Want to charge your phone while lounging on the sofa, but the outlet is too far? You should get a longer charging cable. Remember, though, you might use your phone more often! One user feels it changes life “negatively because it allows people to spend more time on their cell phones (which) should be a wakeup call that they shouldn’t be spending as much time on the phone.” 

Gym Membership

Several people who’ve done this hack say it works, and people had no clue they were homeless.
