16 Hidden Purposes Of Everyday Objects




We take so much of our lives for granted, and for the most part, we have to. You can’t operate on a day-to-day basis if you can’t count on the everyday objects that surround you to act like they should, and do what you want them to. If you can’t count on your keys to start your car, you’re never going to go anywhere.


But the people who design our tools and our clothes and our soda bottles don’t always share their genius insights with us. They think we’ll just discover what they had in mind as the need arises. And we all know that is seldom the case. If it’s not obvious, we’ll overlook it. However, a few detectives have figured out the purposes behind some everyday objects that were hidden from us. You’ll never look at a pot handle the same way again.











1. The end of a tape measure


Every home has a tape measure, but not everybody knows how to use it as it was intended. The end of the tape measure can make your life much easier when you’re trying to wrestle with it. There’s a hole in it that you can hook around the top of a nail or screw to hold it in place, and the serrated edge can mark a spot on whatever surface you’re trying to measure.




2. The holes in Converse shoes


They’re classic shoes that almost everyone has owned a pair of at one point in their lives. But, what are those two holes near the sole about? Have you ever seen anyone wearing Converse with laces through those holes? Well, the holes help your feet breathe, and, as it happens, lacing those strangely-placed holes can make for a closer fit! 











3. The little holes in airplane windows


What is it with things having mysterious holes in them? For airplanes, the holes in the windows are a critical way to keep the cabin pressure safe and steady. The ventilation also keeps the window from fogging. 




4. The hole in the pot handle


Once again, there’s a hole with a hidden purpose. Yes, you can use the hole to hang your pot when it’s not full of delicious sauce, but you can also keep the sauce on your spoon from dripping and splattering all over the place.




Seriously, there are a lot of purposeful holes in things…

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
