There must have been times you have stopped over, or forgot your toothbrush and end up using your finger and toothpaste to brush your teeth..

What if you dont have a bandaid at hand, so you use a small ball of cotton wool and a strip of sellotape?

It has been known (and it was my brothers friend.. whether true or not, but where we are from and how drunk he gets, can be believable) that he didnt have a condom.. again, this was my bros, friend, so he used an empty bag of crisps (french fries) and an elastic band instead.. (poor slut)

When I was a student, I went over to my friends house..she boiled the kettle to make some tea, but Lisa made my tea.. unfortunately there wasnt a clean cup around, so she picked up and old cup with a broken handle, poured in the tea, and milk but it was to hot to hand over to me, so she dug in the bin and got out a piece of orange skin, folded that over the rim of the mug, to prevent burning her hands, and nonchantly handed me the cup of tea, with dirty orange peel holder and all..

Or your last ciggie has broken and you dont have any papers, so you use sellotape again, and inhale those oh so good plastic fumes...

What else have you used in an emergency, or maybe your friends have?

Plastic carrier bags from the supermarket for socks when I worked in the fields.....You can only have wet feet for so many hours in a day

The exhaust on my car snapped so I used an empty coca cola can and tie wraps to hold the exhaust together so I could drive home.


My favourite of all, I sliced my Finger open, down to the bone when I worked on a Dairy farm - My Boss sprayed a Liquid Skin product that we used on the cows teats which basically acts as a layer of skin to help slow up the bleeding and encourage the healing.....apparently that stuff stopped me from having to have my finger amputated.....

I am sure I could think of more, but it is late.....

Oh, the best was using my library card to start my car after breaking the key.

Not my idea, mind you. Boyfriend thought of it. Traced the outline of the broken key on the card and carved it out with a pocket knife. It fuckin' WORKED. The car started. I couldn't believe it.

ewww that last bit sounds horrible.. glad it worked out ok..

When I was in NY, it was mighty snowy, and I only had sneakers, so me and my colleague would put on socks, a carrier bag and another pair of socks and our sneakers to keep out the wet.. we were on the subway the day before we did that and all these new yorkers, stared at sarah when she trook off her sneakers and socks and squeezed out about a half pint of water from her socks.. lol..

we love shopping..

I have used old store cards to scrape the ice off my Grandmas freezer when defrosting it..

Arent credit cards good for unlocking doors too?

I used to use a bit of bent wire to get free phone calls when I was a student

You use spit.....oh I'm sorry, I assumed you were talking about something else. Sorry, I can't help you on the toothbrush situation. I've actually used a face towel or cloth with toothpaste.

Well yeah spit has been used to lube up my ass hole for anal..

REDFEATHERS said:

I don't know if I would consider that an EMERGENCY.

Well, maybe.

Nothing like a bit of open bunghole patter in the morning to start your day.


By open I mean honest.

Ok, as you were. I'm just going to 'ponder' your post for a while. Be right back.

i was going to say you use a giant coffee cup for a bowl when you didn't do the dishes...

but after all this anal talk it seems kinda out of place

emm said:

I, for one, definitely got distracted.

What was this thread about again??

Fauxie said:

I'm not sure, but I'm still trippin' on the empty bag and elastic band mentioned in the first post.

I heard someone say once they used bobby pins instead of Q-Tips.

I smoked banana peel instead of weed once. Didn't do much for me.

Also, you can use half a banana instead of one egg in recipes.

Decaf will do in a pinch.

If I can't find a guitar pick, a quarter will suffice, but not well.

Bryan May managed with a Sixpence.....in fact thats how he created his "Famous" punchy sound.....Just file down the edges.....or buy a Sixpence off Ebay.....

REDFEATHERS said:

I'm sure I read that in Bella on their Top Tips page.

eat out of a pan instead of from a plate

myownprivateinsanity said:

Wendy said if you used a quarter you weren't really suffering. I think Billy Gibbons used a flattened quarter, too.

NDRU said:

A friend who was teaching me guitar back in my teens always used metal picks.....he said they gave a better 'attack' - I preferred them too and I did have a sixpence . I haven't played a Guitar in over a decade now..... .....Maybe Santa will bring me one this year..... .....

myownprivateinsanity said:

I never liked coins because of the round edges. I like a point. I've never used a proper metal pick, though...

That is amazing!!!!

applekisses said:

What if the plastic broke while in the ignition? I wouldn't want to risk it and then pay for trying to get that out. I'd rather just buy another key.

myownprivateinsanity said:

This is fucking UNREAL, I've done both those and fixed it the same way... are we the same person?

Teacher said:

how about crazy glue on your cuts?

In case I don't have any friends,
I log onto the org.






Okay, okay,
I never have friends these days.

I used to.

But then one day,
I decided to put each & every one of 'em in their own "Break Glass In Case Of Emergency" case.
Y'know,
just in case I ever have those "I need a friend" emergencies.

What I didn't realize was that they all would deplete their oxygen within a very short amount of time,
& they all died. (Blast! )


Oh well,
you live & learn.



Que sera sera,
if you will.
