Life hacks, which offer an array of convenient tricks involving everything from summer
barbecues to
getting wasted at summer barceques, are incredibly helpful and often insanely brilliant. Occasionally, however, the only thing truly clever about them is that the person who came up with such an idea has managed to survive as long as they have. Hence, we present you with the following collection of some of the worst life hacks we've found on the Internet. Warning: these workarounds are almost more inconvenient (and certainly more dangerous) than the initial problem was in the first place.
