A woman using a hair dryer disguised as a speed gun to make drivers on the road slow down or a man using a torch to show a taxi driver his exact location — these are only a few examples of how people can switch on their wit and improvise in tough situations.

We at Bright Side want to show you more examples of how people use genius hacks of their own and seem to have found the cheat codes for life’s most challenging situations.
