Not all clever little hacks are created equal. While some harmless shortcuts might make a job a bit easier, cutting corners in the wrong way will often get you an OSHA violation, or worse, electrocuted. And nobody wants to see you zapped to a crisp. Apparently getting electrocuted can change one’s personality, and we think yours is just fine, thank you very much. As much as we want to avoid a sketchy situation like that, it can be very entertaining to admire the life hacks (if we can call them that) of everyday geniuses. And we’ve got a bunch of funny examples of ingenuities that range from clever to extremely dangerous. Even the freakiest fails are kind of impressive in their own ways.
