🪑 1. The Wobbly Chair Fix (a.k.a. "Chair-o-practic Adjustment")

Symptom: Chair legs doing the cha-cha every time you sit down?
Fix: Grab a wine cork (bonus if you drank it yourself) and slice a thin round disc from the end. Glue it under the short leg using a strong adhesive. Voila—balanced like a yoga master.

Quirk Bonus: Paint it gold for a bougie “limited-edition cork stabilizer.”

🔌 2. Power Cord Fraying? Try the Spring Thing

Symptom: Your charger cable’s frayed and holding on for dear life.
Fix: Unscrew a spring from an old pen and coil it around the cable near the connector. It prevents more bending and adds some satisfying resistance.

Quirk Bonus: Name your cable. Ours is Sparky McFrayface.

🚪 3. Squeaky Door Driving You Mad?

Symptom: That door sounds like it belongs in a horror movie.
Fix: No WD-40? No problem. Rub a little petroleum jelly or even a bit of cooking oil onto the hinges. Open and close it a few times to work it in.

Quirk Bonus: If you use coconut oil, your hallway will smell like a beach vacation.

🥣 4. Slippery Spoon Syndrome

Symptom: Spoon keeps sliding into the soup pot.
Fix: Wrap a rubber band tightly around the spoon’s handle near the head. It’ll catch on the edge of the pot and stop the dive.

Quirk Bonus: Use brightly colored bands and pretend you’re on a cooking show called Soup-Stoppers Anonymous.

🕰️ 5. Wall Clock Tilt Trauma

Symptom: Your clock’s always just a few degrees from straight, and it’s maddening.
Fix: Dab a bit of toothpaste on the bottom edge of the clock (don’t worry, it dries). The friction keeps it straight without damaging your walls.

Quirk Bonus: Minty freshness every time you glance at the time.
