on. On the package itself?
And if you do the cleaning using a drill and brush, consider wearing safety glasses so you don’t get chemicals in your eyes.
And all of the dirt you're removing...
The stripes on towels shrink when washed the recommended temperature
But if I drop the milk and the circle pops out, then how will I know it expired?
Taste
Smell
the shower curtain knot is how I vacuum around my window drapes.
Put them in a loose knot and have a free surface underneath to pick up the bugs/dust that get caught in the curtain normally.
I leave them like so to let in LOTS of natural light during the days I vacuum as well. Helps with seeing what im cleaning.
Thanks for making me feel "old" for info those of us in our 30's and older know already, or Should know already!
I especially loved the keyboard one at the beginning. Every new phone I get reminds me I can do that for the first 3 weeks of owning it.
Well I look at it this way - it's refreshing to see young people learning how to think, apply common sense, and use their brains to solve problems.
@@Miami7 I guess some of us find it weird that they have to learn it this way.
@@jamesalgeo5538 Many are born with already being able to think and figure things out quickly. Many are born with an inquisitive mind and will read, watch videos, seek out knowledge and will learn all kinds of things to make life easier, and just to know things. Many are already smart and have figured out these things early in life, so they're not surprised when they see something incredibly obvious. Like tying the shower curtain up doesn't exactly need to be made known in a video. Most people already just know to get the curtain out of the way if it's impeding their work, and will just automatically know to tie it, clip it, or even remove it. Surprisingly, many people are unable to think out the easiest things to benefit themselves. Many are born without an ounce of common sense at all. Many are just unable to think and have no idea how to come up with a solution to a simple problem. I'm pretty sure people can be taught how to think; it's just that they are not being taught anymore, so something simple like tying up the shower curtain to them is absolutely genius, while the rest smirk and can't believe some people are just now learning something that's been around forever, or requires only a tiny bit of common sense.
Yeah this is more for anybody born after the millennials basically gen Z on
Whoa, the pineapple blew my mind. Gotta try that.
Oh yes, I will totally tie the seatbelt through the doorhandle so that I too will have no opportunity to enter my own car again
How are you supposed get in your car if you are unable to open it?
I’ve wondered the same thing!
What really got me is the last one when he warns that the sound may invoke memories of the dentist. Oh no, I didn't even think of that until now! So now I'll know to run to my safe room after cleaning the tiles!!! Even running the water anywhere reminds me of the dentist... what am I going to do??
Spit
I hear that noise all day. I tune it out!
You have to put your drill up against the wall to get the bristles in position to do any cleaning. A different type of bristle head would be much better. Thank you for the cursor tip.
Yeah, DON'T pinch the match head to light a match.. I have had the head separate from the stick and ignite under my thumb. It hurts and leaves a nasty blister.
You squeezed it to tight then. Your only supposed to apply light pressure enough to allow friction to occur.
Exactly. I have done the same thing.
She is gorgeous so much respect to her she's a wonderful model
I’ve always used matches like that. Most people I know do. That wasn’t a mystery 😂
The way you are peeling eggs gives me a headache. I just drain the hot water off, and fill pan with cold water. Let soak. It doesn't have to be long
Wow! A whole lot of stuff that we already know and a lot of stuff that doesn't really work.
Some of these things are just old-time common sense. It shocks me that the "newer generation(s)" don't know these things.
I *will* admit, the brush heads that go on the power screwdriver/drill, that's an awesome thing and need to find where they sell those!!
See ik that, but didn’t know some of the other ones. I think a lot of it is brought up knowing. Like you learn it in your early years w/o remember learning it so you think you always knew… ;)
Think about it. That pink brush is just a large pipe cleaner brush from old. And it wouldn't last the whole job. The younger generation don't pay attention to there parents doing the work, or cleaning people do the job. Doesn't most cleaners dissolve and rinse away.
You can also use a nailbrush or old toothbrush to do it. Cleaning the gaps between tiles is something you normally just have to do once in five years.
- For every nonsense we nowadays think we need some electric tool and high-tech equipment.😆😂
Amazon has a bunch of different sizes, shapes & colors.
Who doesn't know how to light a matchbook match?
Bright side makes life so easy
Hello fren 🐸
This video is giving me 90's childhood vibes😂🤣
Any time you are using a power tool, wear safety glasses! Always protect your eyes. They don't grow back. 😎
I looked at my stapler from all sides, but did not find this secret compartment.
And if you do have one, you have to refill it yourself. It isn't magical.
@@tanyaredfield 6.00 Now I get it. It is showing how to refill the stapler. I was looking for a secret compartment where I could put additional stack of staples to use when the one in the machine exhausted. Ha ha ha !
Best tip: the space bar one!
The stripes on towels also have a name...it's called a Dobby.
I liked most of these but if I'm understanding the stapler bit right the tip was if you run out of staples than refill it? Lol
She is adorable!!
Love the girl!☺️
I am amazed more people aren't talking about her
@@catsaregovernmentspies I know right 😥
I like the seatbelt idea, I didn’t know that one.😊
Let's appreciate the effort and time in these videos and how much they inspire us and improve on our curiosity, Thank u bright side let's go Bright.
I like number one, that's so helpful ☺️
4:43 How are YOU supposed to get back in?
The one with the seat belt is kinda ridiculous, I mean if the thief can't get in how are YOU supposed to get in
Elephant in the room…HER BODY IS PERFECT 😩
4:46 how would a driver get in
Or get out
These aren't always true: most staplers do not have an extra compartment, not all oven doors can come off, the egg trick doesn't always work either, people are going to be disappointed out.
I have never encountered a stapler that doesn’t have this compartment… and I have seen many, many staplers in my day.
I work at a hospital, we have the worst of it all. If I could send you a picture, I would. Anyway, I’m disappointed now. Smh!
@@jennifert3528 usually there is a lever either on the back top of the part you press, or in the middle between the part you press and the stage where the staple gets curled.
@@capers72424 I just checked, not all have that capability, like I said to start.
@@jennifert3528 most do, you claimed from the start that most don’t, which makes me think you might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer…
Last cleaning tip with drill, brush, and cleaner. Do you think she needs goggles? Save a pretty girl !!!
When removing the oven door, it also helps to use the correct screwdriver...
ok so if you come out of your car and put the seat belt through the door handle and buckle it, how are you going to get back in ur car?
I'm sure they said for extra protection if you ever had to sleep in your car. How many doors have a handle like that though. They're usually some sort of lever action to open and moulded groove to pull it shut.
The stapler one took me out
On Bosch ovens you just need to press in the sides on the plastic bit and it slides off, and you can remove the inner glass piece.
The shower curtain and stapler thing are kinda common logic😅...or I could be wrong
THANK YOU!
Who else is just distracted about whos that girl acting
Yes I wanna know how the driver gets back in

I have never seen milk with a bump in the plastic bottle like the one shown.
Only in America
@@steve00alt70 - I'm in America and I've never seen it either >^..^
I’ve seen the bump and it’s never changed like that. Even when it was expired.
Yeah, I think it's actually designed to stiffen the jug so the sides hold their shape - like how corrugated metal is more stiff than sheet metal of the same thickness. Some of these "tips" are clearly made-up nonsense.
I guarantee that the milk will already be bad before that bump pops out. If you wait that long, the milk is REALLY bad.
Very helpful video.
The time it takes to go get the drill, scrubber, attach it, apply cleanser... you could have had that shower cleaned without the drill.
Really enjoyed those uses.
This is like 5min crafts, if 5min crafts gave realistic advice 😂
Eye's are your most needed sense, never use cleaning chemicals and a brush on a drill without protecting your eyes, I'm surprised they didn't say to wear safety glasses
Just curious..which country was this shot in ?
Idk if true but I have heard that the oven warranty may be invalidated if you take the door apart.
Some are designed to lift off the hinges - disassembling it further might lead to problems if someone is being picky. Or the door might be designed to let you do that for cleaning purposes.
Love your videos ! 🧡🙏
Very cool!
The hot water in a bag Trick is neat if it works, I'll try it once
That's it I know everything! Remember you heard it here first
I wish i knew that first tip years ago with the spacebar😅 would have saved me allot of cursing 😅
Nice sharing 🤗
love these!
All the car stuff you learn in drive-class, or reading the car manual so it’s not a big secret. And that last one is an electric drill, not a screwdriver LOL
Actually, I do believe it is a POWER drill, since there is no electricity used. There is no cord so it must run off of battery power.
@@87Ahoff87 so you don’t think the battery in the handle provided electricity?
@@CarlosArturoVelarde perhaps this is semantics, or more specifically vernacular, as typically or at least anywhere I have lived in the US (nationwide) these have been referred to as "power drills" rather than electric. 🤷♀
@@87Ahoff87 everywhere I have lived they are electric. Even the box they come in at the hardware store says electric. Power tools includes those that are powered by air/gas and hydraulics (liquids).
Anyway, the point of my original comment is that the tool used is a drill and not a screwdriver.
thank you and so interestingx
Let me try the spacebar tip… it worked🔥🔥🔥
Don’t light matches like that….the lit head can fly off
What a busy lady
She's from there other channel.

The little cursor trick thing actually works, just hit the space bar and hold it. Who knew!
😲 I feel so enlightened
I can never get the pineapple trick to work!
It is only for a certain kind of pineapple that is probably not that common in stores. Guaranteed the one in the video didn't actually work that way. It wasn't even ripe.
I'm feeling like pineapple today.
